10 New Wavish Whatnots & Folderols<\/p>\n
Farney Jacobite Nunchuck Tetrazine Faust here filling in for J. Kevin Anderson. He wanted me to do this blog entry for him because he doesn’t know how to use YouTube and is still over in the corner crying about how the vinyl LPs he used to buy used for $3.00 are now marked up about 800%, and that it’ll be a tepid day in the deepest pit of Hell before he’ll spend $30 on a reissue of\u00a0 Talking Heads’\u00a0 “Remain In Light.”<\/p>\n
According to AllMusic: “During the late ’70s and early ’80s, New Wave was a catch-all term for the music that directly followed punk rock; often, the term encompassed punk itself, as well. In retrospect, it became clear that the music following punk could be divided, more or less, into two categories — post-punk and new wave. Where post-punk was arty, difficult, and challenging, new wave was pop music, pure and simple. It retained the fresh vigor and irreverence of punk music, as well as a fascination with electronics, style, and art. Therefore, there was a lot of stylistic diversity to new wave.”<\/p>\n
According to Ralph Wiggum: “My cat’s breath smells like cat food.”<\/p>\n
As far as New Wave artists go, many might think… Devo! Oingo Boingo! The B-52’s! Indeed they are! But here’s some other stuff Kevin and I enjoy that also considers itself quite likable. You can HOWL to stuff like this and also stuff that is nothing like this at all on Thursday nights from 6 to 9 on KKSM.<\/p>\n
