Anytime 98 Degrees is in the news, I become instantly excited, because as I’ve disclosed before, they (and Backstreet Boys) are my all-time favorite boy bands. And sadly, even in my early 30’s and in 2014, I still listen to ALL of their albums on a fairly regular basis. So I found it quite funny when I recently saw an interview with Nick Lachey in which he was asked, “Who was the most overrated boy band of the 90’s?” I wish I could remember which TV show it was on – because I’d link it so you could see his response, which was HILARIOUS – Read More …

Want proof that you’re NOT crazy for still obsessing over the ’90’s? Consider how many 90’s stars seem to be poppin’ out kids on an almost weekly basis. I feel like “Back In The Day Buzz” has become a baby shower guest book with all of the congratulations I keep throwing out to healthy births – but I LOVE that!! The latest couple has double the 90’s power – Gwen Stefani and her husband, former Bush lead singer, Gavin Rossdale, who had their third child together – a healthy boy named Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale! The two are 44 and 48, respectively, and I’m glad Read More …

We start this edition with some “aaawwww, that’s so cute” news thanks to Mariah Carey. Mariah recently told People her two and a half year old twins (Moroccan and Monroe) will be joining her on a new track off of her forthcoming album this May. Apparently the twins liked saying some of the words they heard when she’d preview the song, and so Mariah had the kids start recording lines and “takes” into her voice memo on the iPhone. Several weeks later and “voila!” This will certainly be fun for her to share with fans and someday, for the whole family to look back at! Read More …

It’s Super Bowl Weekend and we couldn’t be more excited about seeing Red Hot Chili Peppers performing during halftime of “the big game!” And in true RHCP form, they are taking an exciting performance and making it even better, as drummer Chad Smith will be auctioning off his custom drum set for charity. The proceeds will go to the “Make-A-Wish Foundation,” which is doing as much for kids as anyone. Thank you Chad for doing this and thank you Bruno Mars for inviting RHCP to join you on the field during the Pepsi Halftime show in the first place!!! Should be a memorable show. Next, Read More …

One song that we should probably play more on Round Trip is “The Most Beautiful Girl In The World” by Prince. Although technically, I think it was by “symbol” at that time (sorry, my keyboard can’t make the appropriate marks, so we’ll just call him “symbol”). Why do I randomly bring up “The Most Beautiful Girl In The World?” A. It’s a kick butt ’90’s pop song but: B. Prince is on my mind because it was just announced that he is going to be appearing on an episode of “New Girl” following the Super Bowl in just one week! Here’s the official description of Read More …

Welcome to 2014!! Hard to believe we’re already into the thick of winter and before we know it, it’ll be Valentine’s Day again! And leave it to none other than Mariah Carey to make February 14th the best Valentine’s Day in the history for one lucky couple. To be exact, Mariah recently announced that she will fly one lucky couple to HER HOUSE… from ANYWHERE in the world… and she’ll play a private romantic concert for them. Think of it – all her great 90’s songs, for just you and yours – songs like “Hero,” “Dreamlover,” “Fantasy,” “Butterfly,” “Honey,” “Make It Happen” and “Anytime You Read More …

As many businesses go, our website developer and content team are taking some much deserved time off over the next two weeks to spend with their family. So, I wanted to sneak in a quick entry before they did and wish you and yours both Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! This is such a special time of the year and I sincerely hope you’re able to spend it with family and/or those closest to you. It’s cheesy to say this, but give them all a hug and tell them how much they mean to you, and “soak up” every minute you have with Read More …

We start this middle of December edition with both good and bad news for Green Day fans. We’ll start with the bad, as the band has decided they’ll “take a break to unwind” following the Australian leg of their tour in March. The good news is that they will “recharge their batteries” and be ready to go at it bigger and better than ever afterward, so this is NOT the end of Green Day as we know it! I’d also like to say that I find Billie Joe to be a pretty big inspiration, both as an artist and how he’s overcome substance abuse problems Read More …

Our “Turkey Day” edition of “Back In The Day Buzz” begins with perhaps the most exciting news we’ve heard in awhile – that Ed Kowalczyk (formerly of Live) is touring again (with Toad The Wet Sprocket) and putting out new material, including the album “The Flood and The Mercy” and the single “Seven.” To refresh, Kowalcyzk was the lead singer of Live from 1988-2009 when things got ugly and the other three members of Live decided to “take legal action” against Kowalczyk who in turn, said he would “never work with them again, either.” The band has since moved on and luckily, so has Kowalczyk, Read More …

We thought it would be a lot longer after the VMA”s before ‘N Sync reunited again. However, it wasn’t long at all, as the boys got together again last week at group member Chris Kirkpatrick ‘s wedding in Orlando! Kirkpatrick married the woman who has quite possibly the coolest sounding name I have ever heard – Karly Skladany (29 years old). The pair got engaged last year and enjoyed quite a memorable wedding weekend, according to Kirkpatrick’s twitter. “Great weekend with old friends and family! Happiest time of my life! #offthemarket. Best wedding advice from JT, and then partied til 3 AM singing with Joey Read More …
