Whigfield: Saturday Night
This is one of those songs you are ashamed to admit to listening to, back in the day. The day was 1994, the song, “Saturday Night”, by Danish singer Whigfield. “Saturday Night” even had a dance routine, a flurry of arm movements, jumps, bends and steps that I am pleased to announce I [...]
David Gray: Babylon
“Friday night I’m going nowhere All the lights are changing green to red.
Turning over TV stations Situations running through my head”
Ahhh.. There’s nothing like a listen to David Gray’s fourth studio album on an otherwise gray (no pun intended) day. The record as a whole sends your thoughts on an emotional journey that cries [...]

Madness: Baggy Trousers
And so let the March Madness begin. Do you have a bracket filled in for the NCAA Basketball Tournament? Is it as busted as mine is this morning? Fear not, your woes can be forgotten, because I have another Madness to present to you! Baggy Trousers is a 1980 song performed [...]
