Today I took the leap into the world of nostalgia blogging. After a brief foray into travel blogging and (forever unpublished) novel writing, I found myself in need of a new creative outlet to relieve the boredom of my life as an IT manager in a bland M4 corridor-commuter town.
Over the last couple of months as the UK swelters in a 1995-esque heatwave, I found myself creating 90s summer playlists on my iPod, reminiscent of what I used to listen to on Capital radio (before they began playing the same 10 tracks in a loop) and my Walkman back in the days when music was actually good (...that makes me sound old) Last weekend, my brother told me he had an 'urge to listen to songs from 1994' on a recent road trip with friends, which inspired me to create him a list of songs from said year for his next trip. I found myself getting embarrassingly excited and exclaiming 'I haven't heard that in years!' as I scrolled through the chart archives from 19 years ago to compile the list. So I thought to myself, I need to do this more.... and share it with other sad people like me who are still musically twenty years behind. Maybe throw in some movies, fashion and fads too.
So here it is my first entry! I might post twice and get bored, I might still be doing this in 10 years when the noughties is retro again, let's see...
