18 Oct 1979, Buggles were at No.1 on the singles chart with 'Video Killed The Radio Star.' The song relates to mixed attitudes toward 20th-century inventions & machines. They were a studio band featuring producer Trevor Horn. Famously, it was the 1st ever music video shown on MTV in the US. #Buggles

13. The Sound Of The Crowd - The Human League

"Get around town, where the people look good, where the music is loud"

It doesn't get more '80s: Phil's haircut, warm synth sounds, Joanne & Susan, Malibu & coke, glamour on a budget, hitting the town, "something for the weekend, sir?"

If traditional artworks aren't able to scratch that artistic itch of yours, perhaps you might be wanting to check out the paintings of Joachim Ingulstad of Norway.

Here's a 3-in-1 artwork of his that's simultaneously an oil, UV-reactive and also glow-in-the-dark painting. Interesting.
