Post-Punk New Wave Super Friends

To make up for my not giving you all a post yesterday afternoon, here's an extra one for today. This made the rounds on the Internet a couple weeks ago, but it's definitely relevant for the purposes of this blog. Also, I think the Ian Curtis and Siouxsie Sioux ones are awesome, in particular. I would have liked to have seen a Peter Murphy one, but we can't have everything.

Blondie - "Rapture"

One great thing about New Wave is how unafraid musicians are of trying new things. Blondie's "Rapture" is a textbook example of this, considering she was happy to put rap in it.


Covenant - "We Stand Alone" (live)

This is a nice video for "We Stand Alone". It doesn't look like your average live feed from a cell phone.


Skipped Update

My apologies for omitting the afternoon update for Sunday. Sunday was kind of chaotic, and I simply forgot to make the update. I will post something later to make up for it and fill in the slot.

Emilie Autumn - "306" (live)

Emilie Autumn sure knows how to put on a show. If you don't already know the meaning behind this song, too, you definitely should look it up.

Depeche Mode - "Enjoy the Silence"

Old and sappy. Enjoy.


Jim Semonik and Prometheus Burning - "Malignant Disco"

This song was part of a compilation album called Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music to Cure Cancer. Proceeds from this 2010 album were donated to cancer charities. As far as I know, there's a second album out, too, and they're asking for submissions for a third. If you want to know more about this cause, go here.
