The Modern Mix-Tape … Totally 80s-inspired!

If you’re looking for a little retro activity in your modern life, try the ol’ school (albeit, with new school equipment!) mix-tape/CD!

I have never been a stranger to music…especially that which is inspired by that beloved era!  So, I recently started grouping different tracks on good ol’ iTunes and cranking out some serious mixes (Soul Sounds, Passion Plays, Calming Classical)…and, now, Electronic Drive!

After viewing the sleek, sexy, soon-to-be-cult-classic, Drive, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, I felt compelled to revert to my music-compiling days….totally 80s-inspired-like!

Now, gone (I think) are the days of dual cassette players and cassette tapes.  But, with summer around the corner, what better “I love you, man” gift is better than a CD chock full of choice hits?

“Under Your Spell” – Desire

“A Real Hero” – College (feat. Electric Youth)

“Hide Me” – The Golden Filter

“Show Me the Way” – Allure (feat. Jes)

Grab a chilled beverage and enjoy the ride! Happy listening!
