Join hosts Eva Crowe and DJ Blokzyl as they dive into the vibrant Creative Coffee Cafe community in this week's episode of Inks and Lattes. They kick things off by spotlighting an upcoming release from CCC member Jay Hudson. His new book, "Vows I Wrote but Never Got to Say," a poignant collection of poems about marriage and loss, is now available for pre-sale on Amazon and set to release on October 20, 2024. This heartfelt collection delves into the forgotten vows left behind from a broken engagement, weaving through moments of love, loss, and longing.

Eva and DJ also highlight some fantastic offerings from community members, including Aster's Mystic Bedhead's charming tiny art pieces available on Ko-Fi, and Luna Wolf Wyoming Designs' stunning tumblers and mugs. Special mention goes to the exclusive Dripping Creativity tumbler, with 15% of sales supporting the Creative Coffee Cafe.

The episode then dives into an engaging discussion on "One Hit Wonders." Eva and DJ explore the phenomenon of artists who achieve massive success with a single song, only to fade from the spotlight. They reminisce about iconic one-hit wonders like Warrant's "Cherry Pie," Semisonic's "Closing Time," and Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5," discussing the cultural impact and lasting legacy of these memorable tracks. They also delve into bands that are often mislabeled as one-hit wonders, such as Yellowcard and Jimmy Eat World, who have extensive catalogs of great music beyond their most famous hits.

As always, they wrap up with their weekly picks. DJ highlights AWOLNATION, known for their viral hit "Sail," but with a catalog full of energetic and driving tracks. Eva chooses Yellowcard, celebrating their unique sound and the lasting appeal of their music beyond the hit "Ocean Avenue."
