(Happy new year, all. So this is a new section called 'Trends' that I'm introducing this month. Many of my friends have accused me of being stuck in a time warp and focusing on music before my time. I agree. I don't listen to enough of today's music, or even music of this decade for that matter. What I hope to achieve through this section is just that. I shall be needing your help initially, and would love it if you could keep suggesting me stuff. It could even be a local band you're trying to promote. Anything I particularly like, I shall feature on the blog, with due acknowledgement to the sender. Thanks, and happy listening.)
Honestly, if there ever was a strong sign that dance rock was making a comeback, it was the past year's catalogue. Listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "I'm With You" with its fist pumping grooves, or Radiohead's "The King Of Limbs" with its techno-beats, or Foster The People's "Torches" with its catchy rhythms, and you'll know what I mean. Dance rock has never seen such a mainstream presence since the glorious days of Elvis & Co. Let's hope it sticks, though. It's nice to see rockstars shimmying again.
