Grunge Revisited!

"Grunge". If you lived through the 90's, this word probably has a very specific meaning for you. It was inescapable to be sure. You probably either embraced it or you hated it. I think it gets a bit of bad rap amongst music snobs. There were certainly some artists that cashed in on the phenomenon, but there were also some really great acts. The fact that some of these really great acts made boatloads of money, probably rubbed some people the wrong way. I know I got tired of a lot of these bands. Recentely, I decided to revisit some of these albums, and I found myself enjoying the music way more than I expected. I decided to make and share this playlist. Hopefully you already own or are at least familiar with the genre defining Singles Soundtrack. This playlist works as a nice companion piece. Many of the same artists but none of the same songs. Happy listening!

Merry Christmas Everbody!

I know, I know, I keep saying I'm back, and then I disappear. Honestly, I just think it's some kind of weird magic that this space still exists. Well, the reason I'm here is because I decided to make a master playlist of my Xmas Redux comps over on Spotify. Of course they didn't have all of my selections, but I was impressed with the amount of songs that were available. All told, it's up to 8+ hours of Christmas Cheer. If you'd like to give it a go, here ya go:

Millennial Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the Third Psychedelic Era, 1996-2015

What if Rhino put together a fourth Nuggets Box Set? About 5 years ago, I put four playlists together on my iTunes library using that very concept. These most likely would have shown up on this very blog, had I still been actively blogging at the time. A recent thread in a Facebook group I frequent, reminded that I had tackled this, so I decided to see if I could recreate those playlists on Spotify. Turns out, pretty much most of what I picked was available on there. A few were missing and I had to swap tracks for certain artists, but I was pleasantly surprised. I put it all on one playlist on Spot. 107 tracks and a little over 5 hours worth. I will probaly continute to add to this playlist but if you'd like to listen to what I have so far . . .
