Eighties Week

This week the radio at work has been set to Absolute 80s, which it may surprise you to know is a radio station which plays exclusively music from the 1980s. It's not fully true - the breakfast show is shared between all their sibling stations for every decade, and so contains typically more recent tunes as well as older ones.

It's surprisingly entertaining and I find myself enjoying it much more than I should do. There are some cracking tunes that come on now and again - Dire Straits' Money For Nothing and Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me are the two stand-out ones from today. It's definitely entertaining, though, and you can sing along to a guilty pleasure without feeling too bad about it because they're all the same!
