Countdown Junkie 1 !!

I have been collecting music videos since the 80s ... so I do have an extensive collection . I prefer 80s music but I have mostly been uploading 70s vids as these are rarer.

I do appreciate all the comments/messages I get about my account but struggle to find time to reply to these ... hopefully with University holidays coming up I might be able to spend more time on YT.

Friend requests are welcomed but only accepted ( when I have time) if there is a genuine interest in my channel & rarely by people just looking for friends on random channels.

I have started a second (backup) channel ... retroj26 ... in case I lose this channel. When I first started uploading videos it was a learning experience & so some of my earlier videos quality etc is not great , so I will reload some of these on my new channel.
Also any requests for videos will be considered & uploaded if possible.

Yes Lucas I did upload some videos recently ... the first in more than 12 months !
I'm very cautious about adding vids as I have 2 warnings & I don't want to lose my channel =O

As for Whitney , I was shocked & saddened to hear this terrible news when I got home from work last Sunday week . It must have affected me deeply as I ended up in hospital that nite & haven't been back at work since!

Hello!.... The Feb 4th was a bloody error, bastards they are!.. I have been so, so with this January. Very PISSED OFF about the 1981 repeat as they only played it last year!... Loved all the rest from the past 2 weekends! :-) The 60s night was HELL, LOL... Video clips have been RARE which is GREAT but I would rather less video's and more added Countdown!
