SKWBN, rocking like bastards

Tonight’s top new tune was yet another Swedish indie combo, Suburban Kids With Biblical Names. It was the goirgeous ‘Loop Duplicate My Heart’ and it’s yet another example of how Sweden is now the king, queen and kong of all things indiepop. Because I love you, you can be lazy and have a listen to it by clicking here. And then pretend to your hipster friends that you’re fully down with the happening Swedie Indish scene. G’wan!

Kraftwerk, rocking like bastards

The best old track tonight was obviously Kraftwerk’s ‘Computer Liebe.’ Kraftwerk have never done a bad track but I played this one because of the sham of a mockery of a travesty er, heartfelt tribute that is Coldplay’s ‘Talk.’ Hearing the original in all its splendour only confirms Kraftwerk’s genius. This track is also from the best album ever, ‘Computerwelt.’ Even though it’s twenty-four years old now, contemporary megastars are still ripping it off and it informs every modern genre, from whingey indie through microsound to hip hop. Let us bow down before Kraftwerk and beg to kiss the hem of their garments.
