It's 2015 and music is dead. We long for the glory days of 1920s blues, 1930s country, 1940s bebop, 50s rock and roll, 60s girl groups, 70s punk, 80s new wave, 90s alternative and everything in between. We focus on music and pop culture from 1900 to 1999 – no later! Join us as we complain about the decline of pop culture and obsess over musicians who died before we were born. We post, discuss and sometimes podcast about anything and everything, as long as it's good (or funny) and from the past. Listen to our podcasts here.
