History Repeats Itself
Just like how old music comes back around to be trendy again, so do the ways we listen to it. In my prime time as a DJ in the 1990s, I would hit up music stores at least weekly, if not more, to further my quest of finding new music, or older hidden gems. One…

Vinyl Records – History Repeats Itself
You can’t find CD’s anymore, but nearly every store sells vinyl records now… Back in my younger days (waaaay back in the 1990’s), I was a professional DJ for many years of my life. . There was no internet yet (gasp!), so when we wanted to search for new music we had to go actually…

Usually I have some negative commentary to say about declining morals and values after watching the halftime shows, but this year wasn’t horrible. It…

Can Super Bowl Half Time Shows Get Any Worse? Apparently, Yes!
With a worldwide audience of nearly a hundred million viewers, you’d think the show producers would want to create the best performance ever. That no longer seems to be the case.

Bring Back Achy Breaky Heart!
In 1992, the song “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus, was all over the radio. It reached #1 on the music charts in multiple countries before suddenly becoming one of the worst, most hated songs of all time. How does a popular song everyone loves because something no one ever wants to hear again?…

Getting Married? Choose the BEST First Dance Song
The symbolic first dance at a wedding reception sets the musical tone for your new life together, but before you tell the DJ to play that special song, make sure it’s the right one. Perhaps the chorus of your favorite song has some words which resonate with your mushy feelings. Maybe “your” song was the…

Who Thought Kidz Bop Was A Good Idea?
Kidz Bop is a musical nightmare, quite possibly thought up by Satan to torture those who walk the Earth. If you’re not familiar with Kidz Bop, be very grateful. Many parents don’t want their kids listening to pop music because of the inappropriate messages in the lyrics. Sometimes they may not the like the artist…
