I'm not going to say anything about these guys except to say:
I totally, totally hope someone decides to yell some day, from the back of the lounge, "Judas!"
... and that Chan Poling's response is to tell the band, "Play fucking soft!"
OK: One more thing... what would a New Standards' version of Shit Hits the Fans be like? Call it a "gepunkenexperiment."
Other Music now has a digital store: reasonable prices, no DRM and killer music. Currently listening to Pylon's Gyrate, recently re-released after a couple decades' absence. I don't know, call me old: with a few exceptions, if it's not in the Trouser Press Record Guide, it's really got to win me over. (Hat Tip to Joseph Clark)
Update: Just noticed that Pylon's album now rests between PIL's Metal Box and REM's Automatic for the People on my iPod--perfect. Which also reminds me: go check out Stereogum's tribute to Automatic for the People.
