Halloween is almost here! Halloween is almost here! Today’s post is dedicated to the ’80s goth experience. There’s lots of music video magic to enjoy (plus a fun project and a snack idea), so get ready to escape.

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…

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!

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!

A Timeless ’80s Playlist

Others may evoke specific memories of the ’80s, but I’m sure you’ll agree that the songs themselves are timeless.

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…

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!
