swehI have a lot of 80s compilation DVDs.
Last week a song from a band called "Red Box" rotated via random play. It reminded me; last time this song showed up I wanted to see what else they did. Turns out I had 2 songs from them ("For America" and "Lean On Me") and I really liked both. Hmm, it's possibly this stuff had been tagged as "world music" originally, so I had skipped them. But since I like these two songs, let's hit Amazon. Oh! Their stuff has been re-released. Let's get their first album (re-release, with extras etc etc).
Funny; the first CD I've bought in years... and it's a re-release of an 80s album.
CD arrives; rip it, add to iTunes, add to my phone.
As is my habit, I put the CD onto "repeat play" and this is the only album I've listened to for 2 days. And, yes, I like it. Even the poorer songs are listenable. It's achieved "background music track" in my mind pretty quickly.
Yup, I think I like 80s music!
