Modern English - Mesh & Lace

Formed in Colchester, Essex, England, in 1979 by Robbie Grey (vocals), Gary McDowell (guitar, vocals), and Michael Conroy (bass, vocals),[2] Modern English was originally known as The Lepers. The group expanded to "Modern English" when Richard Brown (drums) and Stephen Walker (keyboards)were subsequently added to the line-up of the indie rock band.

A debut single, "Drowning Man" was released in 1980 on the Limp Records label. The band's full-length Mesh & Lace, released by 4AD Records a year later, drew heavily on the gloom rock sound already patented by bands such as Joy Division.

Depeche Mode

I got a gift certificate to fye one time and at this point i wasnt buying cds so got 2 dvds. One of those two was a bootleg DM bio/documentary from germany. It looks like a 5th grader made it using powerpoint but the interviews are really interesting and the anecdotes they tell make you feel like youre a part of them. Dave Gahan is to attractive to be straight, i know everyones like what wait, hes mad gay. Hes not, he lives with his third wife Jennifer, their daughter and Jennifer's son from a previous relationship. He also has a son from his first marriage. So i def have a chance.

also a founding memeber an integral part of DM is Vince Clarke. He is a synthesizer god. After leaving DM he went on to be in Yazoo, The Assembly and Erasure (andy bell is a queen among men).

The Chipmunks - Chipmunk Punk

The classic 1980 release by the three Chipmunks, thats Alvin, Simon and...THEODORE!!! Absolutely incredible stuff, covering tunes from some of the greatest punk bands, from Billy Joel to Blondie. I highly advise tracking down a vinyl copy, easily found in most ninety nine cents bins, for the complete mind-fuck that is playing 'My Sharona' at 45 speed! - Joe Western

Elton Motello

I first heard of the Elton Motello (a band originally founded by Alan Ward and Brian James (of the damned))version of "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" on one of the most wonderful Valentines Day compilations ever, A Date With John Waters I had previously heard covers like the one by chron gen. this one is just a lot poppier and well gayer.
the whole album is pretty good, and more rock n roll than the single.
anywho here it is:
