La Roux

Been listening to this album for a couple of weeks and its bloody addictive! I realize lots wont like her voice and could find it irritating but I just love it. They are very 80s electropop influenced without ever descending in pastiche and I can hear everything from Erasure to Human League in the mix. Her mum is June from "The Bill" apparently. Love this song in particular, right down to the Memphis influenced design and Loreal Studio Line shampoo bottle/Mondrian jacket!

It's alot better than Littleboots!
Speaking of 80s electropop I brought the new A-ha album over the weekend, it's pretty damn good, infact all 4 albums they've done since they reformed have been very good!

Morten still has the most beautiful male voice in pop and still manages to look yummy despict being 50 now!

Some A-ha new and old.

From the latest.



From Analogue 2005 (probably the best song of there comeback).



From Lifelines 2002



From Minor Earth, Mayor Sky 2000 (Morbid Vid!)



An old classic!

In for The Kill is a good track but I prefer the Caspa Dubstep remix to the original. Bulletproof is OK.

However, I can't stand her - she's obnoxious. Saw them live @ Glasto and was utterly underwhelmed. The performance personality of a brick.
