R.I.P., electroclash
Last night at the bar, Planetarium was chatting with satellite-ers Kenny and AdamW when a particular tune from a couple years back came on, prompting Kenny to wax nostalgic about the brief reign at the top that electroclash enjoyed. "It came and went too fast." True, there are times we do hanker for the days of yore, when catchy beats and cheesy lines dominated the day. We have a feeling that when electroclash takes corporeal form to explain its untimely demise, the title of its autobiography will be The Hold Steady Killed Me. If you've a mind to, put on some Ladytron today and think about those halcyon times gone by, when even dorks with guitars were trying to seem sophisticated. (Hey Interpol, 1960's Paris called- it wants you to stop desecrating its corpse.)
