Current Favourite Six Songs
Jul. 15th, 2008 09:41 amLate of the Pier - Space and the Woods
Electro indie goodness, made by boys barely out of their teens. From the few tracks I've heard, they touch on A-ha, early Gary Numan and Visage, which is all-right for me. Makes me think of Flash Gordon; makes me want to dance.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
suzi, I could see you liking them if you don't know them already.
Cut Copy - Hearts on Fire
Gay disco for straight boys. Or straight-acting gay disco for gay-acting straight boys? Or just a whole load of New Order nostalgia diffused through Australian keyboards? Another call to the dancefloor.
The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
I'd have never paid attention to this band if there hadn't been a complaint ini_love_craig's journal. Now, with every listen, the song grows on me. It's a really great track for the gym, but I can also see potential for jumping around to it while drunk on cheap beer. Also, substituting the lyrics for these ones is hella fun:
Sisters of Mercy - This Corrosion
Is this song about The Lord of the Rings? I recommend the makers of the upcoming Hobbit include it in their soundtrack and use it when Bilbo steals Gollum's "precious". Gimme the ring. Gimme the ring...
The Adenoids - Speeding Jesus
La la la punk. I was washing the dishes last night when The Bee Gees' "Night Fever" came on. I saw myself in a roller disco, skating around the rink with the singer. And the guitarist is hella hot.
N-Trance - Set You Free
I lost the chance to go clubbing recently. I hate not having money, having to spend the weekend indoors. This song reminds me of taking E for the first time and Hong Kong's clubland. It also makes me think of this incredibly hunky janitor at the National Theatre, who in some parallel universe ran away with me to Ibiza. He had a track similar to this one on his mobile phone, and he wore one of those winter coats (popular in the eighties) with fake fur on its insides.

They call him Chris
They call him Love Muffin
They call him C.J.
That's not his name. That's not his name. That's not his name
