Thoughtful, largely introspective Alt Classix selections for July 2012 podcast.
I love the Canadian connection - Montreal's Men Without Hats (they refused to wear hats during the very cold winter months as they considered it not hip!)and newcomer Lights (where did you find this band?).
I also enjoyed the Talk Talk selections both from the 'Colour of Spring' album. I must admit not being very familiar with it. The best compliment I can give is that I rushed to pull out the vinyl record and hear it in its entirety. Quite underrated, in my opinion!
Finally, the usual great tunes from the early 80s era, in particular New Order's 'Your Silent Face' still sounds haunting and original with trademark juxtaposition of the bass guitar to driving synth beat. Simply awesome!!
Tarsis, keep the Alt Classix tunes coming so that they are not forgotten!!!
