I've been really into Italo-Disco at the moment. I blame the boyfriend. It's a good type of blame though, like a happy blame, a blame you would impose upon a hairdresser after they give you a good haircut (this is obviously a hypothetical - this never happens) "I blame you for my fabulous new do!"

Lazertits! È lunedì mattina, c'è l'ora legale e sono in Italia. Tiriamoci su e diamoci una bella svegliata a colpi di laser! LAZERTITS , è già mania. Bonus track: Laserdance - Power Run (1987)

Kunkers recently held a so-called 'bad-italo' themed dive bar party which was a total hoot. In doing some research for the gig I stumbled across Laserdance . For me they were an (awesome) novelty.

Ten minutes of bonkers off-kilter post-rock neo-classical kazoo-assisted [...]
Þetta er algjör klisja, en flestir italo pródúserarnir voru fiktandi í endalausum öðrum prójectum undir endalausum öðrum nöfnum, enda margir þá búnir að vera í allskonar stúdíó- og sessionvinnu, fikta í paunkböndum og eignast börn og kaupa hús og safna skeggi og þannig veseni, og það er bæði ástæðan fyrir magninu sem kemur frá þeim sumum (og hvers konar mega-maskínur þeir eru), og því að lögin eru f*kkíng góð...alvöru músík, skiluru. Ég er ekkert að velja einhverja ofvirka gaura, heldur eru kláru gaurarnir bara útum allt, með puttana í öllu! Enníveis: Cyber People [...]
