To all you hubbers out there I hope you are having a great weekend . And I would humbly like to submit my latest lame effort at being entertaining to you ! I am taking a break from my soapbox and I am not going to write a political hub for you to endure ! I have been In entertainment mode of late . I seem to be getting a somewhat sunny disposition Inspite of myself !

That being said I would like to present to you more of my favorite 80s tunes from that era . I never owned a pair of parachute pants I am glad to say ! But the 80s to me was one of the best musical eras ever ! And I was an active participant In bad fashion and even worse dancing skills !

First off I would like to say that this endeavor was a little tougher then I thought It would be . Mainly because all the really good ones on youtube they will not let you embed . Do they not realize I just learned how to do this ? KILLJOYS !!!

However I did find some Interesting nuggets to present to you and I am going to start with The Bangles . The Bangles came out of LA In the early 80s and were pretty much chief rivals of The Go Gos . They used to call themselves The Bangs early on because It gave them that punk edge . Eventually they turned In to The Bangles and hit their stride by 85 . They are Vicky and Debbie Peterson as well as Susannah Hoffs and bassist Michael Steele . No Silly ! Not Michael Steele the Republican chairman ! In any event I liked that they actually played their Instruments and were not poseurs .And this was my favorite song by them . (I hated Walk Like an Egyptian ! Yuck ! ) So here Is " When the hero takes a fall " Enjoy and dance If you like ! Wheres my dancin partner Ripplemaker ?

The Blow Monkeys were one of those one hit wonder types . But the one song they did   was pretty good . " Digging your scene " I always thought was a pretty good tune and also a pretty good song to dance too . It came out In about 1984 , a time when I actually thought I was pretty cool Inspite of my bad fashion sense ! The video Is pure cheese like most of the early MTV stuff . But the song was great !

Tone Loc came around In 1989 with two minor Hits . Funky Colmedina and this one which was just plain funny and a bit of a ripoff on the Robert Palmer video " Addicted to love " But I liked the toungue In cheek humor ! And by the way Tone Loc Is my nickname at the office , but dont tell anybody ! OK ?

I had seen The Cramps a few times back In the early 80s when I was doin the punk scene out In West LA . They were not the most talented , but man their shows were fun! They fall under what Is called the psychobilly category . And I loved their drummer . In this video he Is stiff as a statue , and when they played live he was the same . Their guitarist Poison Ivy hails from the Sacramento area . And we lost their frontman Lux Interior at the beginning of this year . Bikini Girls with Machine Guns Is alot of fun . I hope you enjoy It too !

   Jeff Beck Is one of the underrated guitarists of our time . Jeff Beck  started as a guitarists for The Yardbirds and was replaced around 1966 by some guy named Jimmy Page who as I understand Is a pretty capable guitar player himself ! The Yardbirds also had a guitar player named Eric Clapton so as you can Imagine this Is some pretty Illustrious company we are talkin about here ! Now Jeff Beck only did a few music videos , but I always thought this one was a nice little treat . There were so many cameos In there It was great fun . Including Dr Joyce Brothers , Marilyn Mccoo of The Fifth Dimension, Herve Villachese whom you might know as Tattoo from Fantasy Island . Also Included are Cheech Marin and of all people Donny Osmond

             This video Is pure fun ! And what this man can do with a guitar Is just sick ! He does some really amazing playing towards the end of the video . And you will understand why I am such a fan of his ! Enjoy !!!! :).

  Well I hope you liked some of these . I will probably be getting Into the 90s at a later date . But I want to wish one and all a great day and keep dancin ! Peace out hubbers ! (Non hubbers too ! )
