Which new wave CD, stream, record, tape, or radio show are you currently listening to?

I have been listening to my records a lot lately. My recently-played stack consists of:

Second Layer - World of Rubber
Stan Ridgway - The Big Heat
Depeche Mode - A Broken Frame
A-ha - Scoundrel Days
Blancmange - Mange Tout
Cabaret Voltaire - Drinking Gasoline

and then some singles,

Cetu Javu - Situations
Book of Love - I Touch Roses
Clan of Xymox - Imagination
Ministry - Revenge
Fad Gadget - Love Parasite
Hohokam - King


I know some of you will cite that a few of those are not strictly New Wave; and you are correct---But in my book, the style of NW can be expanded a bit to include records "of the time" which contain elemental aspects of the genre.

What have you all been listening to?

Not sure if they really qualify as new wave, but I just discovered to my pleasant surprise 'River City People' through their song 'Walking on Ice' which has a distinctive Kate Bush vibe.

Thinking it was probably a one-off, I checked out two other songs, 'Say Something Good' and 'I'm Still Waiting' and liked both of those too, so this is probably a keeper.
