Friday 90s
Phil Collins – Another Day in Paradise
I am very confident that you do NOT know what “Another Day in Paradise is about so let’s learn together!
Mariah Carey – Hero – Friday Nineties
So I am bringing Friday Nineties back this year and I have decided that I am only going to do songs that are 25 years old or older for the whole year. I really want you to say: What? That can't be 25 years old! Then you fall down and break your hip. So let's start...
Friday 90’s – Man On The Moon
Hey y’all, it’s Jackie, back with another Friday 90’s! In honor of the December 17th birthday of my favorite bass player—and favorite Twitter follower—Mike Mills from R.E.M., I’m going to be recapping one of the best R.E.M. songs to feature his melodic bass lines.
Friday 90’s – Country Feedback
R.E.M.’s album Out of Time is best known for introducing the world to “Losing My Religion” and “Shiny Happy People”, but the 1991 release also contains my favorite R.E.M. song ever: “Country Feedback”.
Friday Nineties – Naked Gun 33 1/3 – The Final Insult
Ahhh, 1994. It was a simpler time. O.J. Simpson hadn't killed anybody, Anna Nicole Smith was alive and still on the happy side of curvy and Leslie Neilsen was still Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad. The makers of Airplane also made the Police Squad!...
Prince – Sexy M.F.
Prince died a year ago today. I was ordered to listen to Sexy M.F. yesterday which I did and then I realized that today was Friday so it made sense to feature it. And listening to it made me think of a really good friend of mine that I lost touch...
Friday Nineties – Eagle-Eye Cherry – Save Tonight
I know some fascinating facts about Eagle-Eye Cherry that will AMAZE you if you have a very low bar for amazement. But his song is great and you haven’t heard it in a while so give it a listen and learn my fascinating facts!
A Long December – Counting Crows
I forgot about this song by Counting Crows and since I am getting ready to move to NY and make Chezcadia my "summer home" (I'm very fancy, btw) I can't help but think of how many times I've moved. It's not easy being Bruce Banner, always trying to stay ahead of that...
Naughty by Nature – Feel me Flow
Nominated for a Grammy in 1995, "Feel me Flow" sits right smack dab in the middle of hip hop pushing its way into pop. The song made it all the way to #17 that year and I can personally attest to its popularity. My measurement is the tapes I had in my...
Friday Nineties – R.E.M. – Nightswimming
Automatic for the People was the album that flippd R.E.M. from a college bad that everyone from college liked to a mainstream band that caused people who liked them in college to get confused and angry. 1992 brought us Nevrmind the debut album from Nirvana which is...
More than Words by Extreme was #1- 25 Years Ago – Friday Nineties
Twenty Five Years ago this week skinny crooners Extreme hit the top of the charts with their classic "More than Words". Not only is the song catchy, but boy is it easy to sing along to. I remember riding in the dump truck at the cemetery (we had to go to lunch in a...
Friday Nineties – R.E.M. – Drive
Political screed or motivational messaging to grungy youths? "Drive" by R.E.M. could be either, or may be both. Released in 1992 off of the Automatic for the People album, the song leads off in the first verse using the term "Bushwhacked". That's why some people...
