Blast From the Past: The 90's are making a comeback





The 21st century is getting a blast from the past; the 1990’s are making a comeback on our radios, in our closets, and on our TV’s. Boy bands, old and new, can be heard on radio stations. 

Some of these bands making a comeback on the radio waves are straight from the previous generations. Two popular bands created a supergroup and did a 80-show tour around the world. The trend of boy bands never really went away overseas, and with them reemerging in the US, some of those bands are hoping to break into the music scene here.

Spontaneous Boyband
Unlike supergroups or seasoned boy banders from abroad, Spontaneous Boy Band is new on the scene. Spontaneous is a group of young men that write and sing their own music, and choreograph their performances. But this boy band isn’t totally stuck in the 90s. They added the contemporary element of flash mob into their performances to boost it into this century. Band Member Justin Lennox says the reason is marketing.

“We were wondering how are we going to get out name out there? And we thought, let’s take the shows to the people, lets go like at Starbucks, lets go at any restaurant we can find and just sing to everybody there.” 
And that is exactly what they do.

Next Chapter



Well world, I graduated this past weekend. It's pretty crazy to think that I graduated college. Granted, I won't technically be done until the end of July, but still. I walked across the stage. I no longer have to take any classes. I am classified as an alumni.

For the time being, I'm doing an internship at the newspaper here in Athens. I'm doing online things like finding stories from the AP wire, posting them to the website, tweeting and Facebooking them, and things like that. Today was my first day and it was pretty cool. I think I'm going to enjoy it.

But what's next? that's the million dollar question.
