Eiffel 65 – Europop

If you are reading this blog, I can safely assume that you are probably nine or above. If you are, you have heard this CD before. There is definitely the song “Blue”. You have heard this song, so I’m not going to cover it. What I am going [...]

Fatboy Slim – You've Come a Long Way Baby

While it’s not a huge important meaningful release, I put this album into the docket because it was the first techno album that EK ever listened to and actually liked.

98 Degrees – 98 Degrees and Rising

98 Degrees (98 disease, as I used to mockingly [...]

Natalie Imbruglia – Left of the Middle

While “Left of the Middle” is definitely the best album from Natalie Imbruglia, it also shares a special distinction as being the first CD I ever converted into MP3 format. Yep, that’s right, Granpa PKillur has been involved in digitizing his music for 12 years now. The [...]

Jamaroquai – Traveling Without Moving

Jamiroquai was an interesting band to me. What were they exactly? Funk? Dance? Techno? I’m still not quite sure to be honest with you. The song “Virtual Insanity” was by far the most memorable and notedly popular off of this album (and probably of the band’s history – maybe [...]

Tori Amos – Boys for Pele

Tori Amos has always piqued my curiosity – I had yet to buy an album from her until Boys for Pele came out. I really enjoyed her strange type of music that was strong chick vocals backed by a piano. Lyrically, I gotta be honest here, I rarely understood [...]

Queensryche – Promised Land

My six month(ish) stint at being a pharisee was over by the year I turned 14. It did me no good to be a jerk to my former friends, and honestly all of the other kids that were acting like I did were pretty strange. I attribute this to the [...]

Weird Al – Alapalooza

I loved this CD. I swung between two extremes this year. This was the only album that I listened to through all of my extremist personality swings (Hey, I was in Jr. High after all!). I would say my favorite song off of this album was ‘Franks 2000 Inch [...]

Ace of Base – The Sign

I have often thought of myself as someone who often eschews the mainstream and goes for stuff on the fringe edge. With technology, music, and books, I usually love “not the normal” kind of stuff. Except when I don’t. I would like to quote the esteemed Yahtzee [...]

Kris Kross – Totally Krossed Out

The first CD’s I can think of this year were the famous songs of “Jumping” that seemed to kick of 1992. What exactly am I referring to? You know you had this CD, and you are lying if you say you didn’t. It was “Totally Krossed Out” [...]

Milli Vanilli – All or Nothing

Elementary life in full swing, I got a quick boot into third grade, complete with Mrs’ Mansel – who is quite possible the most evil teacher of all time (she will be featured in an upcoming Lifechanger). Though we had moved in with my sisters, life was a little [...]

I know that at least one tape sticks out in my mind in 1988. It was a very strange year for us indeed as we moved into a house with my brother’s dad. He had 4 daughters and so I instantly had siblings. That was very very odd. I went from no [...]

Def Leppard – Hysteria

This was a breakout year for my music palate. I distinctly remember that the first album someone was with me to buy (other than my mom I believe) was Def Leppard’s Hysteria. This someone happened to be none other than grandpa Tom. Grandpa Tom was an awesome man, whom [...]

Peter Gabriel – So

Peter Gabriel: So, was the album we listened to a whole lot this year. Who doesn’t love Sledgehammer, with it’s insanely weird video to boot? For my money, I really liked the song “In your eyes” the best off of this album. The imagery in the song still takes [...]

Today’s post is going to be kinda short. I’m still drawing off of very limited memories of this time (5-6 Y.O.). Was still rocking out to Sesame Street and the likes.

We are the World

Major music I listened to was “We are the World” by a gajillion people.

A-ha – Hunting High and Low

Also, [...]

Michael Jackson's Thriller

The year was 1983-84. The cola wars were in full swing. Coca-Cola had definitely suffered major losses by losing my 4 year old indulgences to Pepsi. Why, you ask? Because, although a lot of really great music came out in the years between 83-84 I don’t remember anything but [...]

The year when I turned two was almost like two years. Half of the year I lived with my grandparents (and then later grandparents + mom) when my mom went into rehab. So I will start with my time with my grandparents:

Glenn Miller looked like my grandpa Jim

I was catapaulted musically 20-30 years [...]

Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'

So, I don’t recall (obviously, I would think) the music I listened to the first few years of my life all so much. So I will harken back to my mom’s garage sale collection of EP’s she had me try to hawk in the July sun when I was 13. [...]
