What’s Your Favorite Oldie?
Tweet
Even in the NYLON office, we can’t always blast indie rock from our desks.
That’s why we have “decade days,” where we play Best Of albums from the ’80s or ’90s – and realize that everyone still knows the words to “Shoop.”
But yesterday, we played some old-school Simon and Garfunkle, and realized there’s a whole world of office music we haven’t explored:
The Oldies.
So send us some suggestions – what should we crank in the NYLON studio?!
