do you want the new wave? or do you want the truth?

Artist Song
the cure  siamese twins 
the smiths  some girls are bigger than others 
gary numan  are friends electric? 
joy division  love will tear us apart 
siouxsie and the banshees  playground twist 
milemarker  home theatre made easy 
the faint  agenda suicide 
modern english  i'll stop the world 
the cars  just what i needed 
devo  pop music 
bis  secret vampires 
atom and his package  punk rock academy 
oingo boingo  reptiles and samurai 
talking heads  the girls want to be with the girls 
hefner  when the angels play their drum machines 
blur  girls & boys (pet shop boys remix) 
madness  bed & breakfast man 
elvis costello and the attractions  everyday i write the book 
cyndi lauper  girls just wanna have fun 
tracy + the plastics  bury the hair 

Comment:

with all the new wave i've been listening to lately, i finally broke down and made a mix. i think i dig it - although there's so much i wanted to put on here that wouldn't fit. i think i may have to make a 2nd volume soon. anyway, i started off with the "darker" new wave, and ended with the more danc-y stuff.

This is crazy. I just dug out a really old mix I made for a friend of mine with the very same title. The approach is a bit different, but there's definitely some similarities. I think I should post it for purposes of comparison.

Sounds like a cool mix, I am going through a new wave phase, too!

I just love Gary Numan.
His song "Are Friends Electric" is one of my absolute favourites.
I love Joy Division and Talking Heads too.
"Unknown Pleasures", "77", "More Songs About Food And Buildings".
Terrific stuff, if you ask me.
