This is Part 2 of a 10-part series. To view Part 1 about Michael Jackson’s Thriller, click here. When I left off last time I was just a 7-year-old boy with a boombox waiting to hear Casey Kasem play Michael Jackson. As time passed I started finding other music to listen to. I loved Prince. […]
Back for a second year, it’s my mixtape of my favorite songs of the year. I know you’ve all been waiting. Another year has gone by and I’ve gotten another year older. My desire to keep up with what’s hot continues to wane and I’d rather spend my time digging in to old vinyl than […]

I remember proudly presenting my Michael Jackson “Thriller” vinyl at show-and-tell in Mrs. Anderson’s 1st grade class. I still have some New Jack Swing-Era 12″ singles.
