Yum, breakfast music! Well, when breakfast is a bit of round steak smothered in onions and mozzarella with a strawberry/carrot smoothie. Too bad I don't yet have the gadgets to take this broadcast with me to the gym.

coupla good tunes on there. the Pixies, Big Country, Elvis Costello are great and that INXS song is my favorite by them and the Go-Go's are always nice to hear, but you lost me with Human League, Duran Duran and [*shudder*] A-Ha.
posted by jonmc 20 January | 17:41
Yeah, I'm catering to all tastes. :) The punk stuff's done, there's a bit of rap and then back into the (mostly) synth-driven stuff. Mostly.

(and Generation X is always good to remind us that Billy Idol was once cooler than hell)

That Naked Eyes track is not bad. But it's a cover of an old soul song. You can't really go wrong with good source material. Just like a lot of those Human League songs have good melodies but would sond better to me if they substituted guitar for those overbright synths and if the vocalists put a little gravel in their voices.
posted by jonmc 20 January | 19:31
I agree with your Human League idea... the first song I played was off of "Reproduction", which was released in 1979, is influenced by that wave happening at the time. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Heaven 17, Gary Numan.. all the clean, yet experimental sounds. The later Human League never really grabbed me, though I like the lyrics to 'Mirror Man'.
