Tabitha Wang wrote an article on 80s music at the same time as David Turner had done last year. She mentioned Rick Ashley's music and yes, he is one of my favourite singers. Now my radio station is preset at 90.5 FM instead of 95.0 FM. It plays more of 80s and even late 70s music, which I grew up with. My Youtube account has such music as part of my favourite videos too.
She backs her love for nostalgic music by citing from Psychology Today, that nostalgia is good for us. It can make us more cheerful. I think it also makes us yearn for a past that is gone. The level of cheerfulness can be reduced by the inclusion of sorrow caused by this knowledge.
I am looking forward to the Star Awards Drama 25th Anniversary Show this Sunday. It'd be good to reminisce over the Chinese dramas I grew up watching. At present, I watch reruns of Mystery Night, Zero to Hero and the local version of X-files starring Edmund Chen, Ivy Lee and Nick Shen. The former still gives me the creeps.
