Friday night is music night

Back the wilds of Wyboston, it's Friday night and I'm having an 80's music night. Inspired by some 'Grumpy about the 80s' programme the other day I'm remembering Howard Jones - and find that he's still going strong, and Nik Kershaw sounds absolutely fabulous.

One of Howard's more mysterious songs, Hide And Seek here and a recent version of synthtastic New Song here which makes me want to go to a Rewind/Revival 80s night somewhere.

Howard and Nik with a great version of Wouldn't It Be Good here

Soft Cell in Bedsitter here and now I've remembered the Soft Cell song with the video with the rain outside a cafe window which I really loved: it was Say Hello Wave Goodbye here

Or go really psycho with Talking Heads and Once in a Lifetime here or the Road to Nowhere here or catch the awesome 'suit' in Girlfriend is Better here

Have your own 80s revival via the magic of YouTube :)
