An ’80s Halloween Music Video Playlist

October 22, 2018 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Halloween season, Everyone! Since we’re a little over a week out from the big day, I thought it was time to update the ’80s Halloween playlist I created two years ago. While this collection of music videos leans New Wave and a bit goth, there’s a little something for everyone in the mix…

A Back-to-School Playlist

September 10, 2018 by Kate 1 Comment

It’s back-to-school season… The good news: you’re never too old to revel in the magic of ’80s campus movies! Everyone went back to school in the Decade of Decadence. Whether you were a spazz, a dork, a geek, or Rodney Dangerfield, you had a shot.

Disco Chic with Iconique!

May 15, 2018 by Kate Leave a Comment

Today’s post was inspired by Iconique’s latest video for their self-titled disco track, “Iconique”!! If you’re not singing within the next five minutes, you haven’t watched the video! We’re talking about a heavy dose of ’70s/’80s style here, so keep reading as we explore a wonderfully creative, neon take on disco.

A Timeless ’80s Playlist

May 24, 2017 by Kate 5 Comments

That was an ’80s video?! You may ask this very question after viewing some of the selections on today’s playlist. Others may evoke specific memories of the ’80s, but I’m sure you’ll agree that the songs themselves are timeless. I’ve been thinking about this playlist for quite some time, collecting tracks that could hold up today alongside current tunes…

A Music Video Playlist: City Nights

January 10, 2017 by Kate 2 Comments

Today we’re taking it to the streets! The ’80s city streets at night, that is. I’ve put together a music video playlist featuring after-dark city settings, so get ready to roam with Pat Benatar, hop on a motorcycle with INXS, and decorate a mannequin-filled store window with Quarterflash.

A Sophisti-pop Playlist

December 12, 2016 by Kate 6 Comments

Get ready for some smooth tunes! Today I’m sharing an ’80s/’90s Sophisti-pop playlist. The genre originated in the UK in the mid-1980s, combining elements of jazz, pop and soul. Yet some use the term “Sophisti-pop” to encompass a range of musical selections with a sleek, polished feel…

A Festive Party Playlist

The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming! Maybe you’re reveling in the process of hosting your first Thanksgiving. Or maybe you’re counting down the days until a sparkling New Year’s Eve. As the weather gets colder and we hunker down for the holidays, here’s a little party playlist to lighten everything up…

An ’80s Halloween Playlist

October 30, 2016 by Kate 1 Comment

Tomorrow is October 31st! What has everyone been up to this weekend? I’ve put together a YouTube Halloween playlist filled with spooky ’80s songs. When possible, I included music videos, so enjoy the retro visuals, or just let the tracks play in the background while you work or visit with friends. Wishing you and yours a righteous Halloween!

A New Romantic Fall Feast

October 18, 2016 by Kate 2 Comments

Ready for a little bit of decadence? Using INXS’ music video for “The One Thing” as inspiration, I’ve created a New Romantic tablescape that’s fit for a fall feast! Keep reading for details and photos…

Favorite ’80s Screen Shots

May 4, 2016 by Kate Leave a Comment

If I were being obnoxiously blatant about creating a blog post that would go viral on social media, the title of today’s piece would be “You won’t believe these ridiculous ’80s screen shots that will make your jaw drop.” But I’ll spare you the tacky title and instead just promise lots of ’80s fun if you keep scrolling down…
