Old Skool Joint of the Week #7

Damn, did I really let over half a month go by without putting something new up on this blog that no one reads? (I mean, seriously, if you do read it can you leave a comment sometime? It feels so lonely out here. Wait, did that come off as desperate? Yeah, I guess it was pretty desperate. But I ain't apologizing to our non-existent readers anyway). What was I saying? Oh right. New post.

September sure snuck up on me pretty fast. This is usually a pretty sad time of year for me, and this year is especially rough since this is pretty much the last Summer Vacation I'll ever have. Come this time next year, I won't be "on vacation," I'll just be "unemployed." The point is, I'm feeling a more nostalgic than ever and that made it a little hard to pick a song to post up here.

I figured I'd go back to another time I was starting the last of something. In September 1999 I was just starting seventh grade, and you know what was pretty fucking big back during that transitional year of my life? Jennifer Lopez.

So let's all take a few minutes to remember a time before every magazine felt the need to come up with a "clever" nick name for every celebrity couple. Back when obnoxious hair clips, blonde highlights, and big puffy jackets were acceptable. And most importantly, a time when people understood the importance of a fierce dance break in the middle of a song:
