Bronski Beat & Marc Almond - I Feel Love (video)

Possibly the gayest video I've ever seen in my life - pure incredible 80s electro diva-off! A reminder of a time when gays were allowed to be flamboyant and femme and FIERCE! (haha, god, I've gone old skool gay)

Pentagram Sam - Da Grimston & Mist-E

♫ Redlight - Vampires (MP3)

I am a MASSSSIVE fan of Redlight's house-classiquESQUE Get out of my head which was released earlier this year - I even dropped it into my set at the last Bop and everyone seemed to LOVE IT!

So, I download the whole single when it was released and was pleasantly SHOCKED and SURPRISED to find a lovely minimal dancey MACABRE b-side called VAMPIRES. It's 3 minutes of SHEER joy to this goth's ears - weird electronics and lyrics about dancing in the dark, faces without colour and holy water.

I  think I enjoy 'dance music' in a different way to how you're supposed to - I find the sound of it a combination of emotionally desolate and also joyfully alluring on a very base level - the space in between is EMPTY VOID for you to fill! THAT SAID, I really enjoy this song without dressing it up or down. MORE FROM YOU LIKE THIS REDLIGHT!

Hunx - Private Room (video)

SO EXCITED about the return of HUNX to the UK - if anyone has any additional info on the two LDN dates, I'd be excited to hear it! the ROLLER DISCO sounds particularly exciting!

♫ Usher - Climax (MP3 - not direct)

when I first heard that USHER and DIPLO had worked on a track together, I was like OH MY GOSH 2.0 this is EXCITING expecting it to be all BANG-A-LANG-ER-Y - so on first play, I was really really like 'Oh'. On 2nd play, I was like 'Oh?'. Then on 3rd play I was like 'OH!!!!'. It's really minimal, haunting and totes emosh and I'm HOOKED. I have a soft spot for USHER due to all the gay rumors BUT also, cos he's a real pretty singer - EXCITED for his new stuff if this is how it's gonna be.

FACEBOOK EVENT (loads of info)

As you may or MAY NOT have been aware, the past year or so has been ALL ABOUT 90z revival - it's EVERYWHERE at the moment ESPESH in fashion, tumblr, and of course MUSIC! There's been loads of talk about a 90z rock revival - and to be honest, I've noticed - actually, I've not only noticed - I'M LOVING IT!

♫ Arc In Round - Spirit (MP3)
♫ Bleached - You Take Time (MP3)
♫ Cloud Nothings - No Future/No Past (MP3)
♫ Mind Spiders - Don't Let Her Go (MP3)
♫  Mr. Dream - Holy Name (MP3)
♫ NT - Same Old (MP3)
♫  Pop. 1280 - Bodies In The Dunes (MP3)
♫ Quilty - Strange Matter (MP3)
♫ Radical Dads - Skateboard Bulldog (MP3)
♫ Teen Witch - I Don't Mind (MP3)
♫ True Widow - Skull Eyes (MP3)
♫ Wax Idols - Dead Like You (MP3)

The only thing is that my main point of reference musically has always been the 90z and so,  I always manage to find a way to reference a new band/sound back to a 90z band - but for me, the 90z weren't ALL ABOUT NIRVANA/GRUNGE which seems to be the whole crux of what people are basing their comparisons on.

In actual fact, I think the sounds of the 90s I'm hearing are UK based bands - I'm gonna get all wine-connoisseury but I'm picking up notes of Sleeper, Subcircus, Kenickie, Lung Leg, early Idlewild, weirdly Supergrass, Skunk Anansie, Rocket from the Crypt, Helen Love and Bis from the above playlist of songs!

Of course, with any supposed reincarnation of a time/genre it's this generation's job to put their own spin on it and cut the out the dated dead wood - nearly all of these bands have that fuzzy DIY garage cassettte sound that's so de jour but they also have SO MUCH MORE BESIDES!

Although I've lumped these all into a 90z box, what I'm actually saying is that it seems like it's coming back into fashion to create well-crafted accessible exciting DIFFERENT sounding pop indie/rock - something that really set the 90z apart - I of course, being of eclectic taste (WRETCH) have enjoyed the last couple of decades' musical forays into the avant garde, deconstructed and experimental soundz - but I can't deny when I'm listening to these my spirit sings, WELCOME BACK OLD FRIENDZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
