Getter Uppers

I have just noticed that I posted two Madonna videos in a row, am really getting into that 80's mode. And last night I watched a show with a mash up of The Police's Every Move you Make and Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars. It actually sounded good though both songs are grossly and immorally overplayed. And thus my foray into my long lost love of all things 80's.

80's music will get me up no matter how depressed I went to bad last night. The likes of Tears for Fears,The Smiths and the Police may be depressing in essence but somehow they do it for me. I feel like am on another crazy free loving free wheeling planet. That's why I call such songs my getter uppers. The best gift I ever got for my birthday, by the way, was a The Police CD from my lovely friend Asu.

Is there a place I could go where its 80's tunes all the time every-time? I really think I would fit in there: 'Don't think me unkind, words are hard to find, there are only cheques I've left unsigned from the banks of chaos in my mind, and when their eloquence escapes me, their logic ties me up and rapes me'
