Indie is dead

Me and Emily came to this conclusion in a 'study' lesson. With the whole 80's revival going on it means not only is everyone prancing about in jumpsuits, leotards and batwinged tops but Disco is back! Electro, disco and rave is what it's all about de nos jours. I'm kind of happy about it, it's opened up a whole new musical world for. I'm listening to more electro than ever before, dub step, rave and I'm even starting to venture into stuff like Dizzy and Chipmunk!! My 'recently added' playlist is bursting at the seems with soulwax remixes, dub step remixes and The Prodigy. I'm finding it all really exciting. Everyone seems to be coming back with electro pop albums, Jack Penate, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs etc.....
Speaking of Jack, anyone heard his new single? Brilliant isn't it?! It's better than the first in my opinion. I can't find anywhere that it's being streamed yet, but here's a live vid of it:

Album wise I'm addicted to the new Golden Silvers album (True Romance) and also the new Prodigy album (Invaders must Die), it's perfect for the gym, it makes your workout go about ten million times quicker!

Also new Florence tune is a treat, although in my opinion, slightly overproduced, it's in true Florence style but still it's GREAT epecially with the whole rave revival thing happening, I think it has a real 90's rave feel to it, it'll be AMAZING to hear at a festival!

Here you go, have listen if you haven't already, I CAN'T WAIT for the video, I've seen the pictures, there's coffins, pigs heads, tunics and all sorts!

In conclusion, ditch boring Indie bands like 'The Pigeon Detectives' and 'The Enemy' and enter a new journey of dance music and electro pop music because that's where it's at right now. Listen to radio shows like 'Annie Mac's Mash up' and your head will be filled with new ideas!

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far, and to every who's got exams (like me) Good luck!!
