#40 Retroland (stars on 45)

Okay this was a real walk down memory lane.

Retroland describes itself as a social networking site where you can connect with others who have the same (embarassing!) memories about their past.

The site is very american - almost all the foods in the food tabs were unknown to me or known only to me via (bad) american tv sitcoms.

The music tab brought back some 70s memories - Bay City Rollers (long stripey sox, tartan trews, platform shoes), The Sweet, Abba, T-Rex, and so on.

Couldn't find much australian music (unless you count the bee gees) apart from ac/dc; no Sherbet or Skyhooks for example.

Not sure how we'd use retroland in a library sense, unless we were having a themed 70s (or 60s, or 80's) activity and wanted to capture the era.
