I NEED SONGS ABOUT TELEPHONES / ELECTRONICS

Postby Totally Admired » Sat Sep 17, 2005 6:31 am

I always love to build my dj sets around specific topics and this week I think I am going to tackle the task of doing an "electronics-clash" set. Any song suggestions. Here are a few i have so far:

1. The Nerves (or Blondie) - Hangin on the Telephone
2. Yaz - Bad Connection
3. Polecats - Make a Circuit with Me
4. Thomas Dolby - Commercial Breakup
5. Falco - Vienna Calling

wierd coincidence, right now i'm listening to:

"red frame/white light" by orchestral manouveres in the dark (it refers to the old UK telephone box)

also on the same album - "messages" & "electricity"


of course, you could also have songs by kraftwerk: computerworld, the telephone call, computer love etc...
