Reid About It

New Friday feature here at Reid About It, thanks to MySpace (Slogan: "We're not just for molesters anymore!"). Every Friday I'll pass out a free song from one of my bands, and also some free music from one of my favorite bands. Being a pop culture guy myself, I'm throwing in some 80's music trivia as well.

To begin with, absolutely free of charge to anyone who wants it, an MP3 of my band, The Caucasian Boys, doing a cover of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On". Enjoy! Or not, whatever.

And one of my favorite bands, Head Automatica, has a new album out. Check out their MySpace site with songs from the new album. "Graduation Day" is the first single. Great pop stuff here, you can really hear the Squeeze and the early 80's influences in them.

Finally, your challenge for the day. I'm giving you snippets from five songs from the 80s. Can you name them? First one to do it gets a free haiku, or other prize of no real value.



I'll post the winners. Make me proud, you guys. Have a good weekend.
