Words 4 Two - Masquarada:
Puerto-rican New Wave
Circa 1988
More than just a sense of national pride, these guys rocked! They were so far ahead in the local scene that people couldn't make heads of tails of them.
Their LPs are hard to find, and cost a pretty penny (ask me how I know), but totally worth it. I totally wish they were more popular. I can't even find good pics! Their work deserves digital remastering, and at least digital file downloads.
Owl City - Ocean Eyes:
Electronic, Pop, Synth-pop
2009

Spec*s on the island, I was both pissed and sad. Even with the critcism it deserves, I'm gonna miss it. End of an era. X(
