We are celebrating Duranmas Duranmas today, since it’s 30 years since the album Rio was released.

Rio-1982 Duran Duran

Rio - Duran Duran - 1982

The idea to celebrate Duranmas Duranmas came from the ”I Waste The Buddha With My Crossbow” blog.

The album Rio had lots of very good tracks. You might also remember ”Hungry Like the Wolf” and “New Religion“. This is “Rio” from Youtube:

This is a live performance of “New Religion”:

 

Lots of other really good music was also released in 1982. Have a look at the list at Wikipedia that includes a few other albums in my collection like, The Gift (the Jam), Complete Madness (Madness), Abracadabra (Steve Miller Band), The Lexicon of Love (ABC), New Gold Dream (Simple Minds) and more…

Jet Set Willy

We must perform a Quirkafleeg

I have spent many hours writing programs and composing music using my Speccy, but even more hours have been spent on fun and very playable games. A favorite is, Jet Set Willy. In this game you collect things (cleaning his house) before you get to go to bed. There are many difficult rooms to visit before you succeed. You can only go left or right and you can jump. It may sound simple, but it is very playable and fun.

Some of my other favorite games are listed here.
