Comment:

Another mix for driving to and from work, as the radio station situation here is pretty dire.
A mix of 80's songs. Most of these are favourites that I just don't hear all that often.

As is the case with many an 80s mix, there are a few great songs here and a few songs I'd rather be locked in a closet with Sarah Palin discussing the economy than have to ever hear again. The Replacements, XTC, Cure, and R.E.M. in the former category, Van Halen, Billy Idol, and most of all Olivia Newton John in the latter. Very, very cool to see a Dreams So Real song on a mix.

Sounds like something the radio really would play. Remember when?

I like your XTC, REM, and Talking Heads picks. :)
