I love Broadcast, they have a new album this year, this time with the entire band, not just the twosome who made Tender Buttons.

Come On Lets Go is one of my all time favourite songs

god, that whole album is genius. each of their albums is completely different and amazing and i have absolutely no doubt that their forthcoming project will be any less gorgeous.

wouldn't it be nice to hear a change of form for just one song or so and hear Trish belt something out?

How about some kudos to Roxy Music (the early,good,incarnation of that band) who came up with the name 'Ladytron'?

I thought a Ladytron was some kind of device for the removal of unwanted lady-fuzz.

Could be.

I found this on wikipedia:-

'"Ladytron" is a song by Bryan Ferry, recorded by his band Roxy Music and appearing on their eponymous debut album. The English band Ladytron took their name from this song.

The song has distinctive instrumentation, including an oboe solo, liberal use of the mellotron's famous "three violins" tape set, and much processing of the other instruments by Brian Eno via his EMS VCS3 synthesizer and tape echo. The sound in the start of the song was created by Brian Eno, after Bryan Ferry asked him to produce something reminiscent of the Lunar Landing.

Lyrically, it presents Ferry as a Casanova-style seducer of women, whilst being simultaneously enraptured by them. Another interpretation is that the Ladytron is a female robot (hence the name), being seduced by Ferry.'
