sigue sigue sputnik

We’ve got this music sale going on right now (50% off these titles with the code MUSIC), so I thought it would be cool to randomly pull some records off my shelf and try to figure which comics they’d make a good soundtrack to.  It’s fun (and you should send in your own suggestions).

First up is Flaunt It! by Sigue Sigue Sputnik.  Even though it’s from the 80′s, this record still feels pretty fresh.  It mixes up genres- synth pop, punk rock, dub and dance music, in a way that’s not just a mish-mash, it feels pretty organic.  It’s also very satirical, with ads playing between the songs, which themselves poke fun at the U.S. Military and corporate institutions.  There’s just a lot of STUFF compacted into this one record.

Because of all of this, I think it would make a great soundtrack to DC’s new PREZ comic, which is also colorful and busily designed and satirical and upbeat with an edge to it. 

What do you think, thumbs up or down?  And what are your music/comic pairings?  Hit up our ask box.
