This thread is my guide for what to look for when I pop into the used record store. Listening to this now on vinyl. I miss the 80s, mostly.

Westworld had two Top 40 tunes, but the other two have quite a bit of airplay on YT still.

Had the day off today...er...now yesterday. Spent a chunk of the evening wasting the time away listening an old Alt music playlist I made a few years ago on Spotify. Some of the 80s highlights (or lowlights, depending on POV):

Release a few albums, do some videos and then you're on a soap opera.

With World Series thoughts on the mind..

Didn't remember this was also a story telling video until a few minutes ago.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I listened to these two this morning.

Mariah Carey covered this one two years ago, but she shortened it three minutes. What the hey, 64 days until Christmas; with lyrics in case one wants to sing along.

"Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses (with lyrics and some cool photos) edited out as it was removed by YouTube.
