FREEZE! Welcome to my special Miami Vice themed show. Aside from the obvious Jan Hammer jams, I'll be showcasing some of the other amazing music played in the background of this iconic show. Whoever music supervised this really had good taste on cutting edge (and popular) music of that time. Get your linen suits out and time warp back to 80s with Crockett and Tubbs!

Hiya Otis! We went thru a binge about 4 years ago and watched it from start to finish...REALLY holds up! Super dark. And Sonny Crockett is a super intricate character.

Otis Fodder:

I would love to do that too. We would dig it. I loved the show and you are so correct, music supervision was so spot on, forward-thinking for the time. I have memories of how popular the music was as an integral part of the show. Cool theme idea today!!

I was obsessed w Devo and would write their slogans on my clothes, trapper keeper etc, I would also tell the other kids on recess about Devo the final straw was me teaching other kids the the Barbie doll part of speed racer at recess.

I got into a school yard fistfight with an old friend for me liking that 'queer band' Devo.

trapper keeper... Man those are two words that instantly evoke very specific memories.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm
Rich in a Plastic Pompadour:

I also remember in Jr. high, if you didn't have a big feathered hair helmet and stupid looking designer jeans, etc, people would yell DEVO at you from moving cars.

It was a huge scandal that all the kids we’re jump roping in the school yard and chanting “Im a Barbie doll and I like sex!”

they sold these sleeveless TURTLENECK tees at that New Traditionalists concert---I got one and that shirt was SO weird it was beyond bullying material---too mind blowing! haha

For a moment I thought this was STEAMR.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:51pm
Rich in a Plastic Pompadour:

Yeah. Aren't the Stranger Things kids pushing 30 now? It would be cool to see them in the middle of the weird 'Punker' violence/suburban acceptance thing. Was so weird to see these really normal looky-loo type kids showing up at hardcore shows in the mid 80s.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm
Rich cutting all the sleeves off his Ts now:

It's funny. I outgrew Devo after getting into Punk and Post Punk but when those Hardcore Devo comps came out in the late 80s it completely reignited my love for all things Devo.
Plus, I feel like we're living in the world they predicted.

DEVO were/are definitely seers

My roommates and I in the early 80s went through a phase where we would cut up and draw on our clothes as preparation to go out. And we changed our hair all the time. Bucket of Basic White in the bathroom

We used to play the whole album, with roommates that way. It was a long time ago. Did that with a lot of records that were dark and super poppy singles at 33rpm. Usual bored at home stuff on a couch.
