RandomTope: When boys wore skinny leather ties, oo-oh-oh, like Don Johnson from Miami Vice.

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2009/06/when-boys-wore-skinny-leather-ties-oo.html

Sunday, June 28, 2009. When boys wore skinny leather ties, oo-oh-oh, like Don Johnson from Miami Vice. And - more than likely - the first thing that comes to mind is Barbie Girl. If you just rolled your eyes, then move right along because this post isn't meant for you. Part of me thinks maybe this genie had it's moment out of the bottle, and I should be happy for what I have with Aquarium. And move on with my life. I really, really want to like Back in the 80s.

RandomTope: Wet Paint.

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2011/09/wet-paint.html

Friday, September 9, 2011. Let's just call it unsure as to whether things will ever still run as usual over here at RandomTope, but the place begged. For a new paint job. So here it is. Enjoy! We'll just have to wait and see what - if anything more - shows up around here! Thanks for checking by! I can choose to randomly remove comments on here at will, with no explanation.

RandomTope: I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some.

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2010/12/im-your-prostitute-you-gon-get-some.html

Monday, December 20, 2010. I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some. I liked Lykke Li'. Well enough, but the more I listened to it, I found it a little twee for my taste. Let's call it a little too sweet-tart upon repeat spins. Well, she's back, and surprisingly has some real swagger along with some tribal beats. The Swedish singer toughens up a bit with her bold new single Get Some. And I like it! Her new album, Wounded Rhymes, drops next year. Suddenly, I'm piqued. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

RandomTope: And you sway in the moon, the way you did when you were younger.

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2010/12/and-you-sway-in-moon-way-you-did-when.html

Monday, December 27, 2010. And you sway in the moon, the way you did when you were younger. Just keep on ticking, and it's usually in an interesting direction. While their 80s classics are still the high point in their career to me, I have really enjoyed their more recent forays back into the pop universe. And to a slightly lesser extent 2007's Red Carpet Massacre. Were relevant albums from a band some have confined to the dustbin of "when MTV still played music.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

RandomTope: I, I, I, Went to Tokyo!

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-i-i-went-to-tokyo.html

Wednesday, December 22, 2010. I, I, I, Went to Tokyo! Since we're on a Tokyo kick. Right now, and it's a fitting bookend to 2010, here's the other Tokyo. That's been on iPod repeat ever since we got back from Japan. I can choose to randomly remove comments on here at will, with no explanation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). MUSIC CULTURE. DESIGN.

RandomTope: Why don't we go to Tokyo?

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2010/12/why-dont-we-go-to-tokyo.html

Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Why don't we go to Tokyo? A Spanish group, singing in English about taking a trip to Tokyo? That's about all I really know about The Pinker Tones. And their new single Tokyo. While I've never heard of them, they've been around for a while, so it sounds like I have some catching up to do. In the meantime, enjoy their super-clever, catchy Japanese paper-riff. I can choose to randomly remove comments on here at will, with no explanation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

RandomTope: No time for cameras, we’ll use our eyes instead!

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2011/02/no-time-for-cameras-well-use-our-eyes.html

Tuesday, February 1, 2011. No time for cameras, we’ll use our eyes instead! I guess it's hard to top stripping naked in Times Square. So why not beat the crap out of each other? So it is with Matt and Kim. And their video for Cameras. Even if it does veer into sort of creepy domestic band violence territory. The video's fine, but if you haven't seen these two in person, you're really missing out on one of the highest energy live sets out there! Labels: Matt and Kim. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

RandomTope: Breaking the chain, because love isn't meant to complain.

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2011/02/breaking-chain-because-love-isnt-meant.html

Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Breaking the chain, because love isn't meant to complain. I have a hit or miss relationship with Canadian electrofunkers Chromeo. Throw in a dash of Elly Jackson (of La Roux. Fame) and suddenly I tilt back in their favor again. Of course, they didn't bother to splice her into the old video of the song they had her join in on, but this Hot Mess. Is a much improved endeavor regardless. It's a shame the online stores only have the old Elly-free version, so far. DT in the City.

RandomTope: Fear inside of me, oh, fear inside of me!

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2010/12/fear-inside-of-me-oh-fear-inside-of-me.html

Thursday, December 23, 2010. Fear inside of me, oh, fear inside of me! Back in 2009, I was pretty infatuated. A British newcomer who knew his way around a good beat. Well Vincent Frank is back, and I'm liking what I'm hearing for round two. Is a great tease for what's to come, I'm hoping in 2011.

RandomTope: Rolling in the deep, tears are gonna fall.

http://randomtope.blogspot.com/2010/12/rolling-in-deep-tears-are-gonna-fall.html

Friday, December 17, 2010. Rolling in the deep, tears are gonna fall. When Britain's soulful Adele. First made it across the Atlantic a few years back it was easy to lose her in the shadow of the Amy Winehouse's invasion of the airwaves. I found it hard not to compare the two singers, and frankly, for me, Amy Winehouse could do no wrong in that period before she spiralled into tabloid crack-whore infamy. So it's refreshing to be caught off guard now by Rolling in the Deep. MUSIC CULTURE. DESIGN.
