Those were the days...

[Simon]

Hard to believe that was 25 years ago. I've learned a lot of lessons in that time, hopefully I'm not half the twerp I was at the time. Still, many fond memories of those days and the ones who made them worth every savoring every minute. I wish everyone all the best in wherever life has taken you.

hi Simon and welcome!

25 years doesn't seem possible, especially since many of the Skyfeathers memories seem so fresh still. just hearing a Cure song like "Upstairs Room" gives me exactly the same feeling as it did back then - takes me right back. crazy.
anyway, glad you found this little corner of history.

how did you find us, by the way?

cheers,
ross

Google search skyfeathers. Love the photos, really takes one back, especially the mohawks. In case you haven't run across these yet, check out these links:

These links are for ambient arcade sounds from that period. They are from the years 1981, 1983, 1986 and 1992 accordingly:

There are still a lot of music videos available from youtube that haven't been all lawyered up. I don't think you'll find many Black Flag or Dead Kennedys "videos" per se, other than an album shot and soundtrack. For the more mainstream, there are plenty like this:

...but wait, you also get this Deluxe 5-Qt Sauce Pan:

Thanks for the "totally awesome" Skyfeathers site!
