It's a Disco Potluck and Goldfrapp Brings the Cheese!

This is "Rocket", the super-80's sounding new single from Goldfrapp's new album "Head First". Gotta say, it's pretty cheesy, but in a good way. Also it kind of sounds like "Jump" by Van Halen. It's nice to see the group getting back to making dance music, but without repeating itself. (Also, Seventh Tree was actually a terrific album)
So enjoy this track, I will post the retro-riffic video when it becomes more widely available.

Those Kids Today!

"I hate the popular music they play nowadays. The videos are mostly R&B, over sexualized, and there to promote some arrogant asshole with a ego. (see video)

Speaking of youth, do they bother to listen to stuff that isn't on MTV anymore?

I was into Hendrix, Joplin, Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath when i was 14 years old. As did most kids my age back in the 90's.

Do kids nowadays still bother?"
-Actual Youtube post. All line breaks are original.

One of my greatest fears is becoming that bitter old guy who sits around at bars, or concert venues and does nothing but bitch about how music was so much better back when he was a kid. Actually, these guys aren't at bars and clubs anymore, they're on youtube. And in most cases they're not that old (maybe 30-35). They are so concerned with how the "emo generation" (Whatever that is) is ruining music they feel compelled to seek out the music of these "inferior" modern artists and slather all over message boards with their self-righteous, holier-than-thou ranting.

You know what dude? No one cares that you don't understand today's music. No one is going to change their listening habits because some 34 year old loser told them they don't know what "real emo" is because they were too young to see Husker Du play their first concert (Oh like you were actually there. Fuck you, you were more interested in listening to Sound Garden in 93. Admit it.)

And furthermore, half the stuff you thought was so cool when you were 15 is embarrassing now. I bet you still have pictures of yourself with a bad bleach job, wearing your dad's flannel shirt because you'd just seen "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on MTV, and went a little overboard. It's okay, man. That's what teenagers do. Eventually our tastes broaden and mature and we grow out of certain things. Surely you can remember how dumb, impressionable, and not to mention, desperate to fit in you were at that age.

Don't you for one second think you're any better than a 15-year old girl in a My Chemical Romance hoodie just because you grew out of your melodramatic phase over a decade ago. This is one of the purest things she will ever experience, why don't you let her enjoy it. Just because you're bitter and disillusioned doesn't mean you need to make everyone else miserable.

And shes wearing sunglasses made of cigarettes. Awesome!

I don't know what prison Gaga is in in that video but i wouldn't mind getting locked up there.

And Speaking of Electro Bands with Sassy Female Vocalists...

Get a load of New Young Pony Club, another new favorite of mine.

SOHODOLLS Bring Sex Back to Rock and Roll, But This Time, For the Ladies.

Sohodolls' song "Stripper" may be familiar to fans of "Gossip Girl", but many of us stateside are just finding out about the group, despite the fact they haven't released an album in 3 years. Luckily, this means you all have plenty of time to experience their enticing blend of sex, danger and trashy electro-glam.

The band look like close cousins of London garage-goth howlers the Horrors. Their sound is more polished but no less sinister. Lead singer Maya Von Doll, know for frequently performing with no more than a strip of black tape across her breasts, spits lines with a sassy, come-and-get me purr. But there's also a hint of venom and a sharp wit that could easily crush any man.

It's rare that a female vocalist takes on the role of sexual aggressor. Female pop singers, while leaning towards more risque material, still play the role of submissive, willing to please sex doll. Listening to Von Doll's delivery, you get the sense she'd fuck you and then rob you blind, leaving you handcuffed naked to a radiator in an empty apartment. And you'd still call her back the next day. She's the type plenty of guys fantasize about, but, in reality would be terrified of.

Likewise, the music mixes pounding dance beats and bouncy synths with doom-and-gloom guitars and old fashioned glam-punk swagger.
I don't know when the band plans to release a new album, so if you're itching for something trashy and fun, check out their 2007 album "Ribbed Songs for the Numb Generation" and take a gander at the video for "Stripper". I will warn you: this is NSFW, though it's nothing really explicit.
