The New Wave Diva
http://newwavediva.wordpress.com
I’m a 30-something DJ chick who really loves new wave music! In fact, I’m completely enamored with 80s music! So this blog will predominantly focus on 80s new wave. However, I may stray out of the 80s occasionally.
I hope you’ll join me as I take a step back in time.

Hey Dave,
That's a pretty cool cover of Don't Stop The Music. I actually really like that song and I don't necessarily consider myself a big Rhianna fan (or of any current pop music for that matter). The production quality is so good, so damn catchy! I can't resist.
Your version is quite catchy as well! Kudos.

I love new wave, and found this 21st century version of it (from an artist too young to remember) Check it out if you like:

NewWave Diva is a great blog! Thanks for it.
Awesome blog. I too am obsessed with 80s new wave stuff, I was born in 75 so I was sort of "there" at the time. As an 8 year old, I was madly in love with Adam Ant and Marilyn (still am)
