Description: ** UPDATE 28May07 - I've received some e-mails about a SynthPop is Dead sequel. I will definitely not do a sequel, as that would be an insult to the first, which is already a classic masterpiece. I may have missed some bands (Alphaville, Cause & Effect), but you get the idea. They all sound the same anyway. My next video will focus on a very specific member of a very specific band. That's all I can say for now. It's coming soon.. ** UPDATE 21May07 - You people are nuts!! To those of you who requested an MP3 of the track, you can find it at: http://www.myspace.com/SynthPopIsntCoool I was bored this weekend and had an idea for a toungue-in-cheek " untribute to SynthPop. I love SynthPop but there are harsh realities the genre is facing, lol. At first, I was just going to record a 1 minute song without vocals but the idea got the better of me and I ended up writing a song and doing vocals, mixing, using lots of photos, etc. I would like to give credit to the local bands in this piece: 1) Brand New Idol - An electronic band I used to be in. Our music was really cool and flirted w/ various styles, but in the end I felt like I couldn't commit to it anymore. They're still together and working on great things and pushing the genre outside its current envelope. You can find them on MySpace and they have a show on Memorial Day Weekend 2007 in CT. 2) Cosmicity - Another unsigned act that I enjoyed for a few years, but they disbanded. They had really nice melodies. 3) The Mystic Underground - A band we used to play shows with here & there. They're still together as of 2006. You can find them on MySpace as well. They're definitely improving with time. 4) Platform One - Nigel's Goth-esque band before he joined Brand New Idol. You can still find Platform One songs on My*Space. Technical/Nerd Notes: * Arrangement, lyrics, and all vocals by myself * Photos courtesy of the information superhighway! I know I suck, but please feel free to tell me I suck anyway! -Me

Chacanger ::: Favorites Synthpop kicks ass, its way better than goth which by the way sounds all the same and rap which just talks about killing people. 07-09-04 16:08:30 _____________________________________________________
Chacanger ::: Favorites yeah your right, Im 16 and I like synthpop and Im not a milf and goth music is just a load of headbashing with no good sounds. I hope that it comes back and gets rid of all this modern shit thats in the UK and US at the moment. 07-09-04 15:58:36 _____________________________________________________
