This is another post brought to you by the combined powers of insomnia and nostalgia. A potent combo to say the least.And apparently even fire has a soft side when it comes to nostalgia. When I was first walking through what was left of my house last July, I found my high school yearbook from my senior year, miraculously untouched by the flames. Everything around it was incinerated, but this o...
Just wanted to drop-in to the MOGOS and say a quick, heartfelt 'thank you' to all those fellow MOGers that risked receiving loads of worthless junk e-mails for years to come from a random Clear Channel radio station 1000's of miles away from them so that they could cast a vote for Forged In Violet. *It pains me to tell you all that we did not triumph in the contest; but in the end, we are all w...

After two albums of classic covers and throwback jams, could it be that Boyz II Men is bringing back that Cooley High Harmony that made them legends on the roster of Motown and in the hearts of R&B lovers everywhere? This joint sounds like an excellent comeback single for the quartet-turned-trio. I'mma indulge for a minute - circa 1992 (End of the Road Era) : Boyz II Men was my favorite R&B g...

Boyz II Men - Motown - A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007)Three years after the all-covers Throwback -- a release that included some pleasantly surprising choices, like One Way's "Cutie Pie" and Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do for Love" -- Boyz II Men reappear not with yet another covers affair.
