Ok. So I'm looking for some new music that would appeal to my music tastes. I am very "patchy" when it comes to awareness of what is going out there at the moment, so assume that you can even recommend big hits/popular singers/bands to me, as well.

Styles: music going back 70s or 80s, glam rock, pop/popera, etc. Influences of Queen, ABBA, David Bowie, Elton John, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys. Anything outrageous and flamboyant.

Musicians/bands I enjoyed recently: Electric Six, Hercules and Love Affair, Levi Kreis, Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, Katy Perry, Alanis Morissette.

Right now thinking of maybe getting something by Mika.  :huh:

Hmmm. I think I have nothing to suggest to you. Good luck though.

The Noisettes new stuff strikes me as a bit gay for some reason.
But overall....very ecclectic stuff there, not really much that comes to mind from adding all that.

MGMT is indie, dance-oriented electronic with an occasional post-Berlin Bowie sound.  Very popular over here; over the last year you'd be hard pressed to find hipsters dancing without "Time to Pretend" or "Kids".

So far got Mika's "Life in Cartoon Motion". Anything similar would be appreciated.

I was speaking generally. Marti isn't hip at anything.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

And hands off Alanis when you bring the rest of that trash to the table. :angry:
