Gang of Four:

http://www.pampelmoose.com/mspeaks/?p=1113"So November 7th I leave for London - arrive Nov 8th, frantic rehearsals and then leave the 9th for Istanbul, Turkey where we play on the 10th, our first show since May when we played Bergen, Norway and the Donhau Festival in Austria. After Turkey we return to London to add more musical ideas to the pot for a new ‘album’ to be ‘released’ in 08. Accordingly I have started a new category in the blog called ‘New Gang of Four album’ - by clicking on that category interested parties can follow my ruminations on what exactly a Gang of Four recording means in 2007….
And what does that mean? Well regular readers of this blog will know that I have nothing but disdain for the CD. That format is essentially over, the irony there being that the CD was introduced in the 80’s as the ultimate delivery system of music for generations to come; unfortunately for some, we have learned that ones and zeros have a habit of being very mobile when packaged correctly for delivery. So for me, [as in the others may not agree] no new G4 music on CD. 180 gramme vinyl with accompanying MP3s yes, ditto T-shirt, some kind of exclusive access. How about via a mobile phone company? Or only available via the Gang of Four web site? The best thing though - no record label….to be continued. Meanwhile I’m switching out the Gang of Four html web site to a blog so that folks can comment, send rude notes and generally dick around on it…..stay tuned."
