'New Moon Shine'
New Moon Shine, James Taylor's first album of the 90s, was recorded in June 1991 at the Power Station and Skyline Station in New York, A&M Studios in Hollywood and Studio F in Los Angeles. There were a few new faces in the band for this album, with Jimmy Johnson on bass taking over for Leland Sklar, who had left to tour with Phil Collins. Kate Markowitz joined the veteran backing vocal team of Valerie Carter, David Lasley and Arnold McCuller. Michael Landau played electric guitar on the album.

Teen angst a playlist
Hide and seek - Imogen Heap It’s 2005, I’m 15 and it’s the season finale of season 2 of The OC, There’s a struggle between Ryan and his brother, Marissa try’s to break it up with words. Cut to a sound of a gun shot, and the song hide and seek. Dramatic. Teenagers across the country in their lounge rooms crying and singing along hoping Ryan isn’t dead. I continue to play to song on repeat reenacting in my head my own heartbreak patiently waiting for season 3.

Alternative Angst
During my high school days teenagers liked clearly defined categories and placing people in them. In a world where you were either popular or you weren’t, you could be a metalhead or a hip hop head but not both I was a 'blerd' ahead of my time. I had friends from different backgrounds and I didn’t easily fit into one category. My musical tastes were as eclectic as I was and because people couldn’t pigeonhole me I became “that weird black guy”. It wasn’t long before the teasing and ostracising took its toll, causing me to be withdrawn and depressed. With a divorced and overworked mother and shouting siblings, home wasn’t exactly a safe haven either.

Playlist by a 90s gaybie
I never get tired of teasing my mum about the time that she came into my school, all guns blazing, because I'd come home singing Material Girl by Madonna. We'd been doing aerobics moves to it at school, and I loved it. I had no idea what a gold digger "material girl" was, and if it had been chaste prayers that had been set to such a catchy tune I probably would have been singing that too, but alas, my mother was furious.

Five Loser Anthems
Growing up, being emo was never cool. Actually, I stand corrected. It was, but almost exclusively to the teenagers who glamorised its merits. In fact, to us, it was the coolest thing in the world. It was a haven of complete otherness for kids who liked being out of the loop.

My Teen Version ('90s)
When the 90s started, I was 13 and living in a small fishing town on Vancouver Island, Canada. I was in grade eight, my first year of high school, and I was secretly incredibly happy to be back in the same school with my brother, who was in grade 11. He was a senior, he was popular, and he was even a bit famous for his athletic achievements.
