Comments on the mix: This was a long-gestating idea. A mix that combines '80s music with '80s-inspired music. And by '80s, I mostly mean New Wave. And as for the prom? Well, there are always sulky kids in the corner. This is for their teen movie. (Only the OMD track overlaps with my last '80s foray.)
