Electronic Pop | House
From the forth coming greatest hits album (due out February12th), we get two new tracks one if which is “That’s How People Grow Up” and the other being “All You Need Is Me”. I personally haven’t really been taken by most of Morrissey’s solo efforts, but there have been the occasional standout tracks but collectively no where near the mark that the Smiths have left on my heart.

My Robot Friend (aka Howard Robot) comes from the emerging New York City’s underground electronic scene. He’s opened for such acts as Le Tigre, Herbert, and Scissor Sisters. From what I’ve read, he’s live shows are something to behold. His shows have been described as Laurie Anderson meets Wizard of Oz complete with neon lights and pyrotechnics.
And is it just me (or this it could just be the result of listening to too much Depeche Mode), but I can swear I hear a sample in the background from the song “Pipeline” off the Construction Time Again LP.

Think Coldplay vocals (but more up beat) meets Justice rhythm loops meets Klaxons guitars… o-hell forget it… these guys are really good and should be heard. Also, I can’t find a lick of info on them. I found this track at thesixtyone.com. The Sixty One is like digg for music, where anyone can join and “bump” (aka add points from your point pool) to make a song rank higher. You are allotted more points as you log-in each day.
