Nostalgia is ubiquitous. Everywhere you turn, there's a reboot or a remake or a retread of something that came before. The danger of looking back so much is you can forget to look ahead. All that said, it's fun every so often to explore the past. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 1997 in hour 2. It's a fun trip through what I was listening to the year I hit the big 3-0 (!). It's devilishly fun!

In case you hadn't noticed the last few weeks, I'm not posting shows to Mixcloud; they're pushing people to pony up for the premium level and I'm not doing that. So just put putting the link here to the archived shows on BFF.fm. Alas, the player isn't embeddable, so there's just the URL. Go listen to the show here.
