A life-size cardboard cut-out of American musician Nile Rodgers, a heart monitor, a wheelchair and a sack of potatoes are among the lost property found on Dublin’s Luas over its 10 years of existence.

three years pass...

just me, or does the opening of this song (and the whole song, really) lay down as bold a gauntlet as anything by the ramones or the sex pistols?

two more things

1) does anyone even recall the "they shoot horses..." reference in that song anymore?
2) i don't know why it didn't occur to me before that ESG owe about 85% of their shtick to Chic

Agree with most everything said above but just want to single out the always swoon-inducing "Thinking of You".

what the heck is "spacer" about anyway?

"Dance, Dance, Dance" is one of my favorite songs with my least favorite vocals.

In his book Nile gets into his idea of "Deep Hidden Meaning," or "DHM," but I find the concept as inscrutable as harmolodics.

Few songs have meant more to me than "Lost In Music"

is it just me or is there pretty much a straight lind between some of the piano chording in chic songs and detroit techno?

uh, straight *line

Guitar in that song is like Johnny Marr 101.

Surprisingly little live (no miming) footage of them from the late '70s on youtube..

Thought the revive would be about this, should be great:
