Time to get in the way, way back machine and go back to that time of innocence and optimism. It's time to party like it's 1999.

You know who wasn't partying in 1999? Brintey Spears! Oh, I mean, she probably did some PG partying in those days, but not on GRAMMY night. No, on music's biggest night, Britney was laid up at the house with a dinged-up leg.

So, if you're Britney Spears, and you're missing out on the GRAMMYs, what do you do? Throw a pity party? Nope! You invite your girls from the since-lost-to-history girl group Innosense, and you have a GRAMMY-watching party.

The PJ's go on and the junk food comes out. Important question: what was Britney's fave junk food? Awesome answer: "Cheeetooos and Doriiiiitoooos!" Too cute. And it gets cuter: the girls go on to do a really great version of Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" when Hill wins for Best New Artist.

Enjoy this trip down GRAMMY (and snack food) memory lane.

Charley Paige is a New York City singer-songwriter garnering a lot of buzz -- in addition to her devoted following -- by playing stirring shows at legendary NYC clubs like The Bitter End and Nuyorican Cafe.

On record, however, Paige imbues her singer-songwriter material with lush flourishes of pop and soul production. On songs like "Letting Go" her sure-handed arrangements call to mind Purple Rain-era Prince, while her ballad, "Forgive And Forget," which features the acerbic kiss off, "congratulations, we're on a permanent vacation," could have been a Mariah Carey classic.

MTV Iggy caught up with the constantly-gigging Paige to find out more. In the below video interview, Paige talks about the big advantages to playing small venues, the man who who's (unwittingly) acted as her muse, the influence of Lauryn Hill on her music, and much more.

Check out the interview, as well as two lovely acoustic performances of "Letting Go" and "Forgive And Forget," below.
