Playing with the ’80s

by Idaho Dad on November 16, 2011

As if I didn’t have enough to clean up around the house, from cluttered closets to piles of laundry, my computer beeped at me the other day to announce that its hard drive was starting to look like a hoarder’s living room.

So I took an hour to clean out the digital clutter. Most of it went straight into the Recycle Bin, and with one click was trashed forever. Wouldn’t it be nice to do that in real life?

One thing I found was a file that I created several years ago, while learning how to use some long-forgotten free audio software. I took snippets of favorite songs from the 1980s, splicing them together into a patchwork of musical nostalgia.

Take a listen for yourself:

How many ’80s songs can you identify?

I think I got all but 5 of them, that was fun! Interesting decade for music and fashion. I spent most of the 80′s in Army so I had the fashion thing nailed down. Great post, thanks!
