LONG LIVE THE EIGHTIES

...That's the 1980's, not the 1580's, which are pretty much dead and buried. Actually, the research I'm doing this summer is based partially in the 1580's period, but that's neither here nor there. Okay, it's there, but definitely not here. Um.

Oh yeah, my point: http://insuranceandnews.com/ Yes! Hey, stop that. Seriously, don't make that face. If you'd just give it a chance, you'd find out that this site, although it has the most boring name in the history of the internet (even more boring than www.boring.com, which used to be thought impossible), is actually a freaking gold mine of 80's nostalgia. That's because it is a collection of FIFTEEN HUNDRED MUSIC VIDEOS FROM THE NINETEEN EIGHTIES. I'm sorry, but a collection this good requires dramatic use of CAPS LOCK and the SPELLING OUT OF NUMBERS.

It's like a pirate stole the 1980's and buried them at insuranceandnews.com because he knew nobody would ever look there, but then a Space Monkey who comes in peace totally found the copy of the map, dug them up, and spread them all across the world.

Current Highlight: "Down Under," by Men at Work. Not because it's really a great song or anything. No...because it's a POP UP VIDEO. Remember those? Man, those were the days. I love my music videos peppered with inane facts.

Current Disappointment: "Putting on the Ritz," by Taco. Not because it's a crappy song (it's a totally awesome song. Don't fight the Taco.). No...because it doesn't work right now. I hope they fix that, cuz that's a sweet song.

Go now. http://insuranceandnews.com/ And don't thank me...thank the 80's!
