Legowelt - Under the Panda Moon

October 29th, 2004 by Rachelandthecity

Imagine you’re running through a very generically European train station. Your surroundings tell you very little about which nation you currently occupy. It could be Germany, but you have no time to think that over because you realize you are wearing a denim jumper-thing with shoulder pads that are absolutely huge. Wait, it’s 1983… and you’re being chased by a demon. At least you think it’s a demon. He’s also wearing a jumper (doesn’t everyone?), leather with straps all over and shoulder pad mountains that lend a certain ridiculousness to his obvious super-evil. The demon-guy has a stupid silver mask somehow fused to the right side his face, covering one eye. You’d stop to laugh if he didn’t seem genuinely homicidal. Oh no! Now there are more of them, and one looks just like Rick James. It’s an early-80s, running-through-the-empty-new-wave-train-station demon apocalypse that’s being carried out in truly poor taste. And you’re right in the middle of it without that matchbook on which you wrote the telephone number for the fashion police.
