So the music of today is going to sound dated to you in about four years. Why not get the jump on your friends and start disliking it now? The music of today IS dated! The dance stuff of today, absolute shit like Beatfreekz, Sunblock (fucking Robin Beck's 'First time' for God's sake!) etc; etc; is just god awful regurgitated 80's wank. Stuff like Rhianna is a big hit because it samples a great 80's track, it would be beyond WANK if it didn't have that sample in it. I lived through the 80's, I don't want to live it again, I want NEW stuff!

Anyone catch the Nana's in the US this week?
Billboard gave them a good review!
=================================
In the United States, Bananarama has been missing in action for 10 years. But with "Drama," the duo and a handful of beat-savvy producers (including Mute8 and Ian Masterson) deliver a cohesive collection of dancefloor-ready jams. Like contemporary British girl groups Girls Aloud and the Sugababes, Bananarama's current sonic landscape revels in pop-alicious rhythms that cull from electro, trance and disco. The disc opens with international singles "Move in My Direction" and "Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)," and except for the lackluster "Waterfall," the momentum remains until the final track (the Solasso remix of the act's early-'80s hit "He Was Really Saying Something"). "I Love the Way" and "Rules of Attraction" sound just fine when played alongside Kylie and Goldfrapp, respectively, while the gorgeously chilled-out "Middle of Nowhere" detours to the beaches of Ipanema. —Michael Paolet
