Today on The Hideaway, we're featuring Brandon Hixson's series Lost Hits Of The Early 1980's. Its got songs from the first part of the decade you may or may not remember; some got radio play while others were early videos on the fledgling MTV. Seeing so many tracks from 1982 does our heart good. Brandon doles out the goodness twenty tracks at a time across ten albums uploaded as YouTube videos. If you like what you hear, make sure you leave Brandon a comment or just a thumbs up on one or more of his videos. We've been listening to The Lost Hits of the Early 1980's here at The Hideaway since Brandon first shared them back in August and have really enjoyed his selections. We are definitely looking forward to the next batch, whether it be The Lost Hits of the Mid-1980's or The Lost Hits of the Late 1980's.
