Agreed. Oddly, I think the most wonderful tip to the glam legacy right
now comes not from the rock or power pop world, but from techno - I think
the video for "Ooh La La" is up at Goldfrapp's site, and it's well worth
the effort....

Yes, the song sounds like the bastard child of Love Grows by Edison
Lighthouse and Shaun Cassidy's version of Da Doo Ron Ron, as
interpreted by
the bastard children of Abba and Gary Glitter. But I sort of like it
in a
perverse way, even if it's not really a great song, and the singer
hasn't
got a super voice, but the hook is played with mighty confidence and
the
swaggering defiance of what Roger Manning once described to me as
"the super
strut" rhythm.
