#flashbackfriday I don’t know if there is anything like music on this planet. Whenever I hear songs from my formative years, I am immediately transported back in time. All kinds of memories and feelings—good, bad and everything in between. Take Billy Idol’s song, “Rebel Yell,” released in 1983—I was sixteen. It embodied a lot of energy. Whenever it catches up with me on the radio or a playlist or soundbyte, I still flip out. Happy flashback Friday.

This playlist is a companion to my 80s coming-of-age novel, Your Silent Face. Stuart Page is a protagonist obsessed with 80s New Wave and Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Divison. All of the tunes and bands in the playlist get a mention in the novel. The novel is available on Amazon.
