Desperately Seeking Fletcher

I like to consider myself a bit of an archivist or at the very least a collector. With everybody realizing at any moment, the things we love can be lost or put behind a paywall, I wanted to combat that by having a hard copy of things I constantly return to. It's a huge project of mine to collect various 80s content and one that I'll never finish. I would like to add that these are from the Internet Archive but some of the things are from the various home tapes I've found posted online (of course of public places, not people's personal lives, that's far even for me!)

Is it unnecessary? Extremely! But does it make me happy knowing that as long as the hard drive itself stays uncorrupted, I never have to worry about things being taken down or locked behind a paywall! This ones for my own viewing, but I highly encourage everybody to take advantage of the Internet Archive, there's so many great resources beyond magazines, and movies, there's books, audio, software, anything! So many of my favorite movies that aren't streaming anywhere, and I can't find physical copies of, it's up on there!

After converting an old phone of mine to be a MP3 player, i realized I should actually talk about the music I play so here's the songs I've been playing the most, and while I know this is an 80s blog, you'll simply have to forgive my more modern music tastes, I'm the kind of person who has music on at any given moment, so I listen to a LOT of different things across the years. First up!

obviously with the Michael Jackson biopic, everybody's pumping his music lately, and I am no exception. Dirty Diana is probably one of my favorites of his, along with Billie Jean and P.Y.T. I think Bad and Thriller are some of the top tier albums of all time, and there's a reason Michael Jackson still holds such a huge role in pop music as we know it.

Next on the list.

I'll be honest this one's stuck on my head partly due to this interview with Jakob Nowell but I also just really fuck with Butthole Surfers stupid heavy lol.

Last song on the list
