Remixes Revenge/10 Years of Music

Everywhere I go I see a remake of this song or a remix of that song. Sometimes these can be awesome or they can become something makes you want to rip a Barbie head doll off and sling shot it with your Stretch Armstrong. For example a singer I have loved over the past few months, Nicki Minaj, recorded Barbie Girl and sampled...... well Barbie Girl by Aqua. I was less than a fan of that song. On the flip side there are great remakes and remixes out there. Check out DJ Earworm on Youtube. I am still loving this song from last year.


With another year over I look back at the past decade of music. The 50's were the "Birth of Rock and Roll". The 60's can be called the "Birth of Pop", with the Beatles, The Band, Woodstock and more. 70's were the Disco era. The 80's were all about rock. The 90's took grunge and punk out of the basement and put it center stage. What can be said for the 2000's? Will this be the decade of crossovers? So many Pop singers are being played on country stations. While pop stations are playing everything from country to Hip Hop. With hip hop hitting the mainstream Auto-Tune has been used more and more. If the 2000's are known as the Crossover era what will we see in 10's?

As I have been doing for the few decades I will just listen to what ever peaks my interest. Looking forward to seeing what a new year and a new decade will bring.
