(warning, my spelling is bad, esp. with names - no flames please)
I don't think new wave is starting to sound like disco.  Recently, however,
new wave has begun to evolve into more of a dance-able new wave, moving away
from the 'punk' sound.  Of course, there are also influences of Raggae and
Julacan (sp?) sounds moving in.  I guess everyone has a slightly different
interpretation of what "new wave" is, and it will probably always be changing
just enough so that people do not get bored with it.

I can think of some new wave artists which I don't consider 'disco':
	Tom Tom Club			Altered Images
	Yaz 				Peter Shilling
	The Units			Ice House (Roxy Music soundalike)
	The Bone Symphony		Sparks
	Bowhouse
	Bow Wow Wow (the broke up, didn't they?)
There are some which are borderline such as
	Heaven 17
	Human League
Well, I ran out of ideas on others.   Anyone else think of anymore?

While on the topic, has any body heard anything about Adam Ant's lp due
to be released next month?  How about "Marilyn", a good friend of Boy George
who dresses up like Marilyn Monroe?
