In an 80s Mood
Feeling somewhat 80s, a bit excessive, and not very wordy, so without further blahblah, here are a lot of songs from the 80s... movie screening tonight, so a return to wordiness for the review, if not sooner...
Arcadia - Election Day (from Beat of the 80's Vol. 1)
Flying Lizards - Money (That's What I Want) (from Just Can't Get Enough - New Wave Hits of the 80s Vol. 1)
The Mighty Lemon Drops - Inside Out (from World Without End)
Bryan Ferry - Slave to Love (from More Than This: The Best Of Bryan Ferry And Roxy Music)
Oingo Boingo - Not My Slave (from Boi-ngo. Oingo Boingo used to play Halloween concerts in L.A. so it seems appropriate for a music blogger 'round these parts to post Oingo Boingo at this time of year. Even though I never went to an Oingo Boingo concert, let alone one of the Halloween ones. I liked them though!)
Oingo Boingo - Wild Sex (In the Working Class) (from Nothing to Fear)
Go West - Call Me (from Aces and Kings: The Best of Go West)
Kraftwerk - The Telephone Call (from Electric Cafe)
The Call - The Walls Came Down (from Just Can't Get Enough - New Wave Hits of the 80s Vol. 10)

Most of these files are gone... any chance you might re-post them? :-)
Yikes, I'll say I was feeling a "bit excessive"; I can't believe how many songs I posted at once! :) Good stuff though; I love 80s new wave/alt-rock.
OK, I've re-uploaded a dozen songs so far (to sendspace), and I'll upload more later. I'm toasting the "MP3" in front of the song names as I update the links so that should make it easy to quickly see which links are fresh. Enjoy!
