Eighties Energy!

Music is everything!
(Okay, almost everything?)

Some have sung that it is the doctor of our souls...
Others just use it most effectively to soothe our souls and fill up their bank accounts!

No group of artists have done both at the same time as impressively as the ones from the blessed decade of the 1980s!

And so, being one of those blessed souls that was privileged enough to have been there whenever each and every single one of those TRUE greats belted out their latest musical concoctions FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME EVER; I simply had to put together a little something to pay homage to it all - et voilà! A playlist of one hundred eighty-eight tunes for your listening pleasure - and mine!



It does not stop there though - no!
The Eighties deserve to have more than one playlist devoted to them: more than two or three also. In fact, here are eight playlists in all! Eight for the Eighties (yes, eight is enough! ;)

Now pick ONE, TWO, FIVE, EIGHT (EIGHTEEN, EIGHTY or EIGHTY-EIGHT!) tunes amongst all of these as those that best represent the Eighties for YOU...!

Eighties Energy 2.0
Eighties Energy 3.0
Eighties Energy 4.0
Eighties Energy 5.0
Eighties Energy 6.0
Eighties Energy 7.0
Eighties Energy 8.0

Once you've listened to each and every song on these playlists, you will concur that:

a) the Eighties truly were more creative than any other decade and
b) there really was no need to go overboard and have
EIGHTY (playlists) FOR THE EIGHTIES...

Eight is enough! .... right?  ;-)

I mean - we didn't forget anybody there - did we?

Hmm, then again...?

Sempre Por O Melhor

Life Needs Cinemax...?



Yeah, sure, I'll take
fries with that...


The best way to sell something
is to make darn sure that people will buy into
the lie that they NEED it -
and not only do they need it,
they need it bad - REAL BAD. 

Achieving this is an art unto itself.

Well, the truth is
each and every one of us
needs Cinemax so darn bad
in their dull lives
about as BAD as we all need
our sphincters checked
and our urethral pressure profiling
regularly done in order to
spice up our daily routines!

With movies like the ones served up
on the menu above, that's exactly
what it is like -
as you sit down on uncomfortable cinechairs
to watch that cinecrap
for hours and hours,
while indulging in cinegrub
that barely deserves the denomination of "food"
ruining our health in more than
one single notable way...!

Yeah folks -
WE NEED CINEMAX.
And Cinemax needs a life of its own.
Indubitably.
