Gang Of Four's music is paradoxical: both cold and exciting. They don't make music like this today...

[MarkEdwardBlacksmith]

5:45 pm - that's the time when news used to be on the television.

[Max Shea]

I used to think he was saying "watch new blood on the idiot screen," which works too!

[SuperTlss]

Is this an alternative version or something? Because on my version the bass is different

[DefTheMarxist]

@Crystallographer00 most definitely 

[droote]

@OrionWong1 Isn't it obvious? It's about how people sit idly by and watch wars, genocides and blood being shed like it was some kind of entertainment show. It's about how people are politically apathetic and find the horrors in the world to be nothing but entertainment, instead of being moved and angered by it.

[OrionWong1]

Can someone tell me what is the message of this song? Is it about horrible celebrities?

[saucilio1]

[ROCKSLIDZ]

 Guess what? I hope to see them very soon, they're on tour :)

[lyonslaforet]

They're the best post punk band in the history of rock with Wire! I've seen Wire live and I would love to see Gang Of Four live!
