If you’re in Vancouver, this Wednesday at The Lamplighter there’s a major Black Label party to celebrate Canada Day.

Winnie deejay Flowers will be playing songs so that it will feel like you’re at your BFF’s parents’ house party when you were 15 (except without the zits and awkwardness).

We’re also having a lil’ chicken and beer party too because Wednesday is cheap wings and draft beer night!

Come early to check out the patio with deejays Mike Dobbs and Dana D. Then the chicken and beer house party starts at 10 with your BFF’s Christian Flores and Zeeaa playing lotsa those oldie/indie/pop/rock/rap songs you won’t admit you love unless you’re all 3D.

Soft Cell – Seedy Films (Richard X Remix)

I went through an 80s pop phase when I used to buy lots of vinyl. I’d spend hours each day checking out thrift stores and used vinyl shops and buying up all the 80s records.

This song is one that took me a while to find for some reason. It’s also perfect for Mondays.

ABC – Look of Love (DJ Eleven Re-Edit)

The Psychedelic Furs – Love My Way

U like that new Grum song?

This might sound familiar then… from 1982.

Klique – I Can’t Shake This Feeling

Rufus & Chaka Khan – Ain’t Nobody (Frankie Knuckles Remix)

Sparks – Angst in My Pants

“You can dress nautical
Learn to tie knots
Take lots of Dramamine
Out on your yacht
But when you’re all alone
And nothing bites
You’ll wish you stayed at home
With someone nice
But when you think you made it disappear
It comes again, “Hello, I’m here”, and
I’ve got angst in my pants”

You can be smart as hell
Know how to add
Know how to figure things
On yellow pads
Answer so no one knows
What you just said
But when you’re all alone
You and your head
What’s the computer say, it’s mumbling now
It says “hey Joe”
It’s spelled it out and
“You’ve got angst in your pants”

At the height of the mid 90s East vs West feud, 2Pac put out this song just a couple years after he was shot five times in Manhattan.

About three months after its release he was shot dead in Vegas.
