Remember the mid-90s?
I was listening to a HUGE 90s spotify playlist (I'm almost done with Part 1 and it only took me about two weeks!) and I heard the song Girls and Boys by Blur. This reminded me that Blur is/was a band, and they had some catchy tunes.

So I came to the realization that I don't hate the Eagles as much as I thought and I also realized that Joe Walsh and Glenn Frey were total dreamboats.
I INTRODUCE TO YOU, THE LATEST ADDITION TO KNICKNACKERY:
