Gotta say, I've been feeling Michael Goodstein's program as of late. You know I've loved the bubblegum action and the darkwave for a while, but what's got me really hooked lately is the Italo Disco. I'll put it this way: the only Franco Battiato records I used to listen to were Fetus and Pollution, but now I'm all over disc two of the anthology CD that used to sit under my bed. Looks like we're not the only ones either, as there are extensive Italo archives up online. The most fun for me is browsing through the hundreds of consistently mind blowing youtube videos. From sweet "special effects" to awkward dance moves to nonsensical video plots, Italo can satisfy your innermost longing for camp. Reposted below are just two of the awesome videos I've found - left is Babaluga with My Paradise and right is Filipponio's All'arrembaggio. If you have way too much time on your hands, I'd suggest starting your own Italo love affair with Al Bano & Romina Power, Scotch, Fancy and Di Mateo. Most of all, I'd urge you to bow to the youtube collection of Italonex.
