I love '80s pop and all, but this is a little ridiculous.... Sweden's CLOETTA PARIS falls somewhere between KIM WILDE and TIFFANY on the wayback-machine dial. Early PET SHOP BOYS . LADYTRON . Effin' ACE OF BASE , for Christ's sake. Oh, and... they list T.A.T.U. as an "influence." Seemingly without irony. Oh me-oh-me-oh-my. Just 64 days till I can have a drink. Can't get here soon enough.... From the...

Does this look familiar? It should. Even though it came out in the '80s, everything in this video — from the haircut, to the black horizontal stripes on her shirt, to the music — is being copied and paraded around as we speak.

If these are real, holy shit. People will stop being pissed about the timed exclusive and just pray they can play these songs as soon as possible. Half were revealed in a screen on X-Play, the other half from a forum member over at Rock Band forums who says he's had some hands on time. [...]
