I should be asleep. I have coffee with Mizz X at 2PM today. I better set my cell phone alarm.

I've been listening to a lot of synth pop these past few days. Yaz. Erasure. Early Depeche Mode. I just discovered "The Sparrows and The Nightingales," a song from the early 90s performed by Wolfsheim. It's the perfect song for a rainy day. I love the driving drum beat and those waves of synthesizers crashing just before the chorus. Check it out on YouTube.

I can't stop listening to "Nobody's Diary" by Yaz. Perfect British synth pop.

Keith has too much time on his hands. But so do I. I often do what he's talking about.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Remember "Pure" by The Lightning Seeds? What a great tune!
*
I might be wrong, but aren't most of Didi Menendez's blog comments curt and kinda of rude?
*
Does anybody else remember James? James was a British band from the 90s. I adored them.

I no longer think Bill Clinton is sexy.

You may like the new synth pop group "Fiction Company" then - http://www.myspace.com/fictioncompany
I just discovered them from the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack and was surprised they weren't an 80's group. Enjoy!

"What for! Tell me tell me what for."
Ah yes James.
I agree with you re: Didi Menendez's comments. Read the same comment, thought the same thing. Scary...
Oh, that's me! I am Mizz X! I feel bolstered by the mention.

James and their lead singer Tim Booth are the best! And their t-shirts!
James had a new album out this spring, Hey Ma. (See their big Wikipedia page.)
