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 [...]
Weezer: Holiday
“Let’s go away for a while, You and I, To a strange and distant land”
Isn’t being on vacation awesome! Weezer’s debut “Blue” album certainly was one of the top summer albums of the 90’s, and fully deserves a mention for it’s suite of garage-rock/power-pop songs such as “Buddy Holly”, “surf Wax America” and “The [...]

Guided by Voices: The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory
How is it that out of the blue an amazing track appears in my midst? The other day, one of my friends tweeted this track and claimed it to be the greatest recording ever recorded. I just had to check this out, first because I had never heard of this track before, and [...]
Oasis: The Masterplan
Reports came out today that Oasis have split up, Noel Gallagher quitting the band following some major disagreements with fellow band-member and brother Liam. This doesn’t surprise me – the Gallagher brother’s have a fiery temper, all too evident if you read the daily tabloids… but it does seem like their is no turning back [...]
