Here is video of contestants entering the ring in 1949 to have a go at blindfold boxing. It’s pretty fun to watch, kinda like watching drunk people fight.

This morning on twitter, the trending topic was #throwbacksongs. Scrolling through, I noticed most of them were hip-hop. It reminded me of the hit “Pony” from Ginuwine. In case you are wondering, the song isn’t about a Pony. The song must have helped in the bedroom too. He has 8 children.
Pony was released as a single from his first LP, Ginuwine…The Bachelor, in 1996. Watch the video below. Buy the song here.
The band Far has a nice rock cover of this song too.

The couple pictured here are contestants in a marathon dance, one of the many crazes the public eagerly took up during the 1920s. (via)
One of the most under-appreciated bands of the 90s has to be Grant Lee Buffalo. Grant Lee Buffalo was a rock band based in Los Angeles, California, consisting of Grant-Lee Phillips (vocals and guitar), Paul Kimble (bass) and Joey Peters (drums).
My favorite song from the group is “Mockingbirds” from the Mighty Joe Moon album released in (1994).
They toured with major bands during the 90s including R.E.M., Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, and The Cranberries.
The band has parted ways, but Grant-Lee Phillips continues a solo career. Paul Kimble talks about how the music industry and label prevented their sound from hitting the airwaves. A lot of thoughtful modern rock suffered under similar circumstances. It marked the beginning of the end for many.
Buy this song here.

School of Fish was an alternative rock band which formed in 1989 and disbanded in 1994. Their self-titled debut was released in March 1991, followed by their first single, “Three Strange Days.” You can buy it here.
This song is timeless to me and brings me back to a perfect time of my youth.
I only recently learned that singer Josh Clayton-Felt died on January 19, 2000 at 32 of testicular cancer. Sad.
Guitarist Michael Ward went on to play with John Hiatt and eventually became a member of The Wallflowers.
Enjoy the trip back to 1991.
