“Nobody has seen a movement like this before” says the fascist. He’s right in one respect. His playbook is old, the complacency of the mainstream perennial. Media complicity is nothing new, but the rocket-boost of social media, the rocket men of social media, made this inevitable

Here’s a clip of La Roux smashing up a microwave! Three years ago today we released an EP of remixes of La Roux’s brilliant version of ‘Damaged Goods’, which featured on the Gang Of Four covers album ‘The Problem of Leisure’. With thanks to Leo Cackett for the the video.

Well this should be interesting. Andy’s widow Catherine has written a novel coming out from Renard Press in April and apparently containing quite a few references to Gang Of Four . The “Sandi” she refers to is author, broadcaster and renaissance woman Sandi Toksvig

Andy had a chin to challenge any barber, angular like his guitar-playing with a dimple too deep for any razor. Here he is, trying to get a perfect shave in New York in 1980. The photograph is by his great friend, Gang of Four chronicler and legendary photographer, Anton Corbijn.
