![]() I’m sick, tired and it’s been a long week. This site has not turned into an Underworld fan page, it’s just what I had easily available at the moment. Posted in B-sides, Flock Of Seagulls, Fluke, Heaven 17, remixes | 1 Comment » I know it kind of shits on the 80s theme I had going, but like I said before, I wanted to put up at least one song in tonight’s post that I actually liked. This is the b-side to “Absurd.” I think it was inspired by weed. I would say its safer than uncut cocaine, but I don’t want to make that claim since there probably haven’t been studies showing the long-term damage that can result from extended use of Heaven 17 megamixes. It’s like Heaven 17 concentrate! It’s the Colombian cocaine of Heaven 17 songs, pure and uncut. But hey, if you do, you’ll probably dig this. I’ve officially given up on trying to like Heaven 17. This is a mix that combines approximately 80 billion Heaven 17 songs, including “Crushed by the Wheels of Industry” and…other Heaven 17 songs. It’s from their latter years (1985) and certainly lacks the futuristic, crazy out-there sound of “I Ran” and “Space Age Love Song.” It sounds like a generic new wave song from the late-80s, so at least you can say they were ahead of their time in delivering that. Then I realized that I had no jokes about it, aside from a pun that described the haircuts as “Locks of Seagulls,” but I’m better than that…at least I think I am.Īs Flock of Seagulls singles go, this is pretty minor. But then I realized that’s all I really know about the group. I came into this post determined not to make a joke about Flock of Seagulls haircuts. ![]() Who’s that Girl (She’s Got It) (Instrumental Version) Who’s that Girl (She’s Got It) (7″ Version) Who’s that Girl (She’s Got It) (Extended Version) If you answered no to all of those questions, it’s okay, you can still download these songs. Have you bought any of their super-crazy limited edition releases? If so, I’d love to hear from you. Hit me up.ĭid you say no to all those questions? Okay, then do you like Joyful Noise Records? They’re an indie label that specializes in vinyl and cassette tape releases. If you can answer yes to that last question (and probably the first three as well) then I would love to speak to you. I’m working on a few articles at the moment, and I’m looking for some people to interview.ĭo you like video games? Do you like vinyl? Do you like video game soundtracks on vinyl? Have you bought a video game soundtrack on vinyl. And I’m certain that some people out there really want songs, so I’m happy to oblige.Īre there any people out there who want to oblige me? But what can I say? I’m a man of the people. Push it real good.I think I only really like one of the songs in tonight’s post. Put this mix tape in the boombox, pump up the volume, and hit play. But every one is a brilliant tune, and each one is part of the unsolvable Rubik’s Cube that is Hair Decade pop. Many are songs you remember some you desperately try to forget. Others make people run and scream in terror. You hear them at weddings, parties, clubs, the karaoke bar. Some of these Eighties songs remain famous around the world. But just one song per artist, or half the list would be Prince. There’s Chicago house, Detroit techno, Miami freestyle, D.C. There’s new rebel voices that expoded out of nowhere. There’s all-time legends and one-hit wonders. A mix tape of pop classics, rockers, rappers, soul divas, new wavers, disco jams, country twangers, punk ragers, dance-floor anthems, smooth operators, and karaoke room-clearers. The hits, the deep cuts, the fan favorites. So let’s break it down: the 200 best songs of the Eighties, music’s most insane decade. Do you know where you are? You’re in the Eighties, baby. Hip-hop takes over as the voice of young America. ![]() Not to mention massive stars: Prince, Madonna, Michael, Bruce, Janet, Sade, Cher. It’s got big hair, big drums, big shoulder pads. The Eighties are one of the weirdest eras ever for music.
