Star Time #125: Shake & Pop



There hasn't been an all-'80s episode of Star Time since last December. I wouldn't say my avoiding the decade has been 100% intentional, but I have happily defaulted on the option to make it a priority. That ends with this "80's Atonement" special, which is basically a series of four dance mini-mixes. It's heavily edited to simulate beat-matching and seamless segues as much as possible, and you can hear my self-congratulations for doing with editing software what actual DJs can do with their bare hands. Don't blow the mystique.
