(Re) Born Again, Naturally

Born Again 80's is a (relatively) new blog that documents the evolution of the 12" dance mix throughout the 80s -- hence, the name. I found it yesterday through a link on WFMU, and just went hog wild with a' downloadin'. A lot of this stuff is no longer (or never was) commercially available, so the RIAA-inspired piracy guilt/fear of prosecution is kept to a minimum. Or, at least that's the hope.

Among my favorite remixes that have been posted so far are Cameo's "Word Up", Fine Young Cannibals' "Johnny Come Home", Morrissey's "Suedehead" (!), and Steven 'Tin Tin' Duffy's "Kiss Me". There are also remixes of the only two Phil Collins songs that don't send me immediately into a seizure, The Price is Right Theme, and The Timelords' "Doctorin' the Tardis". The site is certainly worth checking out, especially if, like me, you have a soft spot in your heart for the clumsy remixes of the 1980s. (Although, in the interest of full disclosure, a lot of the remixes are from the 90s or later; it's just that the original songs came out in the 80s.)

Oh, and just for shits and giggles, here's the video for "Doctorin' the Tardis".
Enjoy!
