YouTube seems to be a good source for music videos these days. Along with the song-parody videos I’ve written about elsewhere, there’s also a wealth of music from way back.
DDMD posted a link to a concert video from the late 70s, and that got me thinking about some of the songs I liked “way back.” (To my amusement, despite being a few years older than DDMD, my nostalgia music comes from a decade later.) I’m not exactly certain when “Men at Work” hit big in the US, only that it was the early to mid eighties.
Twenty-some years later, “It’s a Mistake” seems to have held up pretty well and seems quite relevant given what’s going on in the world.
Ah, for the days when MTV played music… 🙂
Ditto “Life During Wartime” (Talking Heads-1979) and “New York Minute” (Don Henley-1990).
Perhaps age has frozen in time my musical tastes, but jeez Louise, what happened during the nineties to kill off pop music?
