that would DEFINITELY be deliberate skullduggery on the part of the band and not a fuck-up by someone in the production dept at the label

Maybe they didn't want royalties to go to alleged fascists? Of course it might've been easier not to cover them if that was the case.

Well I guess Ladytron are only doing to Douglas P what he did to Oscar Brown jr, who didn't get credit when Doug pinched, via Jim Jones' People Temple Choir, the lyrics from his song "Brown Baby", recorded by Nina Simone...

Brown Baby - Oscar brown jr
Brown babyBrown babyAs you grow upI want you to drink from the plenty cupI want you to stand upTall and proudI want you to speak upSpeak up clear and cloud
Brown babyBrown babyAs years roll byWalk with your head held highI want you to live byLive by the justice codeI want you to walk downWalk down the freedom road
Brown babyBrown babyNow babyLie awayLie away sleepingLie away here in my armsWhile your mommy and daddy protect youAnd keep you save from harm
Brown babyBrown babyIt makes me so gladThat you will have thingsI've never hadWhen out of men's heartsAll the hate is hurledYou're gonna liveYou're gonna live in a better world

yeah i'm kinda surprised how much the relaxed vibe also seems to work for them.
Also this is sweet:

so i had a bit of a sabbatical from ladytron that ended today when i heard them in the coffee shop by my place.
"Burning Up" is fucking blowing my mind right now.

Only a few songs in, but the new one sounds like it's copping a Blanck Mass feel?

Not a huge fan of Ladytron, I mean.
Helen Marnie is doing an online fundraiser for a solo album.
The perks get interesting around 300 GBP (or $487). I guess "worn by me" premiums are officially a thing now, and not just something Nataly Dawn does/did.

She could surely charge twice that if she promised not to launder. (._.)

Wow, she's a day in and already at 58% of the goal WITHOUT any of the big ticket stuff getting claimed yet.
For some reason I was thinking about this, and I realized that since she was in the water for presumably most of the shoot, the pool chemicals would probably override her natural, er, "essences", which would be reason enough to get it cleaned.

pretending that didn't happen
I think Reuben Wu is still wandering around doing photography, not sure if more Ladytron stuff is coming but I had a good morning listening to their albums
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 23:15 (eight years ago) link
Electroclash seems to belong to this weird other-time in my mind. Like it was forgotten as a post-traumatic memory of 9/11.

Seventeen is still a great song.

when i heard the song that riffs on the "are you being served" theme, i knew these were my people
― lute bro (brimstead), Thursday, 14 April 2016 04:46 (eight years ago) link
I don't even really consider ladytron electroclash -- the stuff pre-witching hour might as well not exist to me
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Thursday, 14 April 2016 04:58 (eight years ago) link
Light & Magic isn't a bad album. Still sounds fresh today, with all the minimal wave, cold wave, druggy stuff going on lately. It's weird that after nearly 20 years, the 80s retro thing hasn't died out yet.
― larry appleton, Thursday, 14 April 2016 05:14 (eight years ago) link
604!
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 14 April 2016 13:42 (eight years ago) link
I really Ladytron but out of their five albums, I only really rate two of them. Witching Hour is close to being a perfect record and 604 is very strong, apart from those they're frustratingly patchy on record.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 14 April 2016 14:42 (eight years ago) link
Witching Hour is close to being a perfect record
put this album on 34 mins ago cos of this thread revival, not heard it in years - and even then i only listened to it a couple of times.it's the only album of ladytrons i have.will be playing it a lot more often from hereon.hits a lot of my sweet spots
― mark e, Thursday, 14 April 2016 14:48 (eight years ago) link
velocifero and gravity the seducer are also underrated
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Thursday, 14 April 2016 15:43 (eight years ago) link
I agree, I listened to Gravity The Seducer the other night and think there's plenty of good stuff on it... 'Moon Palace' probably one of my favourite Ladytron tracks! I like the first two albums, but it's hard to argue with the idea that they came into their own and started realising their potential on Witching Hour

Yes! About fucking time ... what did people think of the two Marnie solo records that came out during the hiatus?
― Full of bile and Blue Nile denial (Turrican), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:48 (six years ago) link
I liked them, the first better than the second. that said, I can't listen to the record anymore -- I got a lot of angry email about what I thought was a positive review, and every time one of the songs comes up on shuffle I'm reminded of it and have to turn it off
― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 17:00 (six years ago) link
Nice to have them back although, come on, this sounds exactly like Broadcast!
― daavid, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 18:19 (six years ago) link
Cool, I've missed them. And I didn't know about the solo albums so now I've got something to listen to while I wait for the new record to come out.

― Google Atheist (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 2 March 2018 21:59 (six years ago) link
ok thank god the album teaser had me worried, if I want to listen to Broadcast then I listen to Broadcast or any of the 100 bands that sound like them already
