BATTLE: Jennifer Paige – Crush -VS- Robyn – Show Me Love
Ahh the late 90s! These songs seem to age a little better than some other popular songs at the time (I know, I know, it’s a remake..). Props to Robyn for continuing to make fun music in the 2010s.
BATTLE: Jan Hammer – Crockett’s Theme -VS- Stu Phillips – Knight of the Phoenix: Test Drive
Today’s Battle is a TV score match-up and a true Tortoise and the Hare race. The list of artists who have sampled Knight Rider is exhausting so if you never watched the show, I’m sure you’ve heard pieces of the theme in some capacity by now.
COMMERCIAL: Sunrise, Lyre, and The Afternoon

A USA vs Brazil showdown would normally be a soccer match, but not today! Camp Lo samples Dynasty and Marcelo D2 samples Claudia so heavily they should really be called remixes, but either way they’re fun songs.
BATTLE: Spice Girls – 2 Become 1 -VS- Hanson – MMMBop
Don’t be embarrassed. It’s been 15 years since these songs were hits and if we can’t like them now, when can we? Both groups were the butt of plenty of jokes, but they were popular for a reason. I still think MMMBop is one of the best examples of a Pop song in existence (today’s […]
PANDORA: Amon Tobin Radio by Toasty
LISTEN: Amon Tobin Radio I’ve often told Toasty that he’s the most musical person I know who still doesn’t play an instrument. Being old friends (and a few years his junior) a lot of my early music exposure/taste was influenced by Toasty in high school. Early artists like PVD, Oakenfold and the DJ mixes of […]
