MTV’s got a pretty rad new site up that makes finding non crappy-ripped-from-that-VHS-tape-circa-1987-quality (coughcoughyoutube) music videos easy - and kind of fun (love the search by label and director feature.)

So, in honor of the channel that once killed the radio star (yes, I AM looking at you Boston,) please press play and enjoy. Then share and embed and digg and twitter, and all that other stuff.

Still delivers the goods (oh what, you don’t get a little shiver starting around 2:25? yeah, right.)

Have fun digging up some awesome oldies …

I’m still feeling the fascination from this song. It is, as other posters will say, “the perfect pop song”. And then the conversation turned. And many fantasies were learned. On that, and future, days.

The synth link is so good and difficult to recreate today due to wanna-be technology.

If I remember correctly, some former members of the Human League made a baby, moved to Australia or something and started a band called Babel. Though I can’t prove it….. 

Oh wait, thanks to the Goog, it was actually the Thompson Twins that started a new band called Babble which had a pretty good album back in the day. At least that’s how I remember it anyway.  

Somehow I lump these two groups together. Two very good 80’s bands with similar-enough styles.

Also there is another band called Babel. Which is some good chillout electronic stuff.

Keep feeling fasci-nayy-shu-un!
