Comment:
So many great soundtracks to all those classic cheesy 80s movies. "Pretty in Pink" is probably my favorite. "She's Having a Baby," "The Lost Boys," "Some Kind of Wonderful," and "Footloose" are some of my other faves, but there are a bunch of good ones.I had an idea a while back to invent my own 80s soundtrack and worked on it for a bit, but I kinda forgot about it while I did other stuff. Then this weekend I watched part of "Sixteen Candles" and I decided to do finish it.
I imagine the storyline as a bit of a cross between "Sixteen Candles" and "Pretty in Pink", with maybe "Some Kinda Wonderful" thrown in - in other words, the typical John Hughes 80s flick. I don't know exactly... just make it up as you hear the songs.
I can totally imagine these songs being in one of those films. :)
And the cover, I found a random picture of an 80's-looking gal via google and just splashed some paint on it. She's definitely the main character. (And of course, she has a quirky male best friend who dresses funky, is probably gay, and has stellar taste in music!)
Hopefully this will be a fun mix for folks to hear. It's 50.11 total time, 95.4 mb.
Feedback:
awesome and fun - richard hell and soft cell? hmmm - thank you!
real creative idea with some delicious tracks
You make the 80's sound better than they were. Great Holly & the Italians track.
The '80s were great in their own way, just as every other decade was, or currently is. This is a delightful concept with entertaining execution. Now I have to go look for my shoulder pads and hair gel . . .
thanks all for the nice comments :) this was a fun project to do. i'm pleased w/ the way it came out!
A great idea, and some great picks to boot! #3-4,6,&8 being especially good.
my favorite part was the stretch from 3 to 7. I have that Masquerade song on a 7" that I found somewhere for a quarter. It's awesome! glad to see that here; it's perfect for your theme. also loved the My Mine track. a great idea for a mix. everyone in the office enjoyed listening, though I'm the only one to admit it openly.
Richard Hell and Soft Cell are highlights for me here.
I believe I had the same kind of trouble, different gender. Nice mix.
