OK, haven't done an 80's post in a while, but I was listening to this old track and thought, I forgot about this one!
Here's a classic from 1979 - "Computer Games", from the Aussie band Mi-Sex. This band pretty much nails the definition of "one hit wonder"; I remember hearing this a few times back in the 80's, but then nothing from these guys. The track is quintessential 80's, as is the video, with the "vector graphics" background behind the band.
I'm sure a gazillion other people have posted this video, but as a lost 80's classic, I had to include it on the list - so check out Mi-Sex's 1979 classic "Computer Games" - an Essential 80's track!!!!!
Screw The Ting Tings.....THIS is real new wave!

Where ya been, e buzz? Didja know Bozo died yesterday? And he didn't even sell hamburgers!
Woah Bozo died?! Now I can never have a chance to be on the Grand Prize Game. Funny video ebuzz. I'm also a fan of Chuck Norris Action Jeans.
Another dub masterpiece, this time from the late Keith Hudson, who died in NYC of lung cancer in 1984. Ian Curtis of Joy Division was a huge fan of Hudson's.

This dub versions "Africa" by Skiddy and Detroit (also cut by Delroy Wilson on Inbidmts), which was itself based on Frijid Pink's rock take on "House of the Rising Sun". Sax is by Tommy McCook.

hey there, ebuzz! it's good to know your essential Essential... is alive and well, and kind of just on a sabbatical. this song/video is waaaaaay '80s. from fashion sense to use of synths, there are similarities to another Aussie '80s band, Pseudo Echo, although the music isn't similar. great to hear from you every so often!
