Hey 1980shead, me and some other guys from the site have plans to create a bi-weekly 25 song playlist and send it out as a newsletter on Twitter. All you have to do is submit between 2-4 songs every two weeks. Sometimes you'll be asked to submit requested material but mostly creative freedom. I would love to add you to the team, specially if the 80s are your area of expertise. If interested let me know soon and tell me what era you would like to focus on. My long term goal is to eventually make each release 100% fan requested material. Come right away, join the party ah ah uh, everyday!

Lawdy lawdy do I love me a humid LLR. It was the quintessential Bobby song of the mid 80s IMO. Fire night after night. Wasn't a coincidence Ace never even gave this song a break for more than a tour. He really really likes likes rain and I feel like rain. Here it come a naw!

First '85 Althea I've heard that I decided I want to share with the headyverse. Outro jam is grimy!
