http://expiredmusic.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
After twenty years, it's time to move on. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Say goodbye to The Monkees - 1966-1987. Why does it remind me of laundry day? Because EVERY freaking time I go to the laundromat on Lincoln and Ocean Park either Day Dream Believer, I'm a Believer or Last Train to Clarksville (Believer? Plays on the radio. It's like I'm stuck in some weird Groundhog Day loop that will only come to an end when my wife and I finally buy our own washer/dryer unit. As a kid, Mike was always my favorite and...

Expired Music: October 2011
http://expiredmusic.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
After twenty years, it's time to move on. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. It's over, Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend. Released October 22, 1991 on Zoo Entertainment. Another artist I found thanks to my sister. I seem to remember her just giving me this CD straight up one day.* Or maybe I stole it, I'm not sure. In 2006 he released a Legacy Edition called "Goodfriend" with all remastered tracks from his 1991 album. Feeling reminiscent, I picked it up. Unfortunately, I don't acknowledge remastered tracks of ...For a...

Expired Music: Auf Wiedersehen, U2 - Achtung, Baby
http://expiredmusic.blogspot.com/2011/11/auf-wiedersehen-u2-achtung-baby.html
After twenty years, it's time to move on. Monday, November 21, 2011. Auf Wiedersehen, U2 - Achtung, Baby. Released November 19th, 1991 on Island Records. I'm a couple days late, but U2's "Achtung, Baby" is officially in the Expired pile. One of their most successful albums, "Achtung, Baby" has gone 8 times platinum as of 2009, selling over 5.5 million copies in the States alone. Is it wrong to say that U2 has really only put out two amazing records: "Achtung, Baby" and "Joshua Tree" (exp. '07)? I do, too!

After twenty years, it's time to move on. Saturday, December 31, 2011. The ball's dropped on Live - "Mental Jewelry". Released December 31st, 1991 on Radioactive. Today is the last day of 2011. Starting tomorrow, when I tell people about Expired Music, I'll be saying how I no longer listen to music produced prior to 199 2. I find this extremely exciting. Don't you? Live has released 7 records! Can you name any of their follow up albums? I'm not saying Live's catalog is a must have, I was never really a f...

After twenty years, it's time to move on. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Lata, mon. Bob Marley and the Wailers - Legend. Released May of '84 on Tuff Gong/Island. If you asked me who comes to mind when I think of reggae, I'd say Bob Marley. If you said "yeah, yeah, but besides Bob Marley, who comes to mind." I'd say ".er.um.Bobby McFeren? He's reggae, right? And you'd say "Yeah, sure. He counts. Anyone else? Then, I'd probably frown and say "Nope. That's all I got.". Saturday, April 16, 2011. According to Wik...

Expired Music: July 2011
http://expiredmusic.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
After twenty years, it's time to move on. Monday, July 11, 2011. Go away, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Into the Great Wide Open. Released July, 2nd 1991 on MCA. I don't like Tom Petty. There, I said it. I've always found him and his stupid hat* annoying. (And that's coming from a guy with a pretty ridiculous hat of his own) I don't know if I can really pinpoint what it is about Petty that I dislike, but I'll try. According to Wikipedia, his top hat expired in 1987 when his house burned to the ground.
