Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America for legal reasons involving Yazoo Records) were a British synthpop duo from Basildon, Essex, England, consisting of former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke (keyboards) and Alison Moyet (vocals). Over their 18 month history, the duo made two critically acclaimed albums, Upstairs at Eric’s and You and Me Both, blending Clarke’s synthesizer melodies with Moyet’s blues-and soul-influenced vocals. Yazoo enjoyed worldwide success, particularly in their home country where three of their four singles reached the top three of the UK Singles Chart and both their albums made the top two of the albums chart. Their biggest North American hit, Situation, was originally only a B-side in the UK but was a club and airplay hit in the US and Canada before being released as the band’s debut single in North America.

The film was designed to be shown in theaters and had never been released for home video before.
When it comes to the Netflix original series Stranger Things, there are a seemingly endless supply of Easter Eggs and knowing nods to other movies and pop culture properties. In fact, it might be faster to list all the bits of the show that don’t actually refer to something else, rather than those that do. And that’s not all. Sometimes what looks like an Easter Egg — like Lucas’s collection of He-Man action figures and Maxine’s nickname of Mad Max — are actually just details that come from a show set in the 1980s. But in the interests of making your next rewatch more satisfying, here’s a not-anywhere-close-to-complete list of some of the more overt Easter Eggs you might’ve missed in Stranger Things Season 2. And before you get mad and open up your face with rage like the demogorgon, just remember: spoilers ahead…

Australian radio hosts Hamish & Andy put three people into total isolation room to see who could hit a buzzer most accurately at the one hour mark. It’s easy to vibe out one second without a clock, but one hour is a little more tricky. I would have been bored after the first minute, and hit the buzzer just to go back to checking my email.
