Torrential rain, an extremely laggy computer and a wailing cat have not been conducive to composing today's post, so I'll dispense with lengthy sleeve notes and offer up another 1980s selection, with one song from each year of that decade and veering towards the poppier end of the musical spectrum.
Today's post and mix title are lifted from track 5 on this selection. Thanks, Mr. Tom Bailey!
Photo is my own snap of graffiti adorning a building just around the corner from the Institut Valencià d'Art Modern, where Clan K spent an enjoyable couple of hours on our last day in Valencia, just over a week ago. It's a bit blurry as I was on the other side of the street, crossing the road and trying to get the shot in motion. The fact that there isn't a follow up photo of me wrapped around a lamppost or on the bonnet of a car still amazes me...
