Join us as we talk about the most influential songs and CD’s that impacted us to the degree of almost life-changing. From La Villa Strangiato on Rush Chronicles and Coast 103.5, having hours and hours of playlists called “80’s Stories” where memories bombard and overwhelm us, bringing us back in time; music has become the mainstream of our lives both on road trips and date nights with loves long lost. Pop in our podcast, go on a drive until the tank runs out; you’ll be in good company. And listen for a special surprise bonus at the end.

Disturbing music videos from MTV were all the rage in the 80's; particularly from Men without Hats, Dexie's Midnight Runners and anything by Dead or Alive. For the second part of "Crash Landing in the 80's" we discuss MTV and the craze of personal technology like computers, VCR's, cable television and video game consuls. Man, the 80's were glorious.

Landing on the moon was nothing compared to the summer blockbusters, tsunami of jobs grabbed by adolescents, suburbanization of life with retreats to the exciting cities like Ferris, explosion of mall life with multiplex theaters, MTV and personal technology in the 80's. Perhaps sliced bread us up there with this glory, but something special happened in the decade that we love.

Infocom text adventures, floppy disks on green and blue monitors, and Atari 600XL computers were all the rage for one part of our two-dad special we call PopRocks.

Memory Lane just got lit up for the jet cruiser we call nerd mania.

The appeal of fighting against the Kodan Armada or challenging your friends to "Wargames" with Broderick came to us early because of our deep love and electric influence of our first gaming consuls.
