Retro music and film retrospectives

In late July 2026, a series of cultural columns examined nostalgic entertainment from the 1980s and 1990s. The first piece highlighted three one‑hit wonder songs that topped charts in 1991—Londonbeat’s “I’ve Been Thinking About You,” Natural Selection’s “Do Anything,” and Corina’s “Temptation”—and revisited the low‑budget 1982 sword‑and‑sorcery film Sorceress. Two days later, another column expanded the scope, profiling four quirky alternative tracks from the 1990s—Blur’s “Song 2,” The Flaming Lips’ “She Don’t Use Jelly,” The Presidents of the United States of America’s “Peaches,” and Primus’s “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver”—and four 1981 pop releases—Pete Shelley’s “Homosapien,” OMD’s “Souvenir,” The Human League’s “Love Action (I Believe In Love),” and Ultravox’s “The Thin Wall.” Both articles emphasized chart performance, lyrical oddities, and enduring appeal despite limited long‑term visibility, illustrating a continued editorial focus on revisiting overlooked hits and genre‑specific media from the early 1990s and early 1980s.
