In case that one isn't retro enough for you:
We will not be bringing up the Aaron Carter version. Do you understand me? Anyone who does will be denied treats.

You Spin Me Right Round
Getting the obvious out of the way...
I've always said that there's an 80's pop song for every blog post.
On Saturday, there was a music sale at the comic shop. They had a room full of albums, singles, CD's, tapes, music mags and sheet music for 25 cents each. That's a price too good to resist, so i had to go.
I don't carry a lot of records in my booths. Most of what I do have is stuff I have found or that has been given to me. I sell a few from time to time, and they do serve as a draw to get some people into the booth to check them out. There are three or four serious music vendors in our mall with booths full of records. I don't have the knowledge base to really compete with them, so I don't even try. instead, I look out for freebies and bargains. And the weird stuff that fits in with my overall booth vibe.
So I set off Saturday on a quest for the fun stuff. Here are some highlights.
How cruel is it that the pattern on your argyles will always clash with the plaid of your tartan?
I have a CD of JP II praying the Rosary set to electronic beats. He was one happening Pope.
Would you let this man repair your marriage? I think the cover would be much cooler if he was holding a roll of duct tape.
I want to draw your attention to this line on the cover:
I'm torn between searching for a Polka Toddlers album and the fear that it might have a tag line on it that says "Formerly the Polka Infants."
Speaking of show biz families.
My husband had a HUGE crush on David Cassidy when he was younger.
From Popes to Presidents. It was a well-rounded day.
We close with sweaty mice. And whatever Goofy is.
This one actually still has the booklet with it. Yay!
I got a few other things, but this is the cream of the crop. Boxed record sets--opera, classical, Christmas, and country--do sell well for me, so I scoop them up whenever I can. I also got some Christmas albums.
But wait!
There's more!
Tune in tomorrow.

Golden Age of Pop Music
Honestly, the Golden Age of Pop Music was the 80's. How could it not be? I'm talking about mainstream charting pop songs, not those wonderful obscure independent nuggets that every era of music releases. I do love to venture off the beaten path, but the last time the path was filled with such goodness and fun and quality and talent was the 80's.
I mean, you had this:
And this:
Don't forget this:
Or this:
You even had this one, before she discovered lip-synching and auto-tune.
Hell, even these guys were big, goofy fun:
And, of course, you cannot forget:
And it wasn't all frothy, poppy fun either:
It was never better. And it's never been as good since. Seriously.
