Got distracted watching a video of someone playing the Thompson Twins Adventure game on the Spectrum. So much nostalgia.

I remember getting this game as a flexible 7" disc on a computer magazine then recording it to tape to load it on my Speccy. Good times.

Happy anniversary to the Thompson Twins single, “You Take Me Up”. Released this week in 1984. #thompsontwins #youtakemeup #passionplanet #intothegap

Everybody say, 'Hey, we want some cookies!'

My first year of college was a disaster. (I survived largely due to inertia -- avoiding making bad decisions by doing almost nothing at all.)

But I lived in an apartment, and I had an oven and a chocolate chip cookie recipe. A common Friday night for me was to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies and sit and watch 80s music videos.

This means that -- while many songs from the 80s bring up complex emotions and memories -- a lot of 80s songs just make me want to eat chocolate chip cookies.

"Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins is a chocolate chip cookie song.

(Bonus fact -- although I have ended up somewhere else -- my original plan for my hair was based on Tom Bailey and his waist-length rat-tail.)

40 years ago this week, "King For A Day" by #ThompsonTwins entered the #Top10 at 10. It peaked at 8 on 22 Mar 1986. Did the toy robot look high tech at the time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-LBDFbVqMA #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
