80's SYNTH POP TANGENT

Along with all this talk of great Australian bands (save for the break in proceedings to bow down to the greatness that is the new young pony club) you can't really go on without talking about the large slice of 80s synth pop that is cut copy. They have some very cool stuff, and for some reason their song 'Saturdays' (above) makes me want to do a highly choreographed, yet seemingly spare of the moment dance routine in the middle of the street whilst joined by a small group of complete strangers who oddly know it too, and that's not something i'm prone to.
For more on them have a look at their website and also check out their myspace for a listen to 'hearts on fire', the first song off their, as yet untitled, second album.

and in honour of this 80's synth pop tangent i've found myself on, here's some others...
