Old School Friday: Outside my box

Old School Friday: Outside my box

This week’s Old School Friday theme is “Outside my box.” I’ve found that my musical box has expanded in my old(er) age, and includes folks like “Steely Dan” But for this week’s theme I’ll go with Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” I wouldn’t have been caught dead listening to this...

Old School Friday: The Greatest of All Time

Old School Friday: The Greatest of All Time

Pretty tough category and a lot of ways to go with this one. I first thought about Prince, but then there’s not a lot of Prince footage on the web. Mary J is my girl and I could always throw up one of her joints. But I decided to go...

Old School Friday: Best Soul Train Perfomances

Sorry I’ve missed the last couple of OSF’s but I’m back with a vengence this week. The theme is Best Soul Train Performances. I’m not sure which is crazier in this video, how good James Brown is or Don Cornelius’ outfit. Here’s James Brown and Make it Funky. Check Out...

Old School Friday:  If I Were A Boy/Girl!

Old School Friday: If I Were A Boy/Girl!

This was an ambiguous theme to say the least: “If I were a boy/girl.”  I’m not in the mood to stray very far this week, so I’ll go with the dull and boring choice of Prince’s If I was your girlfriend.  Happy OSF

Happy Old School Friday: When I Was in 10th Grade (1990)

HAPPY OLD SCHOOL FRIDAY!!! Man what a treasure trove of great songs to choose from, so excuse me for breaking the rules and posting an extra song. Whip Appeal, Poison, Hold On. I really wanted to go with Ice Cube’s “Once Upon a Time in Projects” but not sure Dallas...

Old School Friday:  The Jacksons

Old School Friday: The Jacksons

Of course this week’s theme of the Jackson’s should be easy. Throw up “Billie Jean” , “Thriller” and “Control ” and call it a day right? But we’re supposed to dig a little and there’s so much to choose from. So let’s see what you think of what I came...

Old School Friday – Blues

Old School Friday – Blues

This week’s Old School Friday Theme is the Blues. I’ve got to go with Johnny Taylor’s “Last Two Dollars.” There’s another guy singing it on this YouTube Clip, but the song is great. Happy Old School Friday!

Old School Friday: Favorite TV Show Themes

Old School Friday: Favorite TV Show Themes

Thursday nights back in the day were all about NBC. Different World, The Keaton’s (Family Ties) Cheers, eventually Seinfeld, I loved them all. But of course the king of the roost was The Cosby Show. The season premier of Cosby became like a Michael Jackson video debut once they started...
