Vampire's Kiss (1989)

Horrible Nick Cage vampire movie featuring ESG live in 1989! Most people tapping their hands probably completely oblivious to the significance of what is going on. Sad, really. A few other ok non-ESG songs on the soundtrack too.

S.C.O.R.T.A. - Pertini Dance (1984)

The shape of the fatherland appears from the pipe! SCORTA's only hit. Produced by Severino Lombardoni.

A surprising post from a great map blog, that sometimes mentions real and imaginary maps found in album art:

Off - Electrica Salsa

So popular you "go back to the 80s" when you listen to it, even though I haven't heard of this until today...probably sold tens of thousands of copies? Don't ever call me an elitist.Badass bassline. Entertaining vocals. One of two hits by OFF.

Tony Esposito - Simba De Ammon (1984)

Sounds like a song you drunkenly try to remember the name of on the beach with an old friend. Turns out you were thinking of a different song. Play this at my funeral. -TT
