Pre-Finland playlist

The Greatest Form of Flattery

As I’ll be spending a lot of time in airports, railway stations and between countries starting this afternoon, I thought a new playlist might just be in order. I give to you, then, a collection of some great covers (and one remix) of 80s new wave songs. What’s not to love?

  1. “Strangelove” – Bat for Lashes
  2. “The Killing Moon” – Pavement
  3. “The Chauffer” – Warpaint
  4. “Never Tear Us Apart” – Record Club
  5. “Age of Consent” – Geographer
  6. “Six Different Ways” – Rainbow Arabia
  7. “Don’t You Want Me” – Neon Trees
  8. “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” – Just a Gent
  9. “Stop Me” – Mark Ronson
  10. “Let’s Go to Bed” – Cassettes Won’t Listen
  11. “Blue Dress” – Hungry Lucy
  12. “Slowdive” – LCD Soundsystem
  13. “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” – Nouvelle Vague
  14. “Smalltown Boy” – José González
  15. “True” – Joanna Wang
