Clarification: When I write, I don't prepare or organize my ideas, I just write what I would say if I was talking to you in person, so sometimes my blogs end up a little messy. I don't even proof-read what I write before posting it so you may find grammatical mistakes and poorly written sentences. Sometimes I'll read my blogs a day or two after publishing them and I may re-write things that weren't too clear and any embarrassing grammatical mistake. Also, English is not my first language, so I apologize if reading my blogs become a struggle. Of course, if this is the case, I would imagine you wouldn't continue reading.

I thought that knowing who Baltimora was and remembering the melody of his song, Tarzan Boy, meant that there was no cheesy 80's song that you couldn't find in some old dusty corner of my mind. Boy, I was wrong. There's not only a few songs, but a complete catalog of music (and videos). The deeper I dug, the more, uhmmm, amazing they got.

They may not be the most important ones, but they were there, in between New Order and Depeche Mode and Culture Club and Madonna, which to me is just fascinating. OK, enough introduction, let's reveal these gems I've found:
