Top site devoted to British pop in the 80s. Pop journalist Huw Collingbourne interviewed everyone from David Van Day (who likes to impersonate Ken Dodd in his spare time), to Toyah (who likes to dress as a bunny) plus many other icons of the New Romantic era and he survived the ordeal ! Catch up on these insights into the world of synthpop and mullets, have a go at the quiz and find out which respected 80s musician has a bidet fetish :)

Johnny7 Promotions- Join Johnny 7, Chad Valli and the rest of the guys at Johnny 7 Promotions.

Late Boomers.Com - Everyone who was young in the 70s should visit this site. Writer Nancy Hill provides essential support and advice for those of us who too young to experience free love at Woodstock but were old enough to experience Thatcherism, Reaganism and curtailed rumpy-pumpy and the rediscovery of the condom ! You wore hideous fashion, you grew up with 3 day weeks and power cuts, you're a Late Boomer and it's high time you admitted it. Nancy understands and will guide you through with humour and not a single smiley face or psychedelic backdrop -(they belonged to the 60s in any case).

And if that wasn't enough, he does the same for the 60s and 80s. A must see site !

K-Tel Classics -Until recently, Lisa "The K-Tel Chick" had a wonderful site devoted to her love and extensive knowledge of K-Tel collections. Unfortunately the powers that be seem to have got a little bit upset at what was actually a very positive and well loved site. In short, Lisa has taken down the site, but is working on a new one for record collectors which will be un-K-Tel related. Knowing Lisa, it's bound to be good and rest assured there will be a link to it as soon as it's up and running.

8 Track Heaven: - If you're a young school student researching a 70s project, just one mention of the 8 track cartridge player will get you top marks - trust me ! Ask anyone who was there and they'll relate tales of romantic liaisons in cars with background music played on the in-car 8 track (which would no doubt change from Lay Lady Lay to Nellie The Elephant at a critical point - but less said about that...). Curious ? Visit this slice of true 70s nostalgia now !
