Things These Artists Have “Got,” Vol. 1

A lot of good songs over the years seem to have the words "I Got," "I've Got," "We Got," or "We've Got" in their titles. I notice dumb things like this. And what do I do when I notice them? I post a four-part miniseries featuring said songs, of course! Enjoy? ~  JH

“Brand New” Songs, Vol. 1

Seems a bit odd to post a set of "Brand New" Songs on Throwback Thursday. But, fret not – the words "Brand New" only appear in the titles of each song, which in no way means that the songs themselves are "brand new." In fact, well-nigh half of these are genuine "throwbacks." So, don't wrestle with the details like I just did. Simply enjoy!  ~  JH
