Found a load of 80s/90s mix tapes recently when I was having a clear out.

Now working my way through them.

At risk of sounding like Alan Partridge... got to have some A-Ha on your 80s mix tape.

Also Pet Shop Boys, Simply Red, Fairground Attraction, Erasure, Kim Wilde (one of my first crushes - her and strangely enough Sue Lawley) haha...

Younger me lovingly made sleeves cut out from The Face magazine for the cases, but no track listings so every tape is a big surprise.

Those of us who grew up in the 80s can honestly say we had the best music of our generation, how it influenced music moving forward and the fact some groups and musicians we grew up with are still performing.

I've had this problem, primarily with the song If I Had a Hammer. I'm willing to bet pretty much everyone who's ever sung that song did actually have a hammer. Plus there's nothing about what to do between the morning and evening hammering. I don't think they thought it through...

That's reminded me of a classic Never Mind The Buzzcocks moment where the late and great Sean Hughes questioned Haircut 100's "Love Plus One" and the line "Where do we go from here, is it down the lake I fear" and asked how you could be frightened of a specific lake

Perfect Skin by Lloyd Cole is one of my favourite songs of all time.

He used to change the last line to "we need another government" when singing it live, when I was young, radical and anti-Thatch.

Yes, thatched roofs are hard to insure and are a fire risk, I can see why Mr Cole took against them

His next single after Perfect Skin was Forest Fire, so you may be onto something.

I was so impressed too, I thought he was anti-Tory. I feel robbed.

I love it how diving back into your past brings up so many memories of when you were young and hadn’t a care in the world! Strangely this next one reminds me of a girlfriend I once had who was tragically killed in a road traffic accident in 1990 and at the same time my most enjoyable Fab meet to date..!
