Blood Bros make mixtapes of the best of 80s action movie soundtracks. Part 2.

I liked this, and then I heard the Wet Hot American Summer song, and then I liked it even more.

I played this mixtape while watching this GTA Vice City walkthrough on mute. The memories...

I'm surprised they didn't include anything from Commando. That James Horner soundtrack, I was recently reminded, is a steel drum and saxophone masterpiece.

For a split second I thought that The Blood Brothers had reformed as a DJ act. Now I have a sad.

...just you wait, the thread over on boingboing mentions (in the comments) that they're working on a part three! I'd love to see Commando included, and some of the Silvestri music from Predator would work pretty well as a finale/cooldown too.

This is fantastic. The links seem to be down right now, but you can also download the two mixes on soundcloud here.

Holy shit, that was the best ever. I listened to both tracks and now I feel like I can CONQUER THE WORLD.

This seemed like ideal house-cleaning music, so I put it on to do just that. At first, I thought my experiment was failing because fist-pumping dominated my activities for a while. However, upon reaching an equilibrium of 80's and coffee, I can confirm that this is the best of all possible cleaning soundtracks.

Next: sex.

THAT WAS AWESOME. Now I must grow a mullet, kick a palm tree with my shins, and jump from an exploding pickup truck onto the skid of a helicopter piloted by Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus.
