1. Chic, " Good Times ." Bernard Edwards' most lasting contribution to the music world: the bass line to this song. 2. The B-52's, " 52 Girls ." I was picking out music at a party around the time this album came out, and I thought to play "Rock Lobster." A woman I didn't know pushed me out of the way and put on "52 Girls." She was right. The video shows the bad v.early in their career. 3....

The Mystery Jets' latest video is unbelievably '80s, I feel like I'm watching the Boomtown Rats except the music is better.

Sure, The Boomtown Rats' I Don't Like Mondays is one of our favorite songs but this coming Monday, April 28 is too special to not like as Futuremark will be releasing 3DMark Vantage . The new testing tool is set to lots of nice new obstacle courses for our systems to fail miserably in so one point of interest at this point would be how well some 'new' generations cards will perform in it. To help out...

I only have three chairs in the house: one for the wife, one...

My eye on the sky The Sun in the late degrees of Pisces now squares Pluto in the early degrees of Capricorn and Mars will be in play to form a T-square soon enough. Translated, the plot thickens. People with planets at the late degrees of the Mutable signs (Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces) or early degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) can expect a difficult week so whatever...
