[...] I used to be a DJ in the 80’s, and I enjoy doing party mixes for a crowd, or to a tape recorder. Having two turntables (and sometimes a drum machine), and playing various dance/club songs were fun me. It was an expensive hobby too, I bought a lot of vinyls. [...]

I’m an 80’s music lover too. I lived in the Brons then and would go into NYC every weekend to go to the dance clubs. I spent the whole night (and I mean whole night 10 PM – 2AM) dancing. Nothing like it in the world!

I visited Britain and heard the Human League before they were released in the US and knew they’d be a hit here.

Some of my faves from then – Flock of Seagulls, Culture Club, Thompson Twins, Eurythmics, The B-52’s and so many more. I liked anything that had a good beat and we could dance too (LOL).

Hi Bruce. Those were some memories, eh? I especially remember coming from a club at 4am. Now that was dedication!

I’m always searching for more retro 80s songs to put on my Last.fm list. Let me know if you have some.

Rudy, I was also a DJ in the 80s but only in School. It was called CHAM and we all had a blast hanging out listening to each other's shows. Thanks for brining back some cool memories. I'm also in Quebec and there was an awesome band called Villain Penguin but I can't find any of their stuff online. Thanks for the Last FM links. There's a couple songs there that aren't on my playlist. Bruce from Selling Books Online Bruce's last blog post..Have you Created your Pastafarianism section yet?

@Zhu: I don’t know much about French 80’s music either, but there were a bunch of 80’s musician from Quebec, that I know of, like Men Without Hats, The Box, or Mitsou.

@Periapex: I think there’s an extended remix, subway remix, extended bonus beat remix, re-re-redubbed remix, etc.

Wait, there's a best of CD? Does it only have 2 songs? What were they called again...Girl You Know it's True, and the other one, I can't remember. Periapex's last blog post..Constipation.

Music wise, I think I'm stuck in either the 70s, either the 90'. I totally skipped the 80's... in France, music wasn't that innovative at the time I guess. Being a DJ must have been a cool experience anyway! Zhu's last blog post..Along The Seine

I don’t know, but even back then I really didn’t find MV’s music that great – beat was mostly the same; lyrics were basically the same. Another words, no depth to it. But, it was the most requested group and people went nuts every time I played their songs. In that sense, it left a lasting impression on me also.

Were you the first to buy the Best of Milli Vanilli CD?

I’ll admit it. I liked Milli Vanilli’s songs when I heard it on the radio in the late 80’s. Catchy songs with a good beat. When I saw the two guys in the videos, I liked them less and seeing them jump around, I didn’t care for the group as much anymore as was kinda turned off to their music, too. When it was revealed that those two guys were just “front men” (literally), I was back to liking Milli Vanilli’s songs. I still pop in the CD or listen to their MP3’s once in a while.

BTW, that’s why I love XM Radio. 80’s music all the time!

Yeah right. Milli Vanilli would sing just as well during a root canal operation.
