Watching/listening to all that Sirius Channel 22:First Wave (Classic Alternative) has turned me on to bands I didn't know I like. One of them is Depeche Mode but to take the edge off I'm really digging Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry. I get the feeling that he's Leonard Cohen with a better singing voice (in terms of LC's love songs. Anyone who says that LC's just depressing music really should listen to the words). And plus, he has that backup singer with the beautiful voice thing rocking, and I just love that. One of the things that will make it onto my 100 Things About Elaine list (if I can ever stop stalling at 50) will be that my dream job is backup singer. Sadly, I sing just about as well as Leonard Cohen. (For the uninitiated, think of that Crash Test Dummies song Mmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm. Cohen sounds exactly like that).
