nukubot: tonight, 20.00 rtl7, roda jc - fcdordrecht play off live broadcast! this is a special day
fuck hookers and forget about legal weed, friday night football is the true sign holland's greatness among nations
wat mij betreft.. limburg huilt vanavond..
zo slecht zie ik de kansen van roda, die dit seizoen toch al aan middeleeuws voetbal deed
let's continue the football chitchat here:
I am very sure that --/~~~~ is still not listening to a lot of `trance with a snare` horror or awfull electro-rock-crossover sold under the electroclash flag to the joost van bellen loving now and wow crowd that ate that stuff like candy during the (short) hype.
Don't worry Gor, I heard that since Guy Tavares can dress up like a 80s hairmetal-singer and IFM/CBS has been playing wave for a few years, its now okay and "underground-approved" to like 80s wave and wear make up too
that's good to hear 
now I can finally break out the mascara box.
now I can finally break out the mascara box.
it's been years here dear, now we can finally talk about which is the best brand and best color matching
you guys used it to cover up pimples too?
I went into Sephora the other day and I sprayed myself with every perfume on every shelf.
@starborough: your joost van bellen reference reminds me of perhaps an underlighted aspect of the discussion, that is the regional context in which the term was used. In Eindhoven, f.i. you had a monthly 'electroclash' evening that was almost exclusively playing 80ies synthpop hits, with some gigolo & co in between. Although not very exciting musically, they were massively popular, fun evenings with all the girls in their finest 80s interpretation... hairspray, stiletto's and neon stalkings galore.
No mascara boys though.
cmon guys... compared to minimal, electro-house and nu-disco cosmic hype, electroclash is not so bad (except for chicks on speed, who are still fucking awful).
makes me a little nostalgic even, where did I put my autographed Tiga CD???
i dont know about the newest miss kittin, i heard one song from the new tiga but it was just the same ol' wild-pitch glammy frentic club sound that is very de rigueur, and the new fischerspooner looks as avoidable as their previous album.
is that a patio-heater on his head?
anyways, for those who dismissed it, you may want to check out miss kittin's solo debut, i.com.

once you get past the aggro-electro-punk-clash posturing of professional distorition, meet su be she, and the blandness of happy violentine you find some good treasures. the best songs for me are those found on side C & D (even f 2 of them are remakes). plus you can't escape the hypnotic groove of requiem for a hit (best if played between -2 & -4).
her new album title/art/single title/pic disc makes me cringe though. i'd wish she'd stop tryin so hard to be this dark-goth-punk-riot grrrl, it feels too contrived now. she's becoming (become?) a caricature akin to kelly osbourne. (i think her latest single release has artwork by "emily the strange" cartoonist. yikes.)
one thing that always bugs me about the way people dismissed electroclash and the artists who unfortunately fell under the umbrella, is that many missed out on Crossover. maybe cause they looked like a xeroxed miss kittin & the hacker? shame, their first album Fantasmo ( http://www.discogs.com/Crossover-Fantasmo/master/46647 ) had some great tunes, like phostograph, extensive care, and lady dragon slayer.
by their second album, Cryptic and Dire Sallow Faced Hoods Blast Off Into Oblivion, they refined their lyrics & vocals to repeated mantras, and every production was pretty sick! varying forms of electro, industrial, new wave, synth pop, techno, ambient, & funky punk are impecabbly produced on this album but as a whole the album is unified by Crossover's gothic leitmotifs and athmospheres (and unlike miss kittin, their darkness is honest and the music echoes the sincerity).
more details & detailed review here:

and i know she and her label where never exactly electroclash, but the latest ellen allien, SOOL, looks very promising. i havent given it a listen yet (omg has it been out for a year already!!) but i really should, shouldnt i?

you have to remember that people who dance to this kind of music jump around like black metal people who had too many moloko plus
it aint pretty!
A picture like that sais it all why we didn't want to be ascociated with the electroclash phenomenon
looks very robotesque to me, what's wrong with this arty farty?
arty farty? Its just pure bollocks, thats what it is!

Arty farty should be encouraged imo

Looks like one of those external heaters you have for the patio/decking or outside the pubs.
Wisteria Maiden?
W T F !!!!
it is so unwatchable trash

If you see that picture then you know allmost for sure the music is bad. Artist who need this kind
of stupid looks are not taken seriously.
