MA-110 - It Was Exiled from the 1980s

From henceforth, thou art BANISHED!

So saith the antimusical demon.

I saith that these are the goods:

01 - Love on Atari - Sharon   1983  (3:00)
02 - Words Fail Me - The Sound   1980  (2:58)

15 - Never Wear Mascara (When You Love a Married Man) - The Hank Wangford Band   1985  (3:23)
16 - Real World - Beyond Words   1986  (4:11)
17 - On Tape - The Pooh Sticks   1988  (2:38)

21 - Video Queen - Afraid of Mice   1981  (3:01)
22 - Middle Class Rebel - Void!   1982  (3:29)
23 - The Plastic Age - The Buggles   1980  (5:06)
24 - Time Is Running Out - Doppler Effect   1984  (2:50)

And there's some boffo music on here, too.  I want to quote Track 5 all the time.  Track 14 is one I love to spring on the (grand)kids.  Everybody's got 'em!  And Track 15 is an absolute hoot, even if a bit countrified and twangy.  Track 17 represents the threat which home taping poses to the world economy.  Track 18 is the embodiment of every adolescent's inchoate yearning for the opposite sex.  Look up the title of Track 20; it was a drug which early experiments suggested *might* aid in memory retention.

And on the wonderful music goes!
