![[Listen] Wax Idols: "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" (Soft Cell Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4936786_lg.jpg)
Sin duda Wax Idols es una de mis bandas favoritas de la actualidad, así que aprovecharé de nueva cuenta para recomendarles ampliamente su más reciente disco titulado " Discipline & Desire ", el cual pueden adquirir con toda la calma del mundo a través de Slumberland Records , o en cualquiera de las vías digitales que sean de su preferencia. Pero bueno, hoy estoy aquí para hablarles de algo bastante padre que hizo Hether Fortune , la mente detrás de Wax Idols , ya que el día de ayer estuvo como invitada especial en la [...]
The good folk at Dangerous Minds are great at unearthing amazing YouTube rarities, and they outdid themselves last week with a 1971 performance by Ike and Tina Turner, which goes down in history as one of the most subtly filthy live performances we've ever seen — it's basically one long allusion to oral sex, with Tina spending most of her time doing very, very suggestive things to the microphone, and while Ike's ophidian glare still gives us the creeps, he does make some glorious slurping noises into his own mic. The crowd clearly knows exactly what's going on, [...]
Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: Today get your ears around Casco ’s absolute Italo classic from 1983. Cybernetic Love. And from 1981, Soft Cell ode to London, Bedsitter. You can buy most of this music from: [...]
Poner en duda el origen de una de las canciones más conocidas de New Order no es acusación cualquiera, pero vale la pena exponer el siguiente caso. En una aparición de Frank Zappa como DJ invitado en BBC Radio 1 por ahí de 1980 (y también en 1979 en un anuncio para la estación de radio WPIX en Nueva York y The Dick Cavett Show ), el también guitarrista presentó a Gerry & the Holograms , una banda formada por John Scott y CP Lee (de Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias , una banda de Manchester [...]
Los vestigios de Throbbing Gristle , la banda mas influyente del siglo pasado, anunciaron ayer el próximo lanzamiento doble de Industrial Records a cargo de lo que hoy se llama XTG - proyecto consecuente a la separación definitiva de Genesis Breyer P-Orridge del grupo- nombre bajo el cual se cobijaron Chris Carter , Cosey Fanni Tutti y Peter Christopherson para continuar la gira programada para Throbbing Gristle . Este anuncio generó ayer problemas entre los integrantes de [...]

KEXP's very own Kurt B. Reighley - perhaps better known to listeners as DJ El Toro - has written a delightful eBook on the life and times of nu-wave legends Soft Cell for Rhino Music's Single Notes series. Single Notes is a new series of digital short-form eBooks that focus on bands and albums that make lasting impact on pop culture, featuring such titles as Super Freak: The Last Days Of Rick James and Careless Memories of Strange Behavior: My Notorious Life as a Duran Duran [...]

![Hot Chip – In Our Heads [album review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4331622_lg.jpg)
It's groups like Hot Chip that make me optimistic about the current state of the music industry. This week, the London-based septet released their fifth full-length album "In Our Heads" on Domino Recording Co. and let me tell you, it's a beauty. In my opinion, Hot Chip have produced some of the best singles and LP's of the past decade and 'In Our Heads' only solidifies that thought in my head. As many artists (particularly electronic ones) in this day and age are ditching the album format for singles and EPs, [...]
It goes without saying that Suicide were immeasurably influential for the worlds of industrial, dance, and electronic music as a broad, brilliant whole. And with that kind of path-paving comes the need from the students of such a singular act to give a little back, as Soft Cell fittingly do here on the BBC. Foetus mastermind Jim Thirlwell, a.k.a. Clint Ruin, joins Marc Almond in channeling Alan Vega's cryptic, snarling aura, both rendering with an amphetamine sheen the Suicide classic "Ghost Rider" into something approaching a dance-floor-enticing "Frankie Teardrop" (mainly through Thirlwell's flailing shouts). Wild and cathartic:
Following up their debut single " The Beach " we have the video for London duo Age Of Consent 's newest single, "Heartbreak". The track is oozing with a dark 80s-esque goth-pop vibe, much like that of Information Society, Soft Cell or Depeche Mode. As you may already know, the band is comprised of former Shitdisco members Joe Reeves and Darren Cullen. The duo are currently prepping for the launch of "Heartbreak", which will be availabe on June 11th with a launch show following after that on the 13th with T.W.I.N.S. There will also be a show this coming [...]
clash of the 80's new wave pop titans Soft Cell - Tainted Love Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =t-csYs5w7iY
Ah, I love this. Age of Consent, originally from the Glasgow school of art and now based in London have a new single coming out called Heartbreak due for release this June. Combining all the synth driven post punk and new wave stuff from the 80s like Soft Cell and The Normal and collaborating with Luke Smith who has worked with Foals and Depeche Mode previously, it's pop with a dark undertone.

Blech, it's late and I am only just sitting down at my desk, so apologies for being a little behind on things. I didn't sleep in or anything, I promise, I've just been running around like a blue-arsed fly doing assorted domestic shit. Mrs. Toad kindly reminded me that, as well as a record label and a bunch of bands, I also happen to have a wife so this weekend I might make a bit of an effort to be a slightly more attentive husband that I might have been recently. Apart from recording with Dolfinz on Saturday [...]
După ceva pauză de rubrică, uitaţi că eu n-am uitat să uit că există. Aşadar... alte două cântece, de data asta nu e coveruri, ci e melodii originale de-adevăratelea, adică de cine le-o cântat prima dată, sau a doua oară cel şi cel mai bine. Dar tot are legătură cu coveruri pentru că ele este celebre din cauza lor. Oke, sper că v-aţi prins care-i treaba... Acum să purcedem! 1. Lead Belly - In The Pines Cunoscută de marea majoritate sub numele de [...]
