The 80s are a very nostalgic decade for me, seeing how I was born in '81 and all.
I mean, the 80s made me who I am today. The reason why I taught myself how to
play the keys! Besides, I haven't done a retro show in quite a well & synth has always
been my go-to, as far as comfort music goes, and I've been listening to it A LOT lately.
So, let's take a trip back in time when computers really began to take over the music world!

Good stuff Raven 😎
Love this, Raven! The best decade in music if you ask me. The onset of electronic music/new wave, 2nd wave of the "British Invasion". Whatever. So much interesting, weird, off-beat, experimental stuff. Can't beat it. First place I'm going once I get that Tardis I ordered from Amazon... :)
Count me in! I'm SO there! 💜 Then I could meet my younger self! 😳
Haha! Thanks for stobbing by, Porch FM! Always an honor! 😉
Ahhh, teenage memories... Great set!

Listening now while I cook me dinner! Sorry, you're having issues w/Mixcloud too. You might have to message support, like I did, to finally fix the problem. Ugh! Anyway... totally diggin' the show! Thanks again!
oh man it didn't even post my comment...i should've known better than to post a comment on the unsound crap that is their app haha. it said something like i'm reeaaallllyyy digging this episode, and even though it's 80s it's really taking me back to my young 'rave days' in the late 90s! and i wish i could download it (something hearthis allows) for future listens
