16 - Sade - Hang on to Your Love

I had a couple of requests to put in, so shoutouts go to Theresa, Lyndon, and Eccentric Diva. My personal favorite cuts are ones from Loose Ends, Thomas Dolby, and Spandau Ballet, but then again, I'm kinda mellow like that. There's something in here for everyone. In fact, I do believe we have Volume II already in queue. If you have any requests, send them on.

And as if that weren't enough, we've got some more for you. Check it.

Thanks to Todd Grundy, we've got the oldie but goodie Xquizzyt1's Mix, Volume 4 in podcast format:

I haven't even begun to listen just yet but just by scanning the tracks I know the music is good. "All Fall Down!" WHA-AT!?! I have not heard this in eons!!! Spandau and Bowie (Nile Rodgers) Great stuff, Man. It's 84-85 again!

P.S Great new layout too!

It's "European Invasion" time at OSW! Nice, very nice but... "What? No Boy George & Culture Club?!" I've had "Miss Me Blind" running through my head for weeks now. (Yeah, OK, I admit it... always liked that group for some reason)

BTW, I had big fun making the podcast of the Xquizzyt1's mix. Fell in love with it at first sight and I just had to mix it down and make it available for download. Been listening to it non-stop for a few days now.

Props on the site redesign too, Mr. Flavors, looks real good (but "damn you", now you got me thinking about doing the same to my site. Where am I supposed to find the time for that! {smile})

@James - I knew you would like it!
@Nikki: half of my day is done already. It was well worth the prep time to do it.
@TGrundy: With you as my QA team you know I can't go wrong. Thanks for the shoutout. No need for the shotgun I guess? *ducks*

The O'Jays, EJ? How did you know that I so needed to hear this? Thanks to you both!

Oh...I didn't see "Sara Smile". Awesome.

EJ, I love the new look; I couldn't see it very well from work but I can see it now that I'm home. Nice mix. Wang Chung... WOW! Takes me way back. Wasn't the video for this song one of the first ones to be banned in the UK for fear that it would cause seizures? They had a couple of good songs. Thanks for adding the Beautiful & graceful Sade.

Peace.

EJ! Thank you so much for the shout out *YAY*! I LOVE Human League's Fascination! That's wsup for real. Kudos for The Thompson Twins "Lies", that's my favorite song from that group. She Blinded Me With Science still sounds as fresh as it did when it came out.

Decisions, decisions. Which list should should I listen too first?

I definitely have something to listen to when I clean up later today...a hot ass Louisiana day at that.

Nice job dude.
