JANUARY 18, 2017 From: kenneth in the (212) This typewritten Blondie fact sheet popped up on Facebook over the weekend, complete with Chris Stein weighing in on what became of some of the originals listed here. After marveling at how adorable it was -- they played at Kenny's Castaways! -- I was further charmed by this adorable version of "Heatwave," recorded in 1975 at CBGB's!

Song of the Day: 'Foolish Beat' by Debbie Gibson

DECEMBER 28, 2016 From: kenneth in the (212) Not unlike Sheena Easton, a friend tells me Debbie Gibson shies away from her own material while performing live, opting instead to cover show tunes and classics. Why either of them would do this -- especially when you wrote as many good songs as Debbie did during her electric youth -- is entirely beyond me. "Foolish Beat" was the fifth(!) single off her debut album, "Out of the Blue," and the only one to top the charts.

DECEMBER 23, 2016 From: kenneth in the (212) Won't be long before this joins everyone's list of best modern-day Christmas songs. Great list, especially Numbers 1, 3, 5 and 6. I'd make room for Tracey,  "2000 Miles" by the Pretenders, "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl and "25 December" by Everything but the Girl. What about you?
