For sure I'm going to have a couple of Split Enz posts in this journey up to 100 Essential 80's Tracks, because they were one of the best bands of that decade (I know, they got together in the 70s, but I think their best stuff was in the 80's). Their most popular song is "I Got You", which is certainly a worthy hit, but there are just so many great songs that the Finn Brothers & Co. did. One of...

  I Got You

I thought I'd utilize my pay per view movie feature this evening and I noticed a title that did not look familier. I was curious; was this some High Times type stoner movie?

  One Step Ahead

I actually have the original pressing of this vinyl ... it was a special edition that had laser etching on it with geometric patterns that would change colors when shone in the right light. I'm sure it's worth a little more...

This is a track off their first album "mental notes" When I was a kid (not much younger than these guys) they came on a early TV music show wearing weird suits handmade by some of the members and even weirder haircuts like they had come out of one flew over the cuckoo's nest. I was blown away and so was my Dad for totally different reasons. They re recorded this album and re released it with a...
