Dope Nostalgia

Tim and Jason from Dig Me Out Podcast are my guests, and this topic is deep - What caused the death of hair metal? The days of hard partying, groupies, and hairspray were wearing thin on many. We like to blame the grunge era, but were other factors at play? Record companies, power ballads, college rock, oversaturation, and more are discussed. Which rockers survived the blow? (maybe literally)...

My guest is Jamie from The 80's & 90's Podcast! Our topic: One of the greatest dance acts of the decade - C+C Music Factory. Founded by producers David Cole and Robert Clivilles, they had smash hits all over the Billboard charts, and their fair share of controversy, heartbreak, and legal drama. They worked on mixes for popular artists, as well as creating the group Seduction. We discuss the loss of David Cole, and Freedom Williams continuing to use the group's name to market himself as a performer.

From the days of BSB, NSYNC, and Britney comes the girl group Innosense! Member Veronica Davidson (formerly Finn) is here to get nostalgic with me. She replaced Britney Spears in the group, and was Justin Timberlake's first girlfriend.

Decided to give you a short episode during our road trip travels, following the first 2 shows of New Kids On The Block's Magic Summer Tour!

Adrian from Rattail, and Chrissy & Rebecca from Meow Meow Crew are driving from Chicago to Detroit, recounting the first 2 shows, spoiler free.

I share the details of my individual meet and greet with the group, as close as I remember from my scattered memory and nerves! Some wording might be a guestimate.

TikTok and IG creator @retro.avocado AKA Janine DeMichele Baggett is my guest, as we share experiences of growing up in a Christian household. We have common ground in that we were limited to what we were allowed to listen to in music. Janine loved the music of Stacie Orrico, and we talk about her song catalogue and her influence on us. With over 18.5M likes on TikTok for her fun, retro videos, Janine is one to follow!

My guest Lyndsay owns the TikTok channel "Nostalgia Canadiana", and posts the best VHS finds. She informed me of a group I had no idea existed: KIDEO! 3 talented rock musicians who made a children's TV show on YTV and other international outlets. Both Rush and a Blue Jays pitcher made music with them. We also talk EP/LP/SP speeds and retro commercials.

If you remember KIDEO, make sure you contact us with your KIDEO memories.

Eric, Tim, and Joe from "Somewhere In Time Podcast" are here to discuss the band that has been credited with influencing Nu-Metal and blew up the scene in the early '90's - Faith No More. Vocalist Mike Patton has been labeled as one of the greatest rock singers ever. We talk about his gross stage antics, their beef with GNR and RHCP, Mr. Bungle, and how the band seemed to not get along.

My guest Joe Valenzuela of Milk Carton Pop Stars blog is here to chat about Deee-Lite! I considered them crazy weird when they debuted in 1990 with the smash hit "Groove Is In The Heart", but that song has lasted over the decades and now has a solid place in dance music history. We talk about members Lady Miss Kier, DJ Dmitri, and Towa Tei, their collab with Bootsy Collins, long jewel boxes for CD's, and more!

Shaleena from "Everything 90s Podcast" is the guest, as us 2 Canucks chat about Canadian R&B princess Keshia Chante! She has also been dubbed Drake's first girlfriend, so we do a small study on his lyrics about "Kiki". We talk about her excellent music, and her beef with Bow Wow when co-hosting "106 & Park".

I also debut a new segment where I chat with Gen Z and younger Millennials about their 90's knowledge.
