Vacation Time!
After four weeks of Ladies Of The 80’s: Soundtrack Edition, I’m taking a little break.
Burning The Ground will be on vacation for the next two weeks while I recharge, relax, and give the turntable a well-earned rest.
Thank you again for all the incredible support during the series.
I’ll see you when I return!

Well, we have made it to the final week.
What originally started as a one-week idea somehow turned into four weeks plus of soundtrack singles, rare 12-inch mixes, forgotten gems, familiar favorites, and quite a few surprises along the way.
And I have loved every minute of it.
The response to Ladies Of The 80’s: Soundtrack Edition has been fantastic, and your comments, memories, stories, and enthusiasm are a big reason the series kept going much longer than I originally planned.
But all good soundtracks eventually reach the closing credits.
This week will be the final chapter… for now.
I will be posting three final entries this week:
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Then, beginning Friday, August 21, I will be taking a two-week vacation and giving both myself and the turntable a little rest.
Do not worry, though.
There are still plenty of soundtrack records sitting in the collection waiting for their moment.
So while this edition is coming to an end, I think it is safe to say…
Ladies Of The 80’s: Soundtrack Edition II will happen at a later date.
A sequel?
Of course.
This is the ’80s.
Everything gets a sequel.
For now, we still have three records left, and I have saved some fun ones for the finish.
Thank you to everyone who has followed the series, downloaded the transfers, shared memories, discovered something new, or simply stopped by to listen.
Now let’s roll the final reel.
Three more Ladies.
Three more soundtracks.
Three more trips back to the ’80s.
See you tomorrow.

When I started Ladies Of The 80s: Soundtrack Edition, I planned to make it a single-themed week.
Then one week became two.
Two became three.
And somehow, there are still plenty of soundtrack singles waiting in the wings.
Over the past three weeks, we have revisited familiar favorites, uncovered forgotten gems, explored rare 12-inch mixes, and returned to a few movies whose soundtracks were far more memorable than the films themselves.
The response has been wonderful, and I have enjoyed reading your memories, stories, and personal connections to these records.
So, I have one question.
Are you ready for a fourth week of Ladies Of The 80s: Soundtrack Edition?
There are still more ladies, more movies, more remixes, and more vinyl waiting to be heard.
Wednesday will be an off day because I have a few doctor appointments, but the series will return on Thursday.
Let me know in the comments.
Do you think the series should continue?
After a much-needed vacation, I’m back and ready to get the music spinning again here at Burning The Ground.
To everyone who has been patiently waiting, thank you. The break was refreshing, but I’ve missed sharing great music with all of you.
We’ll officially kick off Pride Month on Wednesday with a classic dance floor favorite from one of pop music’s most influential and enduring duos. Released at the turn of the millennium, this uplifting anthem celebrates individuality, community, and finding your place among kindred spirits. Its message remains just as relevant today as it was when it first filled clubs and dance floors around the world.
If you’ve ever dreamed of bright lights, big city energy, and the freedom to be yourself, you’ll definitely want to stop by on Wednesday.
That’s all I’m giving away for now.
See you then!
