Max Headroom 80s Avatar

Timewarp — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:35:36 +0000

Max Headroom was a computer generated smart ass 80s icon with funny satirical opinions about media, politics and pop culture – a sort of John Stewart of the eighties. In an age of blocky low-resolution computer graphics Max appeared to be a huge advance in lifelike 3D rendering. Eventually the high tech secret was revealed – it was a guy in a mask!

Here’s a video of Max Headroom on 80s style:

Max also appeared in the track Paranomia by Art of Noise as seen in this 80s classic music video:

A New Era for the Retro Kidz

Timewarp — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:08:16 +0000

If you were lamenting that bands like Red Head Kingpin and the FBI or Kid n Play haven’t released any new cassingles for over a decade then the Retro Kidz are here to make your day. With an upbeat mix of 80s hip hop and dance beats and the funky street styles that go along with the music these kids (that were just being born in the 80s) are making the decade come alive once again.

Check out the Retro Kidz video for New Era and try to spot the homages (I wont say rip off!) to eighties characters like Do the Right Thing era Spike Lee and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

So what do you think about this new era of Eighties Kidz?

Mr. T makes a good point here – Do you think Bill Blass and Calvin Klein wear clothes with YOUR name on them? Then why should we pay to wear their name!
