They say that ‘If you don’t know where you came from, you’ll never get to where you’re going’. But if you don’t know where you’re going you’ll probably end up in the bad part of town & get your Italian leather boots stolen. What does it all mean?
I means it’s New Wave Tuesday. And I know, why New Wave Tuesday & not New Wave Tuesday or Thursday? There are no days that start with an ‘N’ so it doesn’t matter which day it’s on. Right? RIGHT.
Here’s some of my favorite gems from under the dance floor:
Gary Numan – Me! I disconnect from you
Bollock Brothers – Harley David, Son of A Bitch (Recommended)
B52’s – Legal Tender
Tuxedomoon – What Use?
Units – Digital Stimulation
Boy Don’t Cry – I wanna Be A Cowboy
Pulsallama – Devil Lives in My Husbands Body (Recommended)
Ectomorph did a remix of the Tuxedomoon track on an a 12″ released by International Deejay Gigolo Records. Chicks on Speed did a cover of the B-52’s “Gimme back My Man’ & Tiga has covered a few new wave classics such as ‘Sunglasses at Night’ & ‘Burning Down The house’.
I think all of these tracks would be good for covers & or lend well to remixing. All you bedroom producers out there fire up your Ableton & get to work.
I want some Mp3s on my desk by Friday!
I got my Pulsallama 7″ for six dollars off ebizzle. Most of these other tracks can be found there or if not, hit up Gemm.
