I'd like to take a moment to thank Was for all his work, effort, and great blog content over the past year. Not only that, but he introduced me to "Save It For Later" by the English Beat! Eternally grateful for that alone.
Well, today is November 3, 2018, and this is the final post.

Way to go MD ... after killing it non-stop for 18 straight months, you drop twenty more as you exit!!! Now that's how you finish an epic run!!! It has been a total blast contributing for the last year, and like so many others, I was introduced to a ton of amazing 80s and synthpop bands & tunes for the first time via this site. Discovering The Spoons' "When Time Turns Around" alone was worth all the hard labour! Keep on being awesome everybody!!!
ReplyDeleteYup, doing this blog was a ton of fun. Hopefully as time goes on we'll get more comments from people who discover it. Best of luck Was, let me know if you ever start a blog and I will definitely check it out and write pithy comments! :)
DeleteSo it’s Saurday, time to head on over to Marc’s blog and see what new tune he’s posted and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI know...it felt weird for me to not post anything as well!
DeleteI've been away for this site for way too long! I'm sorry to see that this blog is no longer active, but thanks for introducing me to so many great New Wave songs!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, dbutler16. Feel free to post more comments on any post you missed while you weren't following the blog.
DeleteWill do!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Glad to see Concrete Blonde on the list. Have you heard Grace Potter's "When The World Falls Down" cover? Outstanding.
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind me dropping my site link here.
Cheers.

Don't mind at all, 80s DJ. I am a huge Concrete Blonde fan. I have all their CDs, including "Pretty & Twisted" which is Johnette's solo, and "Live in Brazil".
DeleteI'm leaving a comment because IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT in 2020 and NEW WAVE STILL REIGNS SUPREME!!!!! BOO YAH!!!!
