Wanna Feel Old Playlist #2
Right! Carrying on with the musical theme this week, this is the second Spotify playlist. This week, we look at the charts from 1994; fifteen years ago. PJ & Duncan, R Kelly, Take That and Green Day. And to think, half of those are in the charts this week. Mental.
Wanna Feel Old Playlist #1
Something that may occur again in the future. If you have Spotify, take 38 minutes out to listen to this lovely playlist. It’s the UK Top Ten from 10 Years Ago. Gabrielle. Shania Twain. Britney Spears. Bewitched. It’s a bit crazy.
If you fancy making a themed playlist to make us all feel old, do email in (at the address on the right) or chat to us via Twitter.

Petra emails me with:
Space Jam was one of my favourite movies growing up; Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan. I used to watch it over and over again.
I recently found my old Space Jam tape…
… and realised it was released 13 years ago. Scary.
Scary indeed.
Just look at Michael Jordan’s face there. Look at it. He doesn’t want to be there. With Bugs Bunny.
In completely unrelated-to-the-internet news, I’ve got myself a new job teaching kids to sing. 14 and under. Most of the kids I teach we not alive during the release of Space Jam. So, well done Petra. You’ve made me feel quite old. It’s impressive to make the admin of a website, designed to make you feel old, feel old. Petrifying.
Shall We Post a Photo of the Original Buffy Cast With Their Ages Next To Them?
Yes. Yes we shall.
So, when Buffy started, Anthony Stewart Head was 42 years old. Buffy has been off the air for six years now. Wait another six years, and Xander, Cordelia and Angel will all be older than the “stuffy professor” Giles was in the first episode.
EDIT: Ed Atlin from wheresmyshoe reminds me that “Angel is already older than Giles in vampire years”. How very droll.
This bollocks was two years ago. Two. Years ago. Doesn’t feel like it, does it? I live in Newcastle. My favourite thing about this was it occurred the week Alan Shearer was signing his new book at the WH Smith next door. People queueing for that reached the end of the shop. People queueing because they were fretting about Northern Rock reached to the end of the street. I felt sorry for Alan Shearer that day.
HAL is eight years overdue.
Reader Beware, You're In For A Scare
Had this emailed to me by Sam…
The children novel series Goosebumps, remember them?…
…Released between 1992 and 1997. I still remember them reading as a kid.
Are you saying Goosebumps started seventeen years ago? Wait, no… are you saying there hasn’t been a Goosebumps book in over 12 years?! I’m not counting the silly “Goosebumps 2000” novel line. They were rubbish.
