One day when playing “Rock Band 2” on my PS3 in 2008 the Silversun Pickups entered my world. It’s been part of it ever since.
Dandy Classic Track of the Day #47 – Janet Jackson
“If” by Janet Jackson is my jam! The second single from her sexually liberated ‘janet.’ 1993 this song was mash-up before it was a thing. It rocks AND you can dance your ass of to it.

Dandy Classic Track of the Day – Dawes #37

Dandy Classic Track of the Day #30 – The Stylistics
The Stylistics are 1970’s R & B at it’s finest. They came swinging out-of-the-gate with the timeless “You Are Everything” on their 1971 debut.
