I mean… Hanuka, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year’s Eve, Boxing Day, and of course my birthday, which happens to coincide with New Year’s eve. That’s a lot of holidays!

Filed under: Autolux,Bright Eyes,Cobra Dukes,Erlend Oye,Heart Beeps,Jens Lekman,Justice,Lights Out,My Robot Friend,The Dub Pistols,The Sonixx,Wesley the robot — AZLTRON @ 5:16 am

This is a bit strange. I posted this Wesley cartoon a while back along with a mix and now it doesn’t exist anymore. I know there wasn’t any objectionable content and no one notified me regarding taking a track down… Hm, well anyway here’s a few more tracks that go along with the repost of the cartoon. It seems that Wesley is encountering some electrical problems… I wonder what the cause could be?

Autolux – Robots in the Garden

My Robot Friend – Robot High School

Bright Eyes – Light Pollution

Cobra Dukes – Leave the Light On

The Dub Pistols – The Speed of Light

Erlend Oye – There is a Light That Never Goes Out (Smiths Cover)

Heart Beeps – Light Leaks

The Sonixx – I See The Light

Jens Lekman – You Are The Light

Justice – Let There Be Light (Breakbot Remix)

Kanye West – Flashing Lights

P.S. Happy Halloween!

So I have a show that is broadcast from WNYO every Monday from 11-noon. I know that many people are in class or at work and cannot listen. However I am in the process of developing techniques and schedules so that everyone can listen to my show. If you can you should definitely listen next week because I have a special guest co-host. Anyway one of my plans is to post all the tracks I’ve played the same day.

I realize that it is Wednesday morning and that I am posting Monday’s show. So, I’ll just get to it.

These Cobras are Tight! Airtight!

Filed under: Cobra Dukes — AZLTRON @ 9:56 am

The London Synth-Rock band returns with a new single “Airtight”, and that’s exactly what the track is. It swaggers along with an authentic 80′s bounce and one of those choruses that wraps itself around the beat thereby jackhammering itself into your frontal lobes where it will stay.

Put Up Your Dukes, Cobra!

Filed under: Billy Idol,Cobra Dukes,Knightlife,The Cure — AZLTRON @ 1:06 pm

The Cobra Dukes are yet another NME favored synth rock band hailing from London, England. There’s something raw and authentic about their sound. Think Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself”, in the way that there’s a rough element that seems to be struggling against the pop structure of the songs. It makes for a more convincing delivery of the lyrics. Just like how The Cure’s love songs resonate so much more than top 40 radio songs because The Cure had put out so much melancholic music beforehand so if they put out a love song it had so much more feeling than the vapid ballads on the radio because you could actually feel that something had changed.

Enough about feelings though, when it comes down to it, The Cobra Dukes serve up some great New Wave fun. Once the Cut-Copy like intro of “Leave the Light On” passes the synth surges in and manic retro bliss ensues. Speaking of retro bliss, you won’t come any closer to fantasizing about a mid-80′s prom than by listening to “Time is Coming” with your eyes closed. If you’re feeling like a third helping, the Knight Life remix of “Leave the Light On” should do the trick as well as leave your ears smoking and your feet sore.
