As suggested by Scott, the before:
And the after:
Just looking at the name of the artist and the hair in those still screens, I figured we were in for a Scottie Special. The songs, with their 80s revival sound, backed that up. I'm not going to lie - I've been hearing Bulletproof on the radio and it's totally stuck in my head.
For comparison - our amiga C-Mac has a similarly retro-sounding selection this week also. Do you prefer the La Roux selection or the Breakbot song? Do you dig the general style, or no?

This girl has grown on me! I used to hate her voice, but now I love that it's different. Her sound is poppy and uplifting. Great choices :)
ReplyDeleteMeh. Doesn't really do anything for me. I guess I'd say that if I wanted an 80's flashback, I would rather just listen to a good 80's song. Watching the video I just kept thinking, Molly Ringwald + Flock of Seagulls + Tetris/Rubik's cube.
ReplyDeleteQuick explanation of before/after:
ReplyDeleteIn for the Kill is about the protagonist(?) throwing herself into love with reckless abandon: "I hang my hopes out on the line / Oooh they'd be ready for you in time / If you leave them out too long / Oooh they'll be withered by the sun."
Bulletproof is about the protagonist(?) doing the opposite: "Been there, done that, messed around / I'm having fun don't put me down, / I'll never let you sweep me off my feet, / I won't let you in again."
I also really enjoyed these two lines:
From In for the Kill: "How far can you send emotions? / Oooh can this bridge cross the ocean?"
From Bulletproof: "Burnin' bridges shore to shore, / I'll break away from something more"
I guess that wasn't so quick, eh?
