Retro Rewind: Where’s your funky bus fare?
It’s been like what, a year since my last Retro Rewind? I don’t even have a good reason for why I stopped but the consequences have been severe, taking a glance at the latest Top 20 is proof enough that my harmonious antidote to the garbage that’s being spewed out currently is desperately needed.

A very merry RetroRewind: The 5 worst Christmas songs we all know.
Unlike the “What I’m thankful for” post at Thanksgiving, which I will never do, I am writing a Christmas post. There are countless articles about the worst Christmas songs of all time, except there’s only one problem with most – I don’t recognize many of the songs they included.
