Music Monday 1985

And it's a "your choice" week.

Today is a good day to revisit 1985.

I was 25 years old, working my first full time job, moving in to my first real apartment.

And the music I was listening to?

Wham!










A-ha







Huey Lewis





Prince







And Madonna

    All songs I remember well from that period of history! This was around the time I discovered MTV, even though I was 10 years oer so beyond their key demographic...

    Great choices! I love 80's music. I was a sophomore in high school in 1985.

    Robin,

    In 1985, DH & I bought our first new car as a married couple. It was a Toyota Supra. Sport cars always appealed to DH more than me, but I went along for the ride in making the purchase. :D 'BACK TO THE FUTURE' is a such a great 80s film and every time I hear Huey Lewis I think of those old movies. Now, I want to watch that flick! 'Raspberry Beret' was a catchy, fun song and probably my favorite Prince tune. Madonna is another great artist from that decade. Her mewsic dominated the airwaves throughout the 80s. 'LIKE A VIRGIN' is one of many hits by the Queen of Pop. Thanks for putting the groove in my move this morning, my darlin'. Have a boogietastic week! xx

      A Supra? Nice car. “Back to the Future” and it’s two sequels were on tv last weekend. Great films, great times.

    The 80's. Yes! The WHAM song is such a good song to dance to - chair dancing right now! Also listened to a-ha (another fave) and I'll catch the other songs later. 1985 was an interesting year for me. 80's forever! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
