< OMG, OMD

~superfxchip

If I could add onto this, OMD's hit "Enola Gay" and their eponymous LP's opener "Bunker Soldiers" are some of the greatest tracks to groove to. I'd love to spin 'em in a mix sometime. For extra measure, I'll also throw in " 583" by New Order, and Sigue Sigue Sputnik's "Love Missile F1-11" to dive this all deeper within the depths of this whole 80s saturated neon confetti occasion

ah, Sigue Sigue Sputnik - a band/artist(?) I've likely heard many times before, but never searched him/her/them(?) out in any deliberate fashion.

I will peep out OMD's "Enola Gay" in just a bit here :) In the meantime, "If You Leave" found a spot on my go-to Tidal playlist next to The Smiths "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me".

The Smiths track is something that is more appropriate to spin when The Midnight is being swept and cleaned after a Roadhouse-like bar party, where anything goes.

For such a debauchery-fueled occasion, I would queue up songs from my "hair rockers" playlist onto the M.p jukebox. Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Skid Row, and a smattering of other ones occupy *that* anthem-centric lineup.

Drinks are on me, ~superfxchip!

And ~bartender, if I could get a black coffee, it'd be much appreciated :) Though cracking open an Ecto-cooler or having a pour of a TMNT slurpee would likely trigger the proper nostalgia neurons to make me feel as though I were ACTUALLY in the 1980s, haha!

Stay well, all! :)
