It's no secret I am a child of '70s and '80s music. So if you've read me for a while, I use a mucho '80s music and references.
But everything old is new again, right? Go-Gos, Psychedelic Furs and the likes all have new music out. But there are newer bands that are utilizing the genre for their own launch.
I don't know from the Midnight, but they have been playing on 710's Apple Music whist I prep dinner. But their song, "Deep Blue" reeks (in a good way) of mid-80's fare.
I mean, the saxophone alone has 1980s written all over it. Quarterflash. Men at Work. Huey Lewis. It's all there.
Yet it doesn't suck - not that I'm implying the above acts did either. "Deep Blue" is kind of nice escapism to a better time when Ronald Reagan was president.
......yes. marinate on that last sentence just a little bit. This is what the current administration has done to me.
Reminds me of when, MTV played music.
ReplyDeleteA little messy in the chorus, but that sax break is classic. Reminds me a lot of what Calvin Harris was doing for a time. Quarterflash - favorite song was their song on the soundtrack for 'Night Shift' a slim slice of comedy starring Shelly Long and Henry Winkler.
