Anyone know if there are plans for a #60sTop30 ? I was thinking of running it thru January but could do December if there’s no such decade-based one that month.

Day 10. “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush (1985) www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp43...
While I could have just as easily chosen “Sat In Your Lap”, “Army Dreamers”, “The Big Sky” or “Experiment IV” there’s something at the highest level I always loved about this one… what a LP!

Lovely article on University of Cambridge's Future Nostalgia project - rescuing knowledge from old floppy disks! Much of it resonates with the preservation work we do at GTW:
