All right, friends and neighbors, here it is. The Sweeping Change. The
Star Time Gambit. Shaft's Big Score. With this episode,
Star Time officially adds the 1990s into its music selection, including hip hop. While this messes with the DNA, we'll still employ our 6-year strategy of highlighting obscure and forgotten tracks over the big smash hits (go find that Bernadette Cooper solo album on your lunch break). And mainly for insurance purposes, we won't load up on too much New Jack Swing. Feel free to post your results.
