Sorry for the delayed delay

Those responsible for delaying the delay have been sacked. ;-)

Seriously, we had a (very unexpected) death in the family. I should be getting things live this week, but in the meantime.....

As Wil Wheaton says, what's the point in having a blog if you cann't be goofy sometimes? In the true spirit of Monkeys from Mars I present the most 80's of 80's videos (aka - my top 10 cheezy 80's vids - originally in no particular order, but really - they just keep getting more esoteric and/or twisted as I go - you know you love it):


#1 - Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love


#2 - George Clinton - Atomic Dog



A double dose of Adam (and the) Ant(s)


#3 - Goody Two Shoes (cause ya know - we get him shirtless at the beginning)


#4 - Puss 'N Boots (you know you can't get enough of those sleeve cuffs!!!)


#5 - Falco - Rock Me Amadeus (complete with TBS "Night Tracks" lead in)


#6 - Art of Noise (feat. Max Headroom) - Paranoimia


#7 - Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive (don't even try to tell me this didn't wig you out as a kid)


#8 - Laurie Anderson - Language is a Virus


#9 - Lou Reed - No Money Down (ok, forget Hyperactive - this one twisted me for life)


#10 - Madness - House of Fun - from their guest appearance on "The Young Ones" - a song about a 16 year old trying (and failing) to buy his first condom sung on one of my fave BBC shows ever


But you see, this list, it goes to 11 - And even though there isn't an actual video for it - from 1984 - Steve Vai - Little Green Men

(and in the spirit of those who have passed - that last one was for you, Ross)

Slight delay

Sorry for the delay - it looks like the primo shopping time on Etsy is Monday evenings. It makes the most sense for me to hold off listing my new items and opening the store until the peak shopping moments. Newly listed items show up on the Etsy home page and any boost I gan get will help. 

GRAND OPENING 7:00PM 11/3/08!

See you soon!!!!!!!
