My friend bisa inspired me to listen to new wave again and I started to create a playlist of favorite songs of that genre/period. Many more or less important artists are missing here simply because I don't have any music of them, anyhow, it is already an epic mix with 1000 minutes of pure new wave pleasure.

As many of you might already know, Blondie is my favorite band of all-time, and I think Debbie Harry is the coolest, sexiest female to ever walk the earth. So I've decided to compile a list of my 50 favorite Blondie songs, in order of preference. You'll notice that I didn't shy away from including a lot of their hits on my list (*cough* Call Me *cough*), because I love all of their stuff pretty much equally, although I do have a preference for songs from the first wave of their existence (1976-1982). I haven't ever really written about music before, so I thought I would give it a shot. However, because I'm a lazy fuck, I decided to explain only the first five:

1. Call Me - For me, this track is the definition of sex. I'm gayer than Paul Lynde (okay, I am exaggerating -- not many people are gayer than Paul Lynde), but when Debbie pleads for me to cover her with kisses, baby, I am completely willing to do so. Or maybe I just want to fuck Richard Gere (circa 1980, of course).

…

Released in 1981, The Best of Blondie is not a definitive singles compilation, but it is the perfect set for those who need a Blondiegrab bag of the biggest hits and a couple of album cuts. Although classified as a new wave band, Blondie were really genre-bending hitmakers. In just the first three tracks, they start off with a disco song ("Heart of Glass") move on the pop-punk ("Dreaming" - which seems to have laid the groundwork for The Go-Gos) and reggae (their cover of John Holt's "The Tide Is High," which, a little research reveals is actually a soca song, because of its origins in Trinidad, not Jamaica).

Consuming it all at once, as I am right now, I realise just how - sweet - this collection is. Blondie may have started out as a CBGB punk band, but they didn't stick with that genre for very long (unlike contemporaries The Ramones). Who can blame a band though - there's no money in punk (once again, see The Ramones).
