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.

'Need You Now' by Cut Copy

I like the subtlety of this tune and think the live video captures the coolness.

Damn, this band and album are good.

'Pharaohs & Pyramids' by Cut Copy

Album: Zonoscope

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative electronica

Man, this one has all the makings of a classic off their new album. On the CD, the tune changes tempo - I love that, especially when things keep getting better.

Unfortunately, the embedded sound track is a remix which doesn't do it justice. If I can find the original I will gladly re-post.

'Lights and Music' by Cut Copy

Album: In Ghost Colours

Released: 2008
Theme: alternative electronica

Fresh music from this Australian band formed in 2001. A friend asked me today if I've posted anything by Cut Copy and I thought I had - but that's not the case . . . until now.

These guys have an 80's feel that's very smooth yet funky. More to come.
