I'm a big fan of Group Xex's - Fashion Hurts, keepin' it minimal but fun enough to lace up them dancing shoes yo momma blessed you with. The NY Models - Fashion has got a suave Hi-NRG curve to it and all the rest you can expect from Bobby O's genius, not as epic as their Love on Video track, but still pretty choice. Ummmm.. Belgian minimal awesomeness = Bene Geserit's - Fashion Is a Dirty Word, Swedish Via Tokyo's - Man I uniform (weirdly just listening to) rocks it pretty hard too a la swede. Judy Nylon did a very cool beatniky no wave track called shopping for clothes... The Beach Bullies - Window Shopping is comped on one of them swanky messthetic comps more on the diy side.... But nothing says it as sassy as Partly Cloudy's Fucked, among other fetishisms they so kindly address...

Got more but me is about to pass out

By the way Hi! Im the new new waver on the block, very unfortunately a 90's baby (verry late 80s to be exact but do those even count for you?) seeking help from you gurus to peice up my zonky past life with some good songs n stories.

And Id also very much like to get in on this members only hub a dub dub action and swap some digital love.

Happy every day is a holiday, heres a nice little combo

Partly Cloudy - Fucked!

"Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!" is one of my all-time favorite lyrics (really!!). [:D]
So reminiscent of our days at Skoochies, KYYX!


Also, how about "Lipstick" by Suzi Quattro (does she count?).

It's Still Rock and Roll to Me - Billy Joel (during his foray into New Wave)

"What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
Welcome back to the age of jive
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money...

...How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants?
You could really be a Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers..."
__________
BTW, what are sidewinders???

"Beatle Boots" - anybody remember this song?

I can't remember who the artist is, but I'm pretty sure it was one of the southern (Georgia, North Carolina) powerpop groups, like The dBs, Lovetractor, something like that.
