The metal detector just went off

Posted on July 20, 2012 | Comments Off on The metal detector just went off

It’s good to see a metal purist out there creating album art that has no business in today’s music climate. Thank you Sebastian Bach for letting your freak flag fly. Buy it here.

The dawn of hip hop probably involved a 1981 song by Frankie Smith called “Double Dutch Bus.” You can download it here.

Thanks Tim

How much cocaine was around in 1988?

How much cocaine was around in 1988? This video answers that question I think. I had no idea shows like this existed back in the day, but as Best Roof Talk Ever suggested, it might be due for a comeback.

The only jacket I ever wanted as an 80s child

Posted on October 4, 2011 | 2 comments

This is the only jacket I ever wanted to own as a boy during the 1980s. I never did convince my mother to buy me one. I wonder what they cost back then?

Dating life in the 80’s

Posted on May 25, 2011 | 2 comments

If you are single and sad about the lack of options available to you, then maybe you’ll feel better watching some of these video dating snippets from the 1980’s. If you were single in the 80’s and still are now, then I guess I don’t know what to say.
