well, i just posted about the new fischerspooner. and i'm loving the new daft punk too, they (like all the other class of 2001-02 electro bands) are incorporating guitars into their stuff now. and i never got on here and said how much i loved felix da housecat's last cd, "devin dazzle"- so 80's it hurts. the two new kylie minogue singles are fantastic, one sounding like a lost kim wylde single. of course gwen stefani's l.a.m.b. cd even has new order and wendy and lisa on it, so you know what it sounds like. i love it for it's sheer disposability.
now, if you like more guitars in the mix i'd recommend any of the new crop of neo-wave bands like interpol, the killers, hot hot heat, franz ferdinand, etc. oh! you know who i think is great? louis xiv. their cd is fantastic, and weird, and catchy, and mixed all under-produced. fab.

yep, you old fogies CAN enjoy music from today! so put away that haircut one hundred cassette and come into the now.

Taste has nothing to do with age. We like good music, that's all. Most of the bands you mention, you certainly have a right to your taste and opinion, but IMO, they don't really have that much of an 80s feel to me. Not that I care, since any connection to

I've only been coming to this forum for about a year, but if there's one thing I've noticed it's that the NWO alumnus (or "old fogies" as it's been put) pretty consistently acknowledge the likes of the Ferdinands, Interpols and Fischerspooners. The concen

I guess the next music revolution will be a new genre that does not sound like anything else that has been done already. Until this happens, all bands will be "aping" some type of music style or another.

As far as new stuff, I really really like Interpol. That song Slow Hand is awesome. Franz Ferdinand is pretty cool too.

I enjoy a lot of new stuff -- Fischerspooner, Interpol, The Faint, Franz, The Killers, Electric Six, The Bravery, VHS or Beta... (especially check out VHS or Beta, the guy sounds SO MUCH like Robert Smith it's scary), but I'll always be partial to the old

Someone who knows me well suggested I listen to The Killers. While I do think they have a nice sound with a bit of synth in there, I have to be honest like some of the other folks and just say that mimicking the 80's isn't necessarily what I'm after. I

Don't forget The Rapture. A little like Talking Heads meet The Cure.

LCD Soundsystem have a little 80's and disco vibe. I also second the nomination of VHS or Beta.

Most of Electroclash obviously spawns from the New Wave era sounds as well.
