My formative years were spent in the 80's with foundational bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, and Jane's Addiction. Even though the 80's was the pioneer decade for the alternative genre, this music transcended into the 90's and to some cool tunes today which could be classified as alternative. Hopefully, this site will bring back some good memories and introduce some things you haven't heard before.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy.

'Sofi Live in London' by Deadmau5

Album: 4x4=12

Released: 2010
Theme: wave

I've already posted this tune once but this live version rocks and so does the singer.

I usually say something like 'wish I was there' but I am there . . . at The Tabernacle as you read this.

'Block After Block' by Matt & Kim

Album: Sidewalks

Released: 2010
Theme: alternative funk

Another one by Matt & Kim - it has a great beat and great video to go along. It looks like they like to have fun in NYC but keeping their clothes on this time.

Give it up for Eli, my Matt & Kim hookup.
