About Nostalgiaholic


I spend my days chained to a stove as a professional cook. Then come home, cook some more, throw on the Lounge Radio, and relax with Crystal and Toni... Nothing gets me more Nostalgic then food...

I love bad flicks, good wine, cheap thrills, old music, and new spins on classic ideas. Yes, everything Crystal says is true, I'm immature and quite simple, but despite all that I'm convinced people find me charming... oh, and I collect Yixing teapots....

Freeware Is Beautiful

Happy Easter holidays ! I just finished up some yardwork this afternoon and was about to relax with a cold draft Sake when I stumbled onto a video for the Freeware game Jumpman !!! It’s so bloody oldschool, and chill.

Needless to say, I have found a new love.

Where The Wild Things Are

It’s a one-in-a-million moment when nostalgia almost brings me to tears. Spike Jonze (skateboard mogul, and freaky movie auteur) has just finished shooting a live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s legendary children’s book Where The Wild Things Are.
You remember ? The book about Max, the little kid in the grey monster pajamas that sails off to [...]

DVD killed the Video Star

It certainly took a long time for VHS to finally [...]

Their Final Frontier

She is most remembered as Nurse Chapel from the original series, Diana Troi’s party animal mom from The Next Generation, and the ever-pleasing voice of all federation computers. More here. [...]

A New Year - A New Era for Street Fighter

A brand-new year is time for resolutions. OCReMix.com has inspired me to become a Street Fighter master. HADUKEN !!!

In Between The Pages

Remember those X-Ray glasses you ordered from the backside of a tattered ‘ol Warlord comic when you were eleven? You paid half a buck and they didn’t even work! The Comic Vine remember well the golden age of Comic Books and their superhuman abillity to get kids to buy the weirdest stuff.  They have collected [...]

Happy Nostalgic Holidays

No matter what particular holiday you may celebrate (Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Celtic Yule, etc.) ’tis the season to relax with a little rum and a lot of warm memories. I’ve settled into a nice big chair by the fire (okay, so I don’t have a fire) and have spent most of today watching the snow fall [...]

Searching For That Lost Song

You’re all alone, no song title, no artist, just this damn catchy song stuck in your head. What do you do ?

The Vintage Soda

Packaging Of The World has a boss gallery of Vintage Sodas courtesy of the enigmatic Allen.

“I’m very old fashioned and have never liked change. I should have been born in 1936, but wasn’t. I collect old cans, bottles, radios and alot of other stuff.” - Allen
Be sure to nibble on their 1950s Packaging Design set [...]

The 8bits Of Christmas

One of my best-loved/most-linked music collectives has just decked it’s halls with glorious nostalgic lovin. 8bitpeoples.com (who you may remember from our post) has just released a Christmas Album!!! If you ever wondered what “The First Noel” would sound like played through an Atari ST system, wonder no-more… Where’s my Egg Nog?
