this totally pisses me off....if (as i've heard) the song that DD cover is 'white lines' then they can fuck off -- here's the Furious Five rallying against the thing that is hurting their communities - and the Duran covering a song that is against *everything they stood for* in the eighties - mainly greed and abuse of cocaine and wealth. Duran Duran *suck* for this move. Hypocrites. ObIDM: Found at tower outlet yesterday for a measly $4 - 'Blueprint' by WildPlanet on Warp. Nice, somewhat hard, kinda experimental techno - there's some great stuff here, all dancefloor based (some nice acid stuff here)...haven't listened to it all yet but when i do...i'll let ya know. :) mikebee ps - kent - this is in no way meant as a flame to you. :)
