and NYC?.... Peaches stood on stage at Exit—alone but for a backup dancer—wearing black leather panties and a halter top and screaming about fucking the pain away. Wendy O. Williams had her chainsaw, Peaches has an oversized neon dildo; both, when brandished, represent the same nihilistic essence. In the late '70s and early '80s, DIY was an excuse to play guitars, badly. Today, the same ethic is pouring forth from keyboards. Village Voice (2001)
alas, Electroclash has taken off. Any comments?

Song you would most like to hear covered by artist of your choice.
I couldn't think of a more concise title. But anyways, I thought of this thread because I really wanted to hear The Fiery Furnaces cover Mother Whale Eyeless by Eno. Damn, I think that would be such a good song.
What would be your fantastical song/band combination?

What about Working For A Nuclear Free City? They're a good modern indie band.
(note: the rason they aren't on the list is because they've only got one album at this point, which I don't think is enough for a band that is still going)

I've heard half of those Norman Records list... some of them are really good and glad they're giving deserved attention to some ignored records but there's also some boring ones in there. At any rate these sort of 'non-zeigeist' lists are always better than the consensus ones. Yeah we all love Lemonade but I prefer finding out about records I might have overlooked instead of the ones we've talked about all year.
