Talking Sweet About Nothing

Here are a few quick comments about some of the songs currently on the radio blog.

She Wants Revenge - One could easily write them off as a late comer to the 80s revival, but whereas all of them are heavily indebted to New Order and Depeche Mode, SWR is the first that I've heard that captures the sadness of their predecessors and can still keep it danceable.

For Against - We had a copy of their album, December, at the KTXT studios, where I worked during college. I should have stolen it because it took me years to find a used copy. Apparently, it had gone out of print. Even after listening to this album for a few years I am still suprised that this band came out of Lincoln, Nebraska. I would have sworn they were British. Bloc Party fans, take note!
