Hey, Blir, that would be swell! [;)][:p] Like you travel with your hard drive in your suitcase...

At least you'll have some good weather up here, after the hideously cold and wet May we had.

BTW, I never told you how much I enjoyed your photo essay of NYC last month. The photos were beautiful and well composed, and the new wave commentary provided the perfect real-time accompaniment.

Oh stop! [:I] And not everyone travels with their hard drives?? Seriously, I'll have it with me....the Jackson Labs researchers are huge music fans sharing their iTunes networks all day long at work. It's going to be a mega swap meet! [^] Email me if interested...or not if this internet stuff is too creepy ya know?

The Sounds and Stimulator are definitely worth checking out.

I don't think these have been mentioned yet:

<a href="http://www.theprids.com/" target="_blank">The Prids</a> (like New Order meets My Bloody Valentine)

<a href="http://www.artbrut.org.uk//" target="_blank">Art Brut</a> (raw, catchy powerpop a la Buzzcocks)

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/sovietboy" target="_blank">Soviet</a>
(awesome OMD-inspired electro)

<a href="http://www.theaeffect.com/" target="_blank">The Aeffect</a>
(If you like The Faint, you should like them too)

<a href="http://www.hinthint.org/site/" target="_blank">Hint Hint</a>
(Synth-heavy post-punk with vocals similar to Placebo's.)

<a href="http://www.everymoveapicture.com/" target="_blank">Every Move a Picture</a> Danceable rock from San Francisco.

<a href="http://www.thefeveronline.com/" target="_blank">The Fever</a> (Catchy, punky mix of new wave, glam, hair metal, and powerpop)

<a href="http://morthemvladeart.chez.tiscali.fr/" target="_blank">Morthem Vlade Art</a> Excellent European dark electro.

<a href="http://www.misskittin.com/" target="_blank">Miss Kittin</a>
(Miss Kittin and the Hacker is one of the greatest retro-sounding albums out there, especially if you love robotic/monotone female vocals)

<a href="http://www.lostsounds.net/" target="_blank">Lost Sounds</a>
One of my personal favorite bands. Extremely raw, loud garage-synth (?) music. If you like The Screamers or Nervous Gender, check them out.

<a href="http://www.theepoxies.com/" target="_blank">The Epoxies</a>
Just plain awesome. Their live shows feature a keytar, lasers, and lots of retro clothing and duct tape.

<a href="http://www.movingunits.net/" target="_blank">Moving Units</a> (incredibly danceable post punk with awesome basslines (think Gang of Four's Damaged Goods)

<a href="http://www.thelovemakers.com/" target="_blank">The Lovemakers</a> I cannot say enough good things about these guys. They're a local synthpop band (local to me anyway; from Oakland) who are blowing up here and soon all over the country. And they started out as essentially a Cure cover band. If you live in LA or the Bay Area, they have residencies at Club Moscow in Hollywood and Cafe DU Nord in SF... easily one of the most fun live shows around!


...and I'll be seeing <a href="http://www.lostdetective.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite</a> on Friday. They sound like Belle and Sebastian gone new wave.
