I send my continued humble apologies to the creators of the iconic NOW series. Their compilations began in 1983. I posted and compiled the first WOW That’s What I Call Mayhem collection back in March 2024. Volumes 2, 3 and 4 followed in August and September. So you must be ready for volume 5, right? I certainly hope so, because here it is! This includes the last 20 singles we reviewed in 2024 in another maniacal eclectic playlist for your listening pleasure! With nearly 70 minutes of music, click the Spotify link below and lose yourself in the music!

“Rabbit Hole” – Forgotten Dream November 11, 2024

According to their Spotify profile, Forgotten Dream is an alternative rock band from a future past. That sounds like some kind of rock star version of the X-Men, right? Another story, although obviously this might be some kind of secret identity thing, says that the band is from Cremona in Italy. Wow, I really went down a rabbit hole there, didn’t I? Speaking of rabbit holes, Forgotten Dream has a new single out, and it is called “Rabbit Hole”. It is heavy punk with a heavy seasoning of grunge and megatons of energy. Maryanne Muse’s voice is haunting, vibrant, and perfect for the psychedelic trip the song and the video take you on. What is a rabbit hole? Maybe a complexly bizarre or difficult state or situation conceived as a hole into which one falls or descends. I believe that Lewis Carroll first used the rabbit hole phrase in his 1865 tale ‘Alice In Wonderland’, “I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole—and yet—and yet—it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!” As far as this track from Forgotten Dream goes I have completely gone down this band’s rabbit hole and it is a magnificent, magical, monumental, mouthwatering, musical world down here! watch the video, listen to the song, and come and join me.
