This week we dive into a Vinny specialty - the 90s. His playlist is an eclectic musical experience of the best hits of the 1990s. Think of it as one of those late night TV ads you'd see selling you a "Best of the 90s" CD collection for only one low price of $29.95.

Check out the album! Tell us your thoughts!

Pull out the flannel, grow out the beards, and pop open an PBR because we're here to talk about our nostalgia for the towns we grew up in. This week, we reminisce about the college days, the bars we used to frequent, and try to define what Mikey calls "Vinny Punk."
