“Mom, remember that stuff you were tellin’ me about your dreams and doin’ what you want to do? Well, if I really want to be an astronaut and go out in space – and really do that, it’d be ok, right?” – Ben Crandall.
Dear Friends,
Following yet another losing battle against this madhouse that is the 21st century, Brad has decided to strike back and hold an ’80s Party this week.
Had such a groovy time this past weekend dipping into 80s pop classics and Retrowave numbers, so can’t wait to share some of my top picks with you! Therefore, this edition of Manic Music Monday offers a preview of what nostalgic delights lie in store. 🙂
Have recently discovered The Midnight: a group who have really tapped into the sounds and vibes of that decade. This vid exudes such a welcome feelgood quality, includes an amazing assortment of movie clips, and, being a joyous celebration of all-things-80s, it seemed just too cool to hold back.
After last week’s Retro Review of The Goonies this vid is a reminder that Joe Dante’s Explorers (1985) had also passed me by! Have started watching that, so perhaps another Retro Review might be in the works…
Hope you can make it to the party in mid-week. It’ll be lovely to see you!
And – hey! – if Brad is really on the ball, you should be getting the latest Fartlighter Bradventure by the end of this week! 😉
Cheers!
Wolfgang Müller: “Explosions in space? It’s impossible.”
Darren Woods: “What do you mean? You can hardly see the strings.”
This is great! I hadn’t heard of The Midnight, so a special thanks for this one. 🙂
You’re welcome, Danica!
Glad to hear it, and hope u enjoy listening to their other stuff – u will probably hear them again on Bradscribe soon! 🙂
Bless u
[…] you enjoyed the 80s vibes and nostalgia of The Midnight – Explorers you’ll love this […]
Love this video Brad! The 1980s is my favorite decade. Love the music, the movies, the clothes, the big hair…
And the videos, the bikes, the arcade games, the Deely-Bobbers, The Police! 😉 the candy…
Yes, trust Brad to give his friends the stuff they love the most
You’re most welcome! 🙂
