Now, don't get me wrong -- I love Gang of Four, or I did before everyone apart from Andy Gill left its ranks. In any case, this is their new single.
Just seems a bit desperate for attention, no?

Yes to all of the above, but hey ... it got them a write-up in WaPo. Still .... cheap and desperate, if you ask me.

Oh, and thanks for fixing my pic, Scott. It's been a while, and my mind is eroding.

I respect that Andy wants to keep going, keep expressing himself and keep making music, but I really wish they wouldn't call this endeavor Gang of Four.
