Goodbye Seventies

[cyrano]

For those looking for a quick and cheap holiday gift for me, or looking to get rid of some CDs on the cheap, I'm working on patching holes in my '80s music collection and have at least identified the following bits that either started out on vinyl or cassette and never got upgraded or (say, in the case of Flock of Seagulls) I'd heard it so bloody often as a teenager that I never actually bought it but now I have enough distance that I might want to listen to it again.

Culture Club--Church of the Poison Mind
Flock of Seagulls--Space Age Love Song
Maxwell--Somebody's Watching Me
Sly Fox--Let's Go All the Way
Thompson Twins--Anything from the Into the Gap LP
Kajagoogoo--Too Shy
Alphaville--Forever Young
Taco--Singing in the Rain
Loverboy, Foreigner, that kind of thing

Or if there are other '80s suggestions you have, CDs laying about that you're looking to get rid of and think I might not have, let me know. (:
And if you think this gives you an idea of what the '80s mix disc will sound like, then baby you've another think coming.

Oh and PS: I heart This Modern World.

I think you mean Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me". :-) I've sent you follow-up e-mail...

I can definitely help you out with Kajagoogoo and Culture Club. Actually, you want to just stop over sometime this week and go through my collection? You're welcome to borrow anything you like and I've got a lot of 80's stuff.

I have a bunch of 80's stuff too, including a Billboard top 10 collection from 85-89. I think you're coming to turkey day? If not, I'll try to come up with a list for you and you can peruse :)

I've got a twelve hour shift on Thursday, so (much like Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp) I'm not going anywhere. q:
