Pere Ubu - "Electricity" (on Ray Gun Suitcase; also the working title of their next album, due 2006); "Street Waves" (The Modern Dance: "I get a picture of what it'll be like/ I turn the channel round to Channel 43/ I see electricity jump and spark/ I see electricity uh real and stark/ And then I'm gone gone gone by her heart"); "We Have the Technology" (The Tenement Year: "Hooked to our machines, our eyes are beaming"); David Thomas, "The New Atom Mine" (Sound of Sand: "Here's the physicist working in the Fermi Lab tonight/ The lights burn every night, burn in the night"); David Thomas, "Ghosts" (Surf's Up: "And they leave the lights on in this town all night for fear of the darkness/ And a radio is playing all night for the fear of silence") ... That comprises a little thesis.

The Mountain Goats, "Letter from Belgium" (We Shall All Be Healed: "Martin calls to say he's sending old electrical equipment/ That's good we can always use some more electrical equipment").
