Welcome back to another fun-filled edition of CHART ATTACK! I really love this week. At the time, I was 10 years old, and was starting to listen to the radio…
Welcome back, folks, to another week of Adventures Through The Mines Of Mellow Gold! I want you to know that I am covering today’s song under great duress. It took…
Hooray for Friday! The end of another work-week, and time to rip open another Top 10 from the vaults. How about July 12, 1980? 10. Let Me Love You Tonight…
Hi again, everybody! It’s that time again – that time when we dissolve any sense of self-respect and go spelunking through the Mines Of Mellow Gold! David Soul – Don’t…
Howdy, everybody! We’re back for yet another week of this crazy lil’ thing called CHART ATTACK! Hope you’re ready to help me tear apart the Top 10 from July 6,…
Happy Fourth of July, dear readers! What better way to celebrate this country’s independence than to review yet another tale of unabashed codependency? And, of course, in conjunction with this…
Hi hi hi hi hi! Welcome back to another fun-filled CHART ATTACK! This week we’re heading back up to the end of the ’80s – July 1, 1989! 10. I’ll…
While I definitely think it’s too early in this site’s life to start reposting anything on a regular basis, it’s also the summer and I’m trying to take advantage of…
Hi everybody! Let’s see, in recent weeks we’ve done ’84, ’88 and ’86…so naturally, you know where I’m headed. Let’s take a look at the charts during the week of…
A quick anecdote before we start today: on Saturday, Mike and I did one of our “Acoustic ’80s” gigs. In between songs, we somehow wound up mentioning Little River Band,…
Howdy, and welcome back to another Friday edition of CHART ATTACK! The week we’re attacking this time ’round is a bit depressing – 60% ballads, with only one of them…
Welcome back to another week here at Adventures Through The Mines Of Mellow Gold, where I have the inexplicable need to mention the name of the series at the beginning…
Oh, 1984. I can’t stay away from you for very long. I love you too much. And you looked pretty good this week – June 9, 1984, to be exact!…
Hang on to your precious lil’ mining hats, my mellow friends: today we’re going deep, deep into the mines. How deep? Deep enough that the song we’re covering never came…
Happy Friday, everybody! It’s time for another fun-filled edition of CHART ATTACK!, this time from one of those weeks where I heard every one of these songs on the radio…
Welcome back to another week of Adventures Through The Mines Of Mellow Gold! Before I get started – anybody see The Simpsons a couple of weeks ago, where Homer becomes…
Hooray! I didn’t think it’d be possible to churn this out for today, but right after writing that “Chartless” post, I had the idea that maybe I could take a…
So. Apparently you guys weren’t on board for last week’s selection, “Couldn’t Get It Right.” Hell, you were even skeptical that there was any cowbell in the song at all….
First things first: Happy Birthday to Jefito! Jeff is, as you know, my gay somewhat heterosexual musical lifemate. He inspired this site, he designed this site, and he writes the…
Hi everybody, and welcome back to CHART ATTACK! It’s true: I turned 30 on Wednesday. (See my Pablo Cruise t-shirt??) I thought it’d be fun to see what songs were…
Hey, hey! Wednesday’s here! And that means that it’s time to review the wimpiest music on the planet! We do it every week here on Adventures Through The Mines Of…
It’s pretty obvious that when it comes to CHART ATTACK!, I tend to stay within the ’80s, sometimes the late ’70s or early ’90s. This week, I decided to pick…
Brace yourselves, Mellow Miners: it’s gonna get a little gloomy here today. Here are the rules: you’re allowed to stick your lower lip out, you’re allowed to find a teddy…
Happy Friday, everybody! Here’s one thing we can say about this week’s Billboard Top 10: everybody wanted to boogie. That’s right: we’re going back to those somewhat awful days of…
Here’s a question, everybody: how did we get this far in Adventures Through The Mines Of Mellow Gold – #30! – without covering Pablo Cruise? I intend to remedy this…
Welcome back, everybody, to another week of CHART ATTACK! This week’s another good one for the charts; I had a great time writing about every single one of these songs. …
Hi everyone! Listen, I get it: I need to listen to ELO. Thanks for all the tips – and for enduring last week’s suckfest of Olivia and Cliff. I think…
Welcome back, everybody, to another edition of CHART ATTACK! I know that you’ve been dying all week to know what was rocking the charts during the week of April 18,…
We’ve covered the men. We’ve covered the women. We’ve even covered a few people who run somewhere in the middle. But we have yet to cover the male-female Mellow Duet…
You guys, not for nothing, but in my humble opinion, 1986 was a totally kick-ass year for music. As I listen to the Top 100 for the year overall, I…
