With the holidays fast approaching you might be wondering what to give to that special 80s Music Lover in your life. While this list is not definitive, it is a collection of some of the best collections of music from a decade where music took a decidely different turn. In the aftermath of the Punk and Feminist revoltions of the 70s, in the face of the Cold War, and new music technology (keyboards, drum machines, sequencers, etc.) finally becoming accessible and affordable, music in the 80s became fragmented into many genres and subgenres, music styles and tastes that defined the decade. A decade of decadence? Debatable, but not likely, with cars, salaries, houses all becoming collasol in the mid and latter 90s.
In this list of collections you will find ones that are more obscure and less popular from companies that tend to focus on remixes, alternate versions or the just plain unusual alongside of major record label releases that will satify anyone who is intrigued, indebted or simply "stuck" in the 80s. To your right you will find a collection of links that will bring you to reviews and track listings of these compilations. Below, you will find a brief run-down of the musical collections and what to expect from the style of the compilation. I hope this guide helps you find the perfect present for the ones you love (or even yourself).
Many girls dream of having their own walk in closet, owning a pair of Jimmy Choos or having a selection of real Loius Vuitton bags that aren’t made in China. These three celebrities own these dreams, with their unbelievably massive shoe collections and the equally glamorous shoe closets they reside in. Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Paula Abdul are well known in their respective careers, but after taking a glimpse of their walk in shoe closets, they should be able to dethrone Madonna as the material girl....take a look.

The Storyline
Arthur Christmas reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?' The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the center of the film is a story about a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.
Everybody loves Christmas, and everybody loves Christmas movies. Through out the years Christmas movies have been a staple of the holiday season. They span decades, and everyone has their favorite. Maybe the best part about them is that you can shelve a Christmas movie until next year, and seeing it again for the 100th time seems fresh. Christmas movies are something to look forward to and mark the season. With so many movies from so many eras to pick from, we’re going to look at some classics from the ‘80s. Because the 80s are cool, and Christmas movies from the 80s are especially cool.
A good soundtrack can take a movie to a new level, and it’s usually the soundtrack that gets remembered the most. Certain songs bring back memories of the scene they were played in, and a good soundtrack has never been so important.
Good music in a film can not only create atmosphere and mood, but emphasise the emotions and feelings of the characters adding to the overall movie-going experience. Here are 5 movies who understood the importance of music, and got it right:
American television is saturated with cops. From Detective Elliot Stabler on Law and Order: SVU to Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS, America has fallen in love with modern day crime fighters.

However, you don’t need a criminal justice degree to see that a career in criminal justice is not like the TV shows. Just take a look at the CSI Effect.
In mid-September protesters began peacefully occupying Liberty Square in Manhattan’s Financial District to expose the unfair role corporations have in shaping the global economy. Protesters call themselves the 99%, because 1% of America’s population controls the great majority of the nation’s money. But who are the 99%? Are all of the protesters liberal activists who disagree with capitalism? No, not at all. Many protesters are normal citizens. They too are upset about the overwhelming corporate influence and are ready for a change.

Sounds like a ridiculous question right? Well believe it or not there are those out there that have done just that and bought the tee shirt! Whilst not the activity of everyday folk, flying through the eye of a hurricane is a sought after experience for many storm chasers or hurricane hunters. Once thought to be the past time of mad men, storm chasing seems to be a growing hobby for many American and UK extreme weather enthusiasts.
When thinking of Australia, one usually pictures the oft-quoted “shrimp on the Barbie” phrase, actors like Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, kangaroos, and Crocodile Dundee. Music isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind. But, it should be – the country is actually home to a pretty kickin’ music scene.
"Through their web of political influence, billionaire political operatives Charles and David Koch have bought access to democracy's lifeblood: free and fair elections. The Kochs have funded efforts to thwart 21 million Americans from voting and Koch dollars helped write and propose voting suppression bills in 38 states."
In 24 hours, the G20 summit of world governments meets to discuss the global economic crisis, but banks and big corporations are sponsoring the meeting in exchange for an all access pass!
