New Wave Outpost Forum

Okay, now let's see once we take a look what may be our current favorites.

Top ten played ITunes Tracks! You know the Itunes software tracks it. Me--I'm predominantly a Shuffle player, so mine may be not as interesting, but when I look at that list, I sometimes go hmmmm. . .

So, this could get interesting, especially for those of you who don't look at it--

1. Sunset--Kate Bush-- 45 times
2. Bigmouth Strikes Again--Smiths--36 times
3. Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth--Sparks--32 times
4. Under Ice--Kate Bush--31 times
5. Revenge--Ministry--31 times
6. The Trick Is To Keep Breathing--Garbage--29 times
7. Love To Hate You--Erasure--28 times (okay. How did this one get in here? )
8. Everyday Is Like Sunday--Morrissey--28 times
9. Since Yesterday--Strawberry Switchblade--28 times
10. Standing There--Creatures--27 times

Hmm. I'm surprised. I expected more exclusive album tracks and only two (and by the same artist. Granted I'm a LoveHound, but that's besides the point)-- of course, by playing Shuffle more often and having lots of compilations . . . I've also had my Ipod for a year and a half and I play it all the time and I expected more plays overall (only 45 for #1?!)

1. Dream On (Dave Clark Acoustic Version)/Depeche Mode-64
2. A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)/Romeo Void-47
3. Nightbird/Stevie Nicks-44
4. Beauty and the Beast/Stevie Nicks-35
5. Secrets/The Cure-32
6. A Night Like This/The Cure-31
7. In Your House/The Cure-31
8. Push/The Cure-29
9. Precious/Depeche Mode-28
10. A Way/The Bolshoi-27

For having this in your top 10, I commend you. I absolutely loved that album. "Good Stuff" is by far my favorite track on there...and I love the way the band is never afraid to show their new wave roots.

Props, man.

Too bad they decided to break up. I really enjoy the album and some of the remix work they have done. There's a statement about the band throwing in the towel on their website.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song so very much! I don't have an iPod or an mp3 player, so I just push repeat on my stereo a lot when I play it. I can't get enough of this song.[8D]

The video for it is quite nice as well. I've converted it for use on my video iPod, so I can post it if anyone wants it.

I recommend a song called "Shoot The Model" by Bang Bang. Forget trying to find it on vinyl or CD as it is out of print. I just ordered a used copy from Denmark. You can find it on a couple of compilations though. When it arrives, I'll digitize it and post it for you.

KYYX, have you listened to Cut Copy at all? I think you'll like them since you're digging the Presets.
