Does anyone have any synth-pop recommendations?

Thanks to Freezepop's Plastic Stars, I believe this will be the next phase in my musical evolution.

So far, I've gotten Ladytron, Fischerspooner, Bat for Lashes, aaand some older stuff, like Tears for Fears and Depeche Mode...

Give me the goods.

Merry early Christmas my friends. This year, I'm not really in the spirit. I'm not sure why... maybe because this house doesn't feel like home? But even last year when we were in the rental I was more excited than this. Because it's never been all about presents with me, I'm excited about the presents, but the rest of it... I haven't even watched ( Read more... )

I step into the bathroom, the air thick and hot filling my unexpectant lungs. I'd left the water running for about thirty minutes, I was so caught up in reading... the walls and every surface are sweating, as am I. I examine my breasts in the mirror, the left is slightly larger than the right, which has resulted in an almost comical tan line. No ( Read more... )

Warning

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public ( Read more... )

“Um, bright.” Tess replied, tossing another rock into the sherbet waves.

“Well, duh. But really… it looks like He slit His wrists in a bathtub, and ( Read more... )

On my flight to Indiana last week, I was surrounded by children. When flying, you kind of come to expect having an annoying kid around… but I had three. From different families. And all of them had the same disciplinary method: ignore them. It was terrible. I couldn’t turn my music up loud enough. Ah, I almost forgot. One of them was ill. And you ( Read more... )

On mornings like these, she never wanted to get up. This was one of the very few times she didn’t need music to sleep. The rain was music. She could lie there forever; listening to it hit her window, hoping it would hail. Hoping someone would come to keep her warm. Warm in her bed, with her faithful fluffy companion, she knew she had to get up… as ( Read more... )

When I came home from work yesterday, my fish had died. I remembered when I was a kid, on tv, they always said to flush it... since I had believed that all that time, I didn't see anything wrong with it, but I realize now that we're sending all of our dear pet fish down with our sewage, and our... waste. It's disgusting really. I think if we can ( Read more... )
