I got this awesome two-slot casette player, so I can make my own tapes without having to record from the radio! I don't have to worry about the DJ talking over the end of the songs now. I hated that! Gag me with a spoon! Just shut up and let me get the song, ya dweeb!
Anyway, here are some rockin' tunes to listen to on your Walkman...
Thomas Dolby, Hyperactive and She Blinded Me With Science
Herbie Hancock, Rockit
Toto, Africa
Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams
Taco, Puttin' on the Ritz
Murray Head, One Night in Bangcock
Talking Heads, Psycho Killer, Burnin' Down the House
Blondie, Call Me, Dreaming, Rapture, Heart of Glass
Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Relax
Wham!, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Duran Duran... um... all of the music... like... just all of it.
Peter Schilling, Major Tom (no... not Space Oddity by Bowie... This is sort of a re-telling of the same story...)
More to come! This is just off the top of my head. What else should we put on our theoretical Awesome Mix Tape?
(I was 13 in 1982, and I guess the above is a look into my musical tastes in the early 80s. LOL If any of you young whippersnappers reading this are unfamiliar with any of those songs, do yourself a favor and check them out!)

Ugh. Heavy metal... you must be one of my brother's friends... (eyeroll) lol Yeah life at my house in the early 80s had a bizarre clash of musical preferences. There was my parents' country music, my brother's heavy metal, and my New Wave stuff. Anyway, here's an obscure one... Classix Nouveaux, Guilty I only ever saw this video on MtV. None of the record stores I had access to ever had the album or cassette. It wasn't until over 10 years later that I finally found it on CD. The lead singer is a freakin' Nosferatu! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx0CmfpBFi0

Speaking of Motorhead, did you hear that Fast Eddie died today? That sucks. The classic lineup is all gone.

Toni Basil, Hey Micky!
Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Time After Time, All Through the Night, She Bop (err... might as well say ALL of the She's So Unusual album... lol)
Nena, 99 Red Balloons
I know with a few of these I've ventured into the mid-to-late 80s, but I am trying to stick to the very late 70s to 1983 or so. Stuff the Kid characters in the game would have heard on the radio. If we go later, there are SOOOO many more good songs I could suggest!
