Xeroz (or Zerox), Polaroids, copy and pasting…songs about mundane tasks and objects made all the more interesting by a bit of guitar and an electronic beat or two.<\/p>\n

\nAdam & The Ants – Zer\u00c3\u00b8x (1979)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a previously unreleased video, towards the end there are some strange outakes. Perhaps it was a bad copy? har har. Early Adam Ant sounds fresher than the later pop-ier, pirate themed stuff. Another favorite is his take on bondage, Whip in My Valise.<\/a><\/p>\n

\nRuth – Polaroid Roman Photo (Synthwave France, 1985) <\/strong><\/p>\n

From The Boomar Blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Ruth was an 80’s synth\/artsy new wave group from France consisting of Thiery M\u00c3\u00bcller, Phillippe Doray and Ruth Ellyeri. From what I can gather, they only released one full-length LP, also titled Polaroid\/Roman\/Photo on the ultra-obscure Paris Album records. The record was out of print for quite some time, but has since been reissued by UK label Infrastition Records<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nPlastic Operator – Folder (2005)
\n<\/strong>
\nAs someone who does a lot of blogging, I think this tune could be a potential theme song. Always copying and pasting, editing, cropping…come to think of it, isn’t love the same?<\/p>\n

From the Plastic Operator website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Plastic Operator are the perfect pop group for our times. Internationally minded, technically savvy and most importantly blessed with the ability to sculpt sublimely soulful pop moments from raw digital clay, Plastic Operator may exist in a parallel space to the tired pop pap in the Top 10, but what a wonderful space it is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
