BEHIND THE SCENES AT ELECTRONIC80S - DONATION DRIVE

Hello and Welcome Back... Its that pointy time of year where Christmas is just around the Corner.

DONATION DRIVE

2 times a year I do a donation drive. Around June / July & November / December. 

Donations are what keeps this site going, whether it be new content (CDs, Downloads ,etc, etc) Storage of files and upkeep of equipment.

In regards to CDs / Music Files / Downloads, 'Electronic80s' has posted 3,155 albums (posts) to date and have been doing so for 10 years. That's 2 CDs / Albums a day for 10 years, give or take. 

Storage has been a huge pain for the site. You may have noticed that i have been using Google Drive lately as Microsoft Drive keeps telling me 'I'm Over My Sharing Quota'.. and i pay these idiots for storage only to be told that i cant share anything.. Go Figure, so I have to pay again for my Google Storage that keeps running out..  

I hate asking for donations but its a necessary evil, So, all i ask is, if you download / listen to CDs / Albums on this site and you enjoy the selection, please hit the 'Donate' tab under 'Shout me a Coffee' banner. It takes only 30seconds and i use Paypal so its Safe and you don't need to be a member of Paypal to donate. To those who do Donate, I want to thank you for keeping this site alive, you mean the world to me xxx

I have been lately taking a break on the weekends as i run another website 'NSW Radio & Communications' where I program customers radio scanners, each radio can take 4-6 hours (inc breaks) to program, so it keeps me busy. Its exciting listening to things as they happen on a radio scanner / receiver & not have to wait to see if it made the news. BTW, only about 5% of what i hear on the scanner makes it to News / Papers.. Makes for some very interesting listening. Also its interesting to hear the lies the media spin when you can hear the truth in real life on a radio scanner. 

Moving On...

On Friday 15th December i will be taking a few weeks break to spend time with my wife & kids and to let my body heal. 

Sitting at a computer for 6-9 hours (many breaks included) sorting music files / CDs for 5-6 days a week for 10 years is starting to wreak havoc on my body, mostly my shoulders (frozen shoulders) and neck stiffness / pain, lower back (always a problem), pelvis (always a problem = see 1989-Lost Hits Album) so i am going to go outside and smell the roses, roll around in the grass & sunshine while i can.

'Soundz80s - Best Of Soundz80s Vol7' is due Wednesday 13th December. I am putting the finishing touches on it as we speak. Its a wicked album, 6 months in the making with the best songs from 'Sounds80s' part of this site from July to December 2023.. Very 'Moist'

Aaaand, if that wasn't enough, i am also in the middle of writing a novel. I don't want to give too much away but it involves Time Travel using a Alien Time Device. This novel will also have a soundtrack so while your reading the story, you can listen to the songs that are in the story line... Well, that's the idea and its set in the 80s. Never know, maybe Netflix will get hold of it and make it a TV series like 'Stranger Things'.. Never Say Never

So, that's about it.. Hope your enjoying the Music and don't forget to Donate, it really does mean alot.

Thank You
