More list fun. Buzzfeed forever.
Electric Youth - The Best Thing
Was this on the Drive soundtrack? If not it should've been. Synthwave at its finest, mate.
The Space Lady - Synthesize Me
Weirdo synth pop from the western fringes of America. Proper outsider stuff, lovely stuff, think Flo played this on an NTS Breakfast show. I live for breakfast shows.
Sananda Maitreya - Wishing Well
A cornerstone of the mumbanger scene. Also, I completely missed when he changed his name from Terence Trent D'Arby.
Bruce Springsteen - I'm on Fire
A Do!! You!!! staple, kinda surprised this is the first Bruce track I've posted in 13 years doing this blog.
Mathew Lee Cothran and Delaney Mills - Better Off Alone
Weird how your reaction to pop music changes over time, especially the stuff that came out when you're a teenager. I properly fist pumped to ATB's 9pm (Till I Come) in the drive down to Cornwall the other day and now here I am posting a lo-fi indie cover of Alice Deejay's Better Off Alone. I couldn't stand either track at the time but here we are.
Isa Gordon - Parting Game
Token entry of something released in 2022 in one of these 9 in 1 lists. That's harsh, this is proper good, sprawling intricate electronic head music, released on Optimo's label.
Der Plan - Hey Baby Hop
Prankster-ish German new wave from 1984. I am who I am, and I like what I like.
Dry Cleaning - Conservative Hell
Am I part of the meal deal? Yeah, I'm fully on board with Dry Cleaning now.
Joe & The Shitboys - Manspredator
Vegan queer punk band from the Faroe Islands? Yes please!
