It's always good to have a plan B. As of late for me, it's been '80s-electro-retro-throwback/indie music (I like to be genre-specific) :
The New Young Pony Club have restored my faith in young folks (as opposed to 30-something rappers) to drop good albums I don't need to skip through. Great basslines, synths and vocals, with the bonus of loads of bright colours and a hot chick on lead vocals making for more than tolerable music video viewing.
Started listening to CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) ["I'm tired of being sexy." - Beyonce Knowles] about a year ago because they're Brazilian, again they have bright colours and a hot chick on vocals as a bonus for the music videos and as a megabonus their bassist has an awesome 'tache...I then also discovered, in passing, that their music was pretty awesome too.
He's unfortunately not a hot-chick-on-lead-vocals, but Calvin Harris does also boasts bright colours in his music videos and has a great album title to boot: "I Created Disco". Dude and his synthesizer are pretty much attached at the hip - in a good way - so the album's very '80s. A lot of the beats are reminiscent of the Neptunes, Timbaland and Daft Punk to me; great to bounce around to.
