SONG OF THE DAY (#233)

'you got me wrong,' by biker boy

i'll give you one guess as to where biker boy comes from. need a hint? his name is peter lundbergh. if you still can't figure it out, well...

i know this isn't going to appeal to everyone, but i don't really care 'cos i absolutely love it. [you should all know by now that i have a soft spot, a love seat, an armchair, a chaise lounge, a papasan, and a futon in my heart for synthpop. and when it's done as well and as tastefully as biker boy, hey, all the better.] i kind of did a double take, or the audio equivalent, the first time i heard 'you got me wrong.' i thought, 'what's brett anderson doing singing over some pet shop boys-inspired synth songs? it's frak-tastic!' even after i did some research on biker boy and discovered it was peter lundbergh, i still wasn't completly convinced it wasn't brett anderson. some nine months on i'm still not 100% sure, but hey...

biker boy released the 'you got me wrong' e.p. back in '05, and i think 'heart' and 'i was only joking' have been released as singles, too. last i heard peter was working on his debut l.p. and i, for one, am stoked about it!
