THE PENGUIN AWARDS FOR 1989?!?!? The Penguin Awards didn't exist in 1989. But just for fun I was wondering what would've been nominated . . . and what would've won. Nowadays, with a handy dandy ipod, one can ask to see all the songs from 1989 -- and that's just what I did. This gave me what I think I would've nominated way back in 1989. And notice there's no "Batdance". So here they are. . .what do you think would win for song of the year???

Hey, can we label these under Cerpts that live in the past?
closer to fine. . . bitches!
The contrast is amazing, isn't it? Just think how tough it is for me to come up with nominees and winners today when, back in the day, we were literally drowning in audio riches! And yes, that's a pretty good idea to label these "cerpts that live in the past" -- however, I think that practically 99% of everything ON this blog lives in the past!!!
Hmmm...two votes for Closer to Fine. . .
