Électro-punk? Ne cherchez pas plus loin : past meets future, Ladytron ont effectué un remix de Natural's Not in It du groupe culte post-punk Gang of Four . Le Ladytron Remodel fait partie d'une série de remixes effectués par divers groupes actuels (Hot Hot Heat, Yeah Yeah Yeahs...) pour la sortie en 2005 d'une compilation des meilleurs succès de Gang of Four, Return the Gift . C'est de loin la meilleure version du lot, étant autant 1979 que 2005 : Ladytron ont réussi à apposer leur couleur propre à la célèbre chanson [...]

Not mine, but his What a long, strange trip it has been... I think it was last Sunday evening that it realy hit me, when I had already been in Vegas for four days (or four nights, as it seems more appropriate to measure Vegas time in terms of nights). I was wandering The Strip , on my way to somewhere, when suddenly I came unmoored. The ching-ching-ching-whoop of the slots, the all-permeating stench of stale cigarette smoke mixed with cheap air freshener, the [...]

It has been about 15 since Gang of Four have released any new material, now the band has written new songs for a new album. The band reunited in 2005 to re-record old material. Gang of FOur are working on a self-released album for later this year. Bassist David Allen says about the new songs: "So far they aren’t a huge departure from what we’ve done before. The biggest surprise is that we’ve been capable of getting back to our roots. A whole bunch that we’ve done sounds like 'Entertainment!'. It’s more aggressive, more angular". [...]
NME's got the direct quote from bassist, Dave Allen: *“So far the new songs aren’t a huge departure from what we’ve done before. The biggest surprise is that we’ve been capable of getting back to our roots. A whole bunch that we’ve done sounds like ' Entertainment! It’s more aggressive.”* MP3: Gang Of Four - Damaged Goods

After short work-related stops in Medford and Eugene, we got back to our little abode in Portland and were happy to be off the road and onto a friend's couch to watch Project Runway. We listened to a lot of music on the trip which put me in a music frame of mind. And so there's Music for You: The New Pornographers - Myriad Harbor Gang of Four - Damaged Goods Busdriver - Casting Agents and Cowgirls

We've been inundated with emails and comments and death threats and fake anthrax mailings (Not funny. Seriously. Not fucking funny.) over the past five days bitching about why we ain't posting. While we appreciate the desire to read our musings, you all have to understand that sometimes we don't have time to sit in front of our computers, completely naked except for one of those beer hats, and drop gems that will make you, our readers, cool. And listen, we want to make you cool. I'm sure you've been freaking out that you haven't been cool since last Wednesday. But [...]
Sorry I'm posting this so late in the day. I have a shitty cold, spent a lot of the day in traffic, and my roommate (whose computer I actually use because mine's so old I can't even use the internet on it) is also sick, so we're sharing today. Anyway, this week's mix is suitably bleak, except for one stretch in the second quarter where it stops being bleak briefly. Listen to it while you can, songs are only up for a week, buy the music legally if you like it, and so forth. On the bright [...]
