Ladytron new single

Yes. Dismissed the song when i first heard it because i thought they were frickin lazy to just sound like New Order. But it's possibly my favourite from the album now.

I disagree. I can't understand why they aren't bigger than U2 or Coldplay

Well the album is consistent, as opposed to the other albums, but then again, there aren't any radio-friendly 'killer' singles on it (e.g. 17, Blue Jeans, Destroy...), and they haven't got pretentious wanky male lead singers either.
If you go to see them live, its a slightly odd experience, in that the whole crowd consists of late 30's/40's male pervs (me included), or freaky fat goths, and they sound not like a band that plays together live not very often (even though they do). It's a bit like you've invaded their front room. I'll be invading Helen and Mira's front room again though, no doubt.
Actually, i just went thru a Ladytron half hour.
I'm going to dedicate this to someone. She knows who she is. ![]()

Listening to Burning Up off Velocifero the other day and that part around 3 minutes in when the song goes off into somewhere even wilder, i was picturing and just vividly imagining seeing the song played live with the combination of gig environment + alcohol + being just a few feet away from Helen and Mira = well, ahem :p

were a lot of non fat goth lesbians there when i saw them, so can add that steretype to your list as well
Seriously considering checking them out with The Faint in a month or so although The Faint's last album sucked.
