Brian Loren- Easier Said Than Done (1984)

There are new statistics that say that 53% of Vegetarians go back to eating meat within a year. Really, giving up meat is easier said than done. It's a back-and-forth cycle I know all too well- one where I bounce between being pushed away after finding a hard thing in my sausage or a gross veiny piece of chicken, and being lured back in with a particularly sexy steak. It's always a bit of a fall from grace when you go back to eating the flesh of another living being, but another unpublished statistic is that non-vegetarians are 53% less smug.

Freddy James- Don't Turn Your Back On Love (1982)

The term "sheeple" has been #trending lately, and the irony, as well as the general stupidity of the term, just kind-of makes me want to finally turn my back on humanity forever.

Song Twins: Odyssey- Who (1974) & Demis Roussos- I Dig You (1977)


I often think that disco got so convoluted, what with the angel dust flowing through the air and all of the sequins and glitter blinding everyone, that beats and songs were often re-used without anybody really noticing or giving a fuck.

Sister Sledge - Ooh, You Caught My Heart (1981)

Getting caught by my ultra-Christian, ultra-lame neighbors for smoking weed, and having them bitch me out in a disappointed tone for 45 minutes made me so thankful my dad was way too stoned to actually parent... Love you, Dad!

Cheryl Lynn- Shake It Up (1981)

It's no wonder that non-Western culture shakes their collective heads at us sometimes. While some of these countries are just trying to keep their population from dropping dead in the streets from starvation, we're over here encouraging our children to take an evening, put on a $40 plastic smock and mask, and go utter loaded threats at the neighbors to give them free candy or risk getting an entire carton of eggs whipped at their front door.

Kashif- Stone Love (1983)

You know what they say: he who cast the first stone, is actually a total dick.

Radiance- All Night (1985)

I don't pull all-nighters like I used to. In fact, when I even attempt to stay out past 4AM, I end up in a sad, old pile of disappointment, menthols with two drags out of them, early morning Mcmuffin wrappers, and tiny bits of regret over lost sleep and all the very explicit dreams I would've, could've had.

Patrice Rushen- I Was Tired Of Being Alone (1982)

Living alone is super great, but there's unfortunately there to stop you from thinking that clothes aren't a necessary part of browning ground beef.

Skyy- Let's Celebrate (1981)

Most people celebrate Autumn. They love the pumpkin spice and the cable knits and the holidays and the gold and crimson leaves that crinkle under their feet. Not me, though. To me, fall signifies a time where I grit my teeth and take that first step on the long and nasty-ass road to Summer 2015.

Starpoint- I'm So Crazy 'Bout You (1983)

Man, I really miss the good old days, when you didn't have to question whether or not a person muttering to themselves in the street is straight-up crazy, or just wearing a bluetooth.
