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)
