Driving home last night I was flipping through the radio stations and What’s On Your Mind (Pure Energy) by Information Society came on. My mood instantly switched from tired with a headache, to extremely upbeat and couldn’t sleep if I tried.
There’s just something about the music of the Eighties that pump me up! And there may be no other song that more completely wraps up my love for the 80′s than this one does. Funky beats and synthesizers galore. My body wants to do crazy things when that guitar starts playing.
