Bring Back the Hair Bands!

Growing up in the 80's, in the backwoods of Alaska, there wasn't much to look forward to each week.  Except one sweet thing...Friday Night Videos. Each week, I'd wait in anticipation, with a plate of nachos in one hand and a Cherry Coke in the other, anxious to see which videos were in the line-up. That is when I fell in love with the hair bands.   I mean, what's not to love?  Hot guys, in tight spandex, with long, permed, blond hair, dripping in sweat.  Yum.  Now, I would tolerate the pop stars: Cyndi Lauper, Madonna and Michael Jackson were regulars on FNV, but my heart would beat faster when these guys appeared:

Van Halen

AC/DC

Def Leppard

Def Leppard

 

Yum, Yum, Yummy. 

Go ahead, buy the CD, slip into some spandex and rock on!




 
 

Alternative Rain

Have you ever had a hard time picking out music?  You know, you keep scrolling through your iPod, or flipping through your discs.  I'm feeling that way this week about choosing what to post on the store site.  It seems I always go back to what I know and enjoy and tonight is no different.  So while the rain is falling here in Alaska, I posted some alternative rock CDs.  Here's the new offerings.

Fairweather Johnson Hootie & the Blowfish

Collective Soul

Gin blossoms

The 90's were the best for alternative music and these 3 are solid albums.  My good news for you is that they are each priced $3.99.  Right now we are running a 3 for $10 special on all our CDs priced $3.99 and under.  Just use coupon code 123 at checkout. 

Shhhh - just so you know, of all the songs on these albums my favorite is Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms.  What's yours?

SEO and R.E.M.

Today really was not my favorite day.  I spent the majority of it researching SEO, marketing and spiders.  I'm not as clueless as I was before but I am, without a doubt, a newbie.  The day was made better by R.E.M.  Another one of my favorite bands.  To make me feel better, and to share the love, I took a break from my research (and playing Castleville) to list 3 of their CDs.

Automatic For the People

 This CD is my favorite R.E.M. album.  But it does not contain my favorite song by them.  My favorite song is Losing My Religion.  Every time I hear that song it hits me like a ton of bricks.  It's me.

Eponymous

 Eponymous is a best of album and I like it a lot.  It's a great intro to who they were in the early years.
