December 15th- An Aughts Adventure!

This week we're diving deep into our music collections of the last ten years. Rewind with us through the decade that was the 2000's. When we awoke on January 1, 2000, at ages 13 and 15 respectively, neither of us ever imaged we'd become just. so. cool. Ten years, two high school diplomas, two college diplomas, ten hair colors, three million hours of listening to music, and 45 failed romances later we're ready to reflect. This Tuesday we'll be playing two hours of our favorites from the last decade in the Lab from 6-8 PM CT. Nothing is off-limits, as long as it was released from 2000-2009 (I'm looking at you, Beyonce).
