> "Modern Love" by David Bowie, followed closely by "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.

I heard "The Boys of Summer" exactly once - I remember liking it in a strange sort of way, though I remember nothing else about it.

> I love 80's music -- not that other 80's music (see Darien's post) -- I'm talking about music you'd find on The Breakfast Club's or The Wedding Singer's soundtrack. "Tarzan Boy", "Turning Japanese", "I Eat Cannibals", "Mexican Radio"...

I have a friend who is absolutely obsessed with eighties music - though neither the kind I like nor the kind you like. I'm talking about the eighties music done by teenage vocalists with a synthesizer and a rhythm machine - Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, and - God save us all - the New Kids On the Block. I think the closest descriptive I can find is "ghastly."

Dar "They Might Be Midgets" ien
