Can't believe I got away with this! "Dead Cruiser" is probably the least catchy track off Kavinsky's 1986 EP, but it, er, had the word dead in the title (even tho any track could've counted, him being a zombie zombi & all) - his MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/kavinsky) has the k-excellent "Wayfarer" (the one you can DJ) & "Grand Canyon" (slow & swaggering) ... he presses all my Goblin/John Carpenter/Moroder/Faltermayer/&c buttons - "it sounds like every 80s soundtrack all at once!" - but without being too retro; this is the closest I think I'll come to liking Ed Banger.

Was a toss-up between this track & Metalchicks "Dead Loss Angeles" - if yr reading jel, have you heard them?

(also, the video for "Testarossa Autodrive" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQSHg-SJXR8))

I'm seeing Kavinsky and Sebastian open for Daft Punk in a few weeks here, alongside The Rapture. VERY excited! (And it looks like Kavinsky and Sebastian are playing a show after the main event in a smaller club nearby. HMMMM!)
