Much to the chagrin of music snobs everywhere, the so-called "fad" that washed upon these shores more than a decade ago is still singing its heart out (if a bit off key). A phenom once exclusive to Japan, karaoke is now part of the American office party underbelly with mainstream counterparts in the forms of clubs and special bar nights. Way back in the day, Common Interest said nay to the naysayers and has been going strong, offering the very best of the "empty orchestra" to regulars and the newbies alike. Long may the parrot croon!
