ROBOTZ

I asked this on tumblr and got only ONE response (from Kat!). Pfft! Better use LJ while it's still around.

"I want examples of pop music (in the widest sense) made last year that was by, for or about robots (in the widest sense). This will either be turned into a marvellous column in a widely-read interweb music publication near you, or will be forgotten about. Hopefully the former!"

But surely The Killers are not saying that by not being human they are robots. They are inventing a human vs. dancer opposition. They are just as likely to be aliens as robots.

I thought of one - My Secret Lover by Private, which goes "man, I'm a man machine"
