I love the 80s. I loved that stupid VH1 show too. Feathered hair cuts, mustaches, aqua net bangs, the NBA, cheesy action films, aerobics and more. But today I celebrate the return of of synth music. Perhaps the greatest musical contribution of the decade. So I had to get more of my theme song and found this song on Soundcloud. It must be experienced or you are dead to me.
OK. That was awesome. But it gets better. Thanks to the link above I discovered a retro synth artist known as Timecop1983. Check it out. Bodaciously radical. Ferris would approve.
While I'm thinking about Time Cop, some of you may remember this was a JCVD film back in the day (Jean Claude Van Dame). Here is a review of Bloodsport that employs a matrix for analyzing all of his films. Its simply brilliant.
5.0 out of 5 stars - The one that put JCVD on the map!

- Does he do a series of flying or 360 kicks? Yes, and nobody dodges them
- Is his enemy unbeatable? Chong Li (Bolo Yeung) holds all the records, has killed people in the tournament, and makes other black belts wet themselves...so, yeah

ok - its been a while since I read this.... but seriously, when did you ever NOT have an affinity for all things 80s....???
Stranger things was an obession because I have ALWAYS cherished the 80s. Like Snape and Lilly. Its that deep and intense. Sort of.
"After all this time?" "Always."
Man alive. Speaking of time, I might need to find a new way to alert me to your horcrux updates because I'm in Feedly fairly infrequently, these days.
