Why I Do This

I was lucky enough to be a teenager through the eighties and I was mad on music, big hair, bad make-up and all that went with being a teenager of the times. All these years later I still have the big hair but now it is "touched" with grey and the bad make-up is gone but the tunes still play loudly in my head and even louder if they grace my radio, tv or mp3player. I will gladly admit to being a"mainstream" fan for the most part but I do have the odd liking for some of the less "played to death" bands of the time. What started all this was a drawer full of slowly decaying cassettes and a fear of losing the music that is on them. So I began to recreate them onto CD and I am loving it and finding some fantastic albums along the way.

I would like to re-dedicate this site to my late husband, he lost his long battle with cancer in 2011, he was a huge 80's fan, possibly even more so than myself. So for you my love.

Facebook Page Up And Running



After much debate with myself I have decided to give a Facebook page for this blog a go. I'm thinking it might be a better way of contact than email as many of you may of noticed, I'm pretty crappy at responding to emails so drop on by and say Gidday here

Big Brother Is Alive And Just A Pain In The Arse

Well it seems that my little blog has found itself on the hit list of blogs being targeted and having posts removed for infringemants. So far I have had several posts removed so until I sort out the what and why's I will not be posting anymore links with my posts.
I'd like to at this point give huge thanks to Dan, AusSound, Ozzmosis and all that have contributed to my little blog as well as to all the readers, your support has been just overwhelming.
So stay tuned.

Did I Mention I Love Making Lists?

I have added 2 new album links tonight and I'd also like to share a new link to another side project I have been working on. I wanted to put up a list of Various Artists Releases that were of course released in Australia ( I'm not ready to take on the rest of the world just yet ). So using what I already own and things that people have generously sent me or that I have been able to obtain through the many blogs/sites I visit I have begun compiling a list. So if your interested take a look and please feel free to let me know of anything that I should add or corrections I need to make. There won't be any download links on the page, it is purely for the information but I will continue to slowly ( roll eyes here ) add links to this main page.
UPDATED 2nd April: Sorry to say but link has been disabled until further notice.
Cheers Meggsy :)
