10 Feb '08 - 240 W - + 29 - 29 New, Free 80s Magazine!

Back in the 80s, when I was writing for pop magazines, the idea of a magazine that you could read on a computer would have seemed like pure science fiction. Magazines back then were designed, quite literally by ‘cutting and pasting’ (the text would be printed on paper that was then cut up and pasted alongside any pictures on a big bit of board that was sent off to the printers who did some secret magic with big noisy machines and coloured inks to turn the whole lot into glossy paper pages - ah, how quaint and old-fashioned it all sounds now...)

Anyway, by the miracles of modern science, the latest 80s mag, Retrorama, is completely paper free. It is published as a PDF which can be delivered to your inbox by subscribing at: www.retromag.blogspot.com

The first issue, due out this month, promises...

The new Knight Rider - Has someone finally out-cheesed the Hoff? Game Over - Why we loved Space Invaders so much. Grange Hill - The gates have finally closed forever, but how will we remember this iconic show? Plus Back to the Future, Space Hoppers, Wispa bars, Moonwalking and much much more.


Meanwhile, à propos of nothing (other than the fact that I like it!) here is a fab video of one of the best disco hits of the 1980s, Evelyn Thomas’s wonderful High Energy. Dig those groovy high notes!
