Preparing for the ultimate 80s and 90s party has been magical musical journey through time.

When finding the right tunes to play, I remembered

- watching Beverly Hill 90210

- listening to Nirvana (being hardcore generation X)

- before that there was 2 Unlimited and Culture Beat (which I later vehemently denied)

- the parties we used to throw in our friends' basements.

- schlepping along a second stereo so we could "DJ". We even put together cash so we could buy a strobe light for cooler atmosphere. (Lucky we didn't have any friends with epilepsy).

And of course the parties where you'd have a "slow section".

That stuff just doesn't happen anymore. People play cool music. House. Shed. Garage.

Maybe I'm getting old; probably I'm just nostalgic as you get when you get older.

But come on, 2 Unlimited in its eurotrashy way was AWESOME!!!

And believe me, I'll look the part at the party with the full 1980s outfit!
