IT'S THE EIGHTIES!!!! Shut up....it is...

Well at least here and now in this moment and on this mofo blog. Yup I got ya some eighties tracks here...bitchin'! I'm gonna recommend some stellar eighties movies for ya too! It's like Christmas again (or some other non-denominational holiday where you get cool stuff).

So, here's your playlist  and here are your recommended 80's movies, watch the movies then listen to the playlist 'cause I snuck some songs off the movies for ya:

1. Real Genius this f'awesome 80's movie features a young, eccentric Val Kilmer at a school for gifted minds...wackiness ensues (of course). Jammin'

2.  The Monster Squad  a bunch of kids battling Dracula, his brides (yeah I typed plural), a werewolf and some other untoward ish. Awww poor Phoebe *emoticon of a teardrop* This movie is AMAZING.

3. A Nightmare on Elm Street (the original) few movies at the time were scarier and more inventive than this one. It's still one of the creepiest ideas I can think of. We've all got to sleep sometime, maybe watch this one in the daylight hours. (and yes, okay fine for a young Johnny Depp) aside: look out for some parallels between this movie and Scream, (same director) the physical similarities between Billy Loomis and Glen Lantz are also worth noting.

4. Heathers before Mean Girls there was Heathers and never a more accurate or frightening description of the bitchiest girls in school and with a stellar cast including Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannen Doherty. Excellent (you'll have to hunt for this one as I couldn't find a link)

5. Gleaming the Cube Later (I mean a decade later) renamed "A Brother's Justice" for no discernible reason. Anyway it's a skateboarding movie starring Christian Slater and yes, it's awesome. There's a chance to see some action by Tony Hawk as well. (you can try and find a better quality vid out there, hit me up if you do)

And that concludes our happy (partly) foray into the 80's. Gotta book! L8ergram kittens!
