S4E21: Keith & Alejandro's Excellent Adventure

Hello, 80s-est listeners!Well, we didn’t do a rerun while Joe and his family were out creating magic in the park with Twelfth Night. (Ballinger Shakespeare)Instead, with Joe’s blessing, we threw together a semi-topical new episode in which Keith and longtime contributor, Alejandro Saya (Lo Más Ochenta), discuss some music. First we talk about the World Cups of the 80s, then we discuss original movie music of the 1980-1984 (Reel A) era!We hope you enjoy some more insight into the international 80s experience with Alej’s discussion of Copa Mundial, and then we also attempt to put into perspective the landscape of original soundtrack music of the early 80s.So, we will not be advancing the brackets this week, but, for fun, of these top-ranked original soundtrack songs, which do YOU consider most 80s? Vote! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit the80sest.substack.com
