Over the last year or so I have rediscovered new wave music of the 80s and early 90s.  This renewed interest brought me to Boys Noize.  Today's track is taken from the recently released Polarity  album (written +/-). This song reminds me of that hard 80s electro sound and as such it stood out from all the other stuff I was listening to this week.   Don't get fooled by my bout of nostalgia, it is still very much a modern piece of heavy electro techno. But the gritty sound is blending well with Anne Clark, Front 242, Rheingold or Grauzone. Boys Noize - Close https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKZnjnSdqdI

Dancing does not come naturally to me.  A slight intoxication helps a lot to get me going. Maybe soon I will do some moves on the dance floor while this is in the mix. Public Service Broadcasting - People, Let's Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0MTqhf9xPo

Whaaaat?  Suddenly this is number 150 in this series which started way back in 2018. No music today, just comedy about music from the grandfather of metal Brian Posehn. Brian Posehn Hates Kid Rock & Imagine Dragons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXJRcRBsq8

Getting out of here for a couple of days to recharge my batteries. This song makes me long for those long road trips through the States.  It's been over a year and a half since I've been Stateside, a first in over 2 decades.  Playing music like this while driving a straight road for hours on end is the definition of pure bliss an makes me long to be back.

And now for a classic song which I totally forgot about until I heard another song from the same album (And the Same).  This band and maybe this song seems to have defined the sound of punk and emo bands all over the world for the last 25 years.
