CURRENT LISTENING:EVERYTHING GANG GANG DANCE:THE SOCIAL REGISTERY

Gang Gang Dance: Rawwar EP:The Social RegisteryGang Gang Dance: Rawwar EP:The Social Registery

Listening to everything Gang Gang Dance is not that hard. There's only one recent full length album "God's Money" in 2005 and two drip-drops of EP's " Rawwar", which came out Fall 07 and "Hillulah" an EP that dates back to 2005. Yes there are earlier albums (2004's "Gang Gang Dance" and "Revival Of The Shittiest"). But after that gush of material , the follow-up album has been slow in coming. Now that the band has been drafted to do the honors at the 2008 Whitney Biennal, there is some faint hope that all that attention will bring new music. All that talk about nu-tribal-experimentation that trails in GGD's wake might cause a raised eyebrow, but it is only a matter of time before the directional designers soundtrack their runway show with some sick Gang Gang Dance!

Marilyn Minter's Magnificent Mess!

You'll want to snap up the Marilyn Minter's monograph published by Gregory R. Miller & Co asap, because its a surefire collector's item. Minter's name has been in recent circulation amongst the fashion press because of Tom Ford's decision to drop her imagery of the Tom Ford For Men fragrance. As a spokesperson for Tom Ford Beauty announced to Women's Wear Daily, “We loved the original Marilyn Minter images, but while on a shoot with [Terry Richardson] in Milan, we decided that a sharper, more graphic approach clearly communicated the bold and provocative mood of the fragrance.” A more graphic approach doesn't necessarily mean "clean lines" though. The new ads are apparently to feature the desireable fragrance bottle placed tightly in between a woman's crotch.
