We're back!

Hello all. Back from hiatus, and invigorated to talk about the sounds of two decades ago. You know what got my creative juices flowing again? The big top-40 station here has done three "Big '90s weekends" in a row, full of Sugar Ray, Ace of Base, Digable Planets, Gin Blossoms, and more. And it made me realize that yes, I am the same age as those slightly unhip people grooving to "Big '80s weekends" were around the turn of the century. sigh.

If you've missed having regular posts on this site, I hope you've filled the '90s-shaped hole in your Internet life with the absolutely outstanding series Whatever Happened to Alternative Nation? on the AV club. I can't recommend it enough, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the final installment, on 1999 (will they mention Stroke 9 and Vertical Horizon? Fingers crossed!).
