The Fixx Is In

Some days, you just wish you could be saved by zero...

What's Old Is New, Again

Sometimes, I wonder if Dale Bozzio receives royalty checks from Lady Gaga (to license her image/style/etc.)

Bad Pictures

I'm thinking that bands from the 80s really shouldn't let current pictures of themselves stay up on Last.FM.

Baffling

How is it even possible tha Kajagoogoo aren't still a major touring group. They were an AWESOME example of 80s music. :P

Some Like It Hot

Perhaps the only decent song from The Power Station. Ah... 80s music.

So Happy I Could Kill Myself

I just realized (well, I've probably realized it before), but, even the music I listen to that sounds cheerful really isn't. I love bands like Oingo Boingo, The Smiths, Guadalcanal Diary... So much of their music has this really poppy, hooky, catchy melody. If you don't actually listen to the music, it sounds like fluff. However, when you listen to the words, their songs are so frequently really dark. If you contrast the dark content with the cheery presentation, it makes it even darker.

Fuckin' A!
