It’s the Friday Five! Shuffle through five random tracks from your library and share it with the Popdose community.

Join the Popdose Staff as they say “Thank You” to the people that introduced them to the music that shaped their lives.
Popdose soldiers on with our Digging for Gold series and looks at another six tracks from Time-Life Music’s AM Gold: 1962.
The Dean Martin Variety Show offered a little something for everyone. There was music (well, duh) and plenty of laughs, but there was also a lot of style. Everyone on stage who joined Dean carried with them a sense of class. Most important, everyone on the show seemed to be having a great time, often at the expense of Dean.
The second installment of Digging for Gold explores more of 1962’s hippest tunes. And Gene Pitney.
Rod Stewart has made another crappy standards album. “Rob Smith Can’t Say No,” but he CAN suggest some alternative listening.
