I must break you

It seems like there's a romantic mystery about music that comes from Russia. Sure there's been PPK, (the brilliant) t.A.T.u and that Timbaland-produced Ken doll that won Eurovision a few years ago but other than that we don't get to hear a lot from the other side of the curtain.

Reaching out across the planet is the stunning Tesla Boy showing that France and Australia aren't the only countries that can produce 80's inspired synth-pop. It's just a shame that it's unlikely that we'll get to see them over in the UK anytime soon...

Anyway, their brand of driving, aerobic-pop music is reminiscent of Anoraak and Miami Horror with vocals from Nik Kershaw. Enjoy:

Brain Drain is SICK... and not in a good, Tim Westwood air horn explosion way:



... more in the traditional feeling ill kind of way.

Anyway seeing as our ears need some therapeutic music (and listening to whale-song/pan-pipes CDs is *so* 1991) here's some super nice music from IHEARTCOMIX-signed Londoners FUTURECOP!.

Been meaning to post some stuff up from them for a while now (ever since catching them live at the Valerie party with Anoraak and Minitel Rose @ White Heat last year) and the new remix of "Transformers In Time" by Texan twosome Ghosthustler gives us the perfect excuse to make amends.

Get better soon:

and if you still need cheering up here's a video from Ghosthustler where people get punched in the face with an NES Power Glove!:
