Two For Tuesday: April 2, 2024
Looking back to some favorites and deeper cuts ...
I’m a bit late getting out today’s Two For Tuesday list, as I was fighting off either allergies or a cold yesterday, so my morning was spent playing catch up on all the things I couldn’t get done around my running nose and eyes. I’ve painted such a pretty picture, LOL.
It’s Tuesday, but I’m taking today’s Two For playlist in a different direction. We’re looking back today, rather than forward. There’s been a lot of discussion, on Threads, about whether or not we should look forward, rather than backward, with our music selections. My take on the topic is that we can, and should, do both.
There are new finds awaiting us whether we look forward or backward. Today, we’re looking back and I hope you’re reminded of a song you loved, and still love.
Two For Tuesday, Taking A Look Back …
This week’s ten songs offer a look back to the ‘80s and ‘90s. All of the selections are Hart household favorites, with several deeper and novelty cuts to keep things interesting.

Did I remind you of any old favorites. Introduce you to a track you’d somehow missed? I’d love to know! Your comments fuel my fire to keep sharing playlists here and on Threads!
My vote is that we can--and should--look back. New music is great, but that shouldn't come at the expense of erasing your old faves (or the memories attached to them). Case in point, I vivdly remeber buying the cassette single for 'Regina' at Tower Records, who I was with, etc. It also happens to be a good song on an otherwise 'okay' record.
This is so good, and definite evidence of the importance of looking back occasionally. I’d have to say though that more than half of these were new listens to me so looking back in terms of time can also be looking forwards. No idea why I’ve never listened to The Damned. I should have! Even if the songs are not new to you, it would be terrible to never listen to old stuff just because it’s old. What’s the point in loving music if you consign it to the bin after a couple of years?
Inspired now to make a couple of these for myself. Maybe an 80s and 90s and a 2000/2010s. Big challenge to stick to 5 artists and 10 tracks though!
