In the midst of recording their new album, local fuzz rockers Apteka took the time to hilariously butcher a mid-90s classic only to those who grew up in the mid-90s (uh, that would be me). Check out a video of Apteka "covering" Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars."
If it seems like it has been awhile since I've put one of these "from the nineties" things together, it has.

So here in the spirit of ushering the new year, I present to you, my entire collection of tracks from Empire Records I have managed to find over the years. [...]
Christmas tunes are a bit of a fetish for me. Why? Well, I suppose it all started when my wife and I were put in charge of the Christmas music for the in-law Christmas party a few years ago. As I recall, we weren't married yet - still a few months off from being engaged really, but we got our task and went about it.
