The Tortured Poets Department is officially a toddler today. Released two years ago, the album is busy getting into all sorts of things around the house. Hopefully you've got things baby-proofed!

I’m so VERY excited for this month’s episode of Formative Media… hitting podcast feeds Tues, April 21!

Let's Dance was David Bowie's 15th studio album. Released today 43-years ago and still as great as it ever was!

Ah... back when games with the same name would be totally different depending on which platform you played it on. Batman Returns on SNES absolutely SLAPS. Batman Returns on Genesis... is also a video a game.

Tracy Chapman's debut album released today back in 1988. Recorded in just 8 weeks, and including the break-out single, "Fast Car," calling this album formative would still be selling it short.

What's your favorite video game from Rare? GoldenEye? Conker? Killer Instinct? Sea of Thieves, maybe? What about Beetlejuice, released for the NES in 1991? Beetlejuice the movie, came out today waaaaay back in 1988. Don't worry though, we won't say Beetlejuice three times... oh, wait...
