PRI's Marketplace Morning Report pushed me back a few years in pop nostalgia this morning -- the end track of their 8:50a ET segment was Kid Koala's Stompin' at Le Savoi. There was something about the drum and horn combination that immediately made me think of JC Chasez's "Blowin' Me Up With Her Love" off the Drumline soundtrack.

Chances are that it left husks of broken fans across the country, huddled in little piles in their living rooms, with tapes playing on a constant loop. Broken up with segments on each of The Boys, … [Read more...] about Just Drive, She Said
