Spotiforgotten: Holly & The Italians "The Right to be Italian"

  Welcome to Spotiforgotten. Here I will cover great music that is sadly unavailable to stream on Spotify (or Apple, which has a nearly identical library)


   I know very little about modern music. I couldn't tell you what the kids are listening to today or what is currently topping the charts. It holds no appeal to me, partially due to lacking one essential quality: Fun. It's not fun to listen to or to discuss. This record is a whole lot of fun. Teen angst shouldn't only be Cobain-esque despair and self-debasement. Sometimes you need to get out of your dark room and go cruising. Drive up and down the same drag and see who else is out. Grab some soda pops and french fries and chase around some cute boys or girls. Call your friends up on the phone and gossip a little before heading to the all-night diner for coffee and cigarettes until the manager kicks you out. Head to the point for some making out and heavy petting in your mom's backseat. You will thank yourself later for living a little and having some good old fashioned fun.
