“Nothin’ But a Good Time” Trailer!

Aaaaaaaaahhhh!

This looks so awesome.

The 80’s Hair Band docuseries  “Nothin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of 80’s Hair Metal” comes out on September 17th on Paramount +, and the trailer has me all kinds of ready:

So much yesssss… everyone from Poison to GNR to Def Leppard will be featured, and as a life long 80’s hairmetal fan, I definitely have this on my “must watch” list.

It’s a time that never will come again (thankfully) but oh, how glorious it was.

Like, in a really awesomely bad way.

Can we bring the look back, at least? I’m still a fan.

Who needs an Ozone layer when you can have hair like that?

The Harvard Opportunes SLAY a Whitney Houston Classic!

Leave it to Harvard to not only have super smart people, but also insanely vocally talented ones, too.

This video popped up on my YouTube feed today, and I was intrigued, so I clikced it, and was absolutely blown away.

The Opportunes (Get it? Nice play on words) just posted a video of a recent performance of the Whitney Houston classic “How Will I Know”, with Nicole Alexander as the soloist, and it’s absolutely incredible!

Well, damn…

How good was that, though, seriously?

And I had to look up Nicole Alexander, and she has a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@nikkinicolemusic and I’m surprised that it doesn’t have more followers than it does, because she is freaking magic.

They are all fantastic, and now I’m a fan. I literally just went down The Opportunes rabbit hole, and you can to, at https://www.harvardopportunes.com/

Oh, and this…

You’re welcome.

Kate Hudson Covers “Voices Carry” to Perfection!

Damn, Kate Hudson can SING!

I mean, we already knew that as she’s releasing her first ever album soon, but hearing her take on the 80’s Til’ Tuesday Classic “Voices Carry” on “The Howard Stern Show” this week, well, I am seriously impressed.


Get it, girl!

That is NOT an easy song to sing. Kate kept it close to the original while adding something extra to it.

Also, that band is really good as well.

Kate Hudson’s debut album “Glorious” comes out on May 17th.

Boy George Interview!

Being a child of the 80’s and growing up in the MTV era – you know, back when they had music videos? Good times- I was more than happy to chat with the iconic Boy George of Culture Club this week!

How much fun is he?  I just adore him even more now.
Boy George with Culture Club, Howard Jones and Berlin are hitting the road this Summer, and you can catch them in KC at the Starlight Theater on August 8th!

Queen “Face It Alone”

I’ve been waiting for this for awhile… and it’s here!

Brian May (iconic guitarist of Queen for those not well-informed on such matters) announced earlier this year that Queen would be putting out a new album with the late Freddie Mercury’s vocals.  Engineers spliced some stuff from recording sessions in the late 80’s to make it happen, and you know what? It’s pretty flipping spectcular.

Freddies vocals still give me the chills, and Brian May’s guitar solo is on fire, as per usual.

Can you totally see this song on a movie soundtrack? Like a Bond movie or something. That’s the vibe I’m getting.

Any more recordings that can be spliced together, guys? I may need more of this.
