This is just a lot of random stuff I've been listening to lateley. Some of it's great and some of it's cheesy. You probably won't like it all.
About 3/4 of this stuff is from the 80s.
I could give you some information about all these songs but that's a lot of work. I could take the time, but I'm not gonna.
Just enjoy the music.

A very nice comp.
Any more of those Napoleon Solo demo-tapes lying around?
I don't have any of their other demos. I got that one song here:

I can't get the Real Audio files on that page to work. Maybe someone else will have better luck.
