So, I was all set to do a Vonda Shepard '80s Sunday Rewind (you know Vonda – she was the bar singer in Ally McBeal), then after a little research, realized the song she's known for, "Don't Cry Ilene" came out in 1990. Not the '80s. I've been planning a Vonda post all week, but maybe that will be a Tunes Tuesday post instead.
Today you're getting more personal '80s favorites because it's my blog and I feel like it.
Up first is the lovely "Life in a Northern Town" by Dream Academy.
Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday Someway" is a great little pop song. Love the guitars on this one.
This clip of R.E.M. doing "Don't Go Back to Rockville" needs to be saved for future generations. This is one of my favorite songs.
And finally, with one of my favorite first lines of any song, "Such a drag to want something sometime," it's The Pretenders with "Talk of the Town." Fantastic song.
"Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday." Love that song. And just for fun, "Brass in Pocket," which is pretty fantastic as well.
Enjoy your Sunday.
