rfmcdonaldThis live performance by La Roux makes me interested in the group.
Some of the reviews I've read position the group as the next Eurythmics, as part of the revival of 1980s synthpop featuring a rather innovative-looking female lead singer. This may be the case, although I'd have to buy the album (yes, I still do that) and have an uninterrupted listen to judge.
La Roux saddens me, as this group constitutes practically the lone exception to my complete lack of awareness of contemporary popular music. While listening to my mp3s at work, a co-worker commented that I don't seem to have any tracks younger than five years. This is so true.
How do you stay in touch with what's going on musically? Blogs, newspapers, magazines, word-of-mouth? I'd like to think that I stay up to date with most things, and it rankles me that this one personally critical area is one that I'm not abreast of.
