New Wave Outpost Forum

I picked up this month's Q, dedicated to the Eighties. The magazine is shit, but there is a great cover of "Lets' Dance" by The Futureheads. Here is the song list:

1. Orson - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
2. The Futureheads - Let's Dance (David Bowie cover, specially recorded for Q)
3. Boy Kill Boy - It's Different For Girls
4. Neal Casal - Wishing Well (Terence Trent D'Arby cover, specially recorded for Q)
5. Lorraine - Heaven
6. Cord - Spirits In The Material World
7. Boy Least Likely To - Faith (George Michael cover, specially recorded for Q)
8. Teddy Thompson - Don't Dream It's Over (Crowded House cover, specially recorded for Q)
9. Catherine Feeny - I'm On Fire
10. Kelley Stoltz - Heaven Up Here
11. Camera Obscura - Modern Girl (Sheena Easton cover, specially recorded for Q)
12. Clayhill - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
13. Katie Melua - Just Like Heaven
14. Placebo - Running Up That Hill
15. Elf Power - Upside Down

Give it a listen if you can find it.

That sounds great Beats. I love it when the Next Wave pays homage to (just heard it being called for the first time the other day as) the First Wave. I'll go to my local Barnes & Nobles today.

And PLEASE don't forget to check out Grant Lee Phillips' "Nineteeneighties". It's also available on itunes. Great, great stuff... His rendition of New Order's Age of Consent is terrific.

Also check out "New Wave Undercover" a two CD set released through A Different Drum (label) which features current synth-pop and electro bands covering new wave classics. Then there's always Nouvelle Vague for some cool lounge takes on new wave. Rock!

Hi there.

Although these sound great and once a magazine is off the newstand, is there a way to order the CDs from Q (not the Trek prankster)?
