Coldplay on KFOG right now. Sounds just like 'em -- and like their many clones of the past year.

But Haley Jones MD follows Coldplay with a new band called The Dead Sixties (LOL!), who claim "we don't sound like anybody" but who sound like Elvis Costello fronting the Clash.

and now it's new Beck, with charmingly cheezy Atari-2600-sounding synths.  His most "radio-friendly" thing in ages.

Yeah, they don't sound like anybody...because they sound like everybody. I got a Joe Jackson/early Talking Heads vibe from them. But regardless, we're talking the same era so safe to say they're retro-New Wave.

I liked the two new songs he did on SNL this weekend.  Wonderfully overpercussive.
