Matt at You Ain’t No Picasso was kind enough to tell us about the new Marbles’ Halloween song “Dracula”, a new wave revival gem that sort of re-imagines Tom Petty’s song “Into the Great Wide Open” with Dracula in the lead role. This is the 50′s greaser Dracula who “vants to suck your blood,” of course. The song just doesn’t work using the old-man Bram Stoker’s Dracula with the white Princess Leia hairdo as portrayed by Gary Oldman.

great stuff, can’t ever get enough marbles
Gotta love new wave. I mean the real new wave, the new new wave, fake wave I call it, can kinda feel like it is a cheap copy of the past. To me, the 80s were not to be repeated, it was as much the times as anything.
I mean, have you ever dreamed about a place, you never really recall being to before; a place that maybe only exists in your imagination? Some place far away, half remembered when you wake up. When you were there though, you knew the language; you knew your way around. That was the 80s… No, it wasn’t that either: it was just ’86, and early 87. Thats all it was.
