I have the website for you.

I was an MTV kid — I actually had a friend who had cable back when MTV launched, and I saw the second video they ever played. So when John Scalzi linked to a site with over 1,400 videos from the 1980s, I had to go look.

It’s amazing how those videos really did capture the styles and sensibility of the time. For example, I remember thinking that Charlie Sexton (of "Beat’s So Lonely") being edgy and cool.

Anyway… if that was your music "back in the day," go enjoy. I’m sure many of us could find our secret shame songs that we love on the list. I’m just sad that "Life in a Northern Town" isn’t on the site.
