    Well, here she is. Another 80s baby: La Roux, née Elly Jackson, awkwardly hot and pouty-mouthed in the manner of Molly Ringwald, you know, like, Pretty in Pink Molly Ringwald, but with a bad boy’s coiff.  And, of course, a retro-electro sound to match. Born in ’85, have to wonder: did I miss the last good times? How else to explain this old-is-new music phenomenon, stuck like a broken needle in a glossy, synthy, echo-booming groove?
