Start tomorrow. Everyone’s opinion of a New Wave artist is different but if you’re struggling for inspiration, here’s a graphic I did for a Post-Punk challenge on Twitter in 2022. It lists artists from the Simon Reynolds book Rip It Up and Start Again, some of these crossover.

I suppose technically it should be a top eighty (rather than sixty). I might expand it over the next few days as there are some crackers that just missed the sixty but would make a top eighty… 🎧💿

Yesterday I helped (mainly chauffeuring) my youngest set up a stall selling her artwork in an actual shop in the actual Trafford Centre, Manchester 🤩 It’s upstairs in Kenji for the next 2 weeks if anyone’s around there. Or scan the QR code that’s on the stall and that has links to her Etsy shop.
