Gonads in the lightning!

Hello and welcome to an irregular column in which I'll be evangelising about what music i have been recently listening to in the hopes that people will agree with me and tell me how wonderful I am.
So here goes:
1) The White Stripes - White Blood Cells. Nice: skuzzy rock with yelpy bloke yelping in a particularly beguiling manner. Everyone (and I mean everyone, even the Sun) is raving about them. Cos they're great. Like Eels, the Moldy Peaches, and some other people I expect.
2) Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain. Spintinglingly nice. Warm and fuzzy and golden and fragile. Scrumptious.
3) Muse - Origin Of Symmetry. Amazing in more ways than is truly healthy. Operatic and self indulgent and thrashy-guitary. sheer hyperbole cannot begin to describe how brilliant the guitarist. Yes, I'm running out of superlatives here.
4) Felix da Housecat - Kittenz And Thee Glitz. 80s kraftwerk tribute tribute. Good in lots of ways. If you like impassive electronica, which i do. And the album title is cool.
Am I right or am I right? Yes, i'm right. Agree with me below.

*sings* "And wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" 
*thinks* You know I really hope we're referring to the same thing here or that's going to make absolutely no sense at all 
Anyway, Muse and Goldfrapp, good choice

Well that's lucky as if I'd had to sing any more of the lyrics I'd have been moderated before I'd even got past the end of the chorus
It's very cool though, glad there's now more than me who's found it amusing
Does the last band sound like Kraftwerk? If they do I'll take your word that they're fun but as for the other one I've not heard of it...
*hums along to cheesey Kraftwerk songs*

*grins* Aaah well if Jodie Kidd went to their concert
Well Kraftwerk is incredibly cheesey for the most part so maybe thats a good thing

this music is curiously uncheesy. its cheese free 80s music
and the white stripes are brill. give or take jodie kidd and dominic mohan

He was there too? Hmm...
And is it actually possible to have 80's music without the cheese? Surely that takes away all the fun

he claims to have discovered them. which he didnt.
and dont get me wrong i like cheese flavoured 80s ditties, but i also like felix da housecat who is anything but
