Read the following:- "Art Pop", (see ) our new album, is here and available via posteverything and of course we have a special offer for you! Meanwhile, you may have noticed that "ART POP" has been getting some very nice reviews over the last few days, here's a small selection for those that haven't seen them - "Simultaneously brooding, lush, aggressive and lyrical, this is a reclamation of pop and rock music at their most atmospheric and beguiling." - - Michael Bracewell, The WIRE Magazine "Newman seems to have relocated the combination of sardonic intellectual wit and winning pop song craft that made Wire such an engaging (and influential) post punk prospect" - Andy Gil, The Independent "Art Pop is a finely balanced record that seamlessly fuses familiarity and inventiveness. - Wilson Neate, All Music Guide "Art Pop does exactly what it says on the tin. Githead get my vote again." - Dean Thatcher, DMC Update "Slyly subversive gems that reall Wire when they were edging into poppier territory" - John Lewis, Uncut "Gloriously demented" - Dave Simpson, The Guardian "grounded in technological modernity, not the tired styles of yesteryear." - Louis Pattison, BBC Expect plenty more like that. Meanwhile, back to the special offer.... To coincide with the release of the album we have made some very nice (if we say so ourselves!) t-shirts emblazoned with the words "ART GIT-" (go on you know you want one!) in both "classic" Red/ yellow and "Matisse" orange/ blue. We've also made up a quantity of larger sized original "GIT-" shirts (up to XXL) so all of you who "signed up" for the larger sizes will be able to get something that fits! In fact ALL the shirts are available in larger sizes AND anyone who plans to buy the album through posteverything can get the t-shirt alongside it for a special discounted price. Album and t-shirt #20.00... There's also news on the live front. One date is confirmed in Paris on the 19th June and it is highly likely that there will be warm up show in London on the 17th June. After, we are discussing some shows in Israel & Spain during the period 20th June up to the end of the first week in July. Periodically check in with the website if one of these dates might be near you. We also have a sneak preview available for you. Over the next period we will be adding various items to the "official" download page on the website. However we are giving a sneak preview to our mailing list subscribers so check out for a couple of new videos and a new desktop. From Githead's mailing list.

I'm lovin' it"), and the Ian Curtis Happy Meal - remain unconfirm-ed at time of going to press." ((( Unbelievable. Though, curiously, there have been precedents of a sort... see below (from Touch's 1986 double edition "Magnetic North")... worth quoting in full as it's so hilarious: Our Foreign Correspondent writes: Top showbiz moguls and TV personalities were were convicted last week of eating Viciousburgers at New Yorks prestigious Studio 54 disco, after the latest of a series of raids on the playground of the idle rich Virgin Record company boss, Richard Branson, 37, TV personality Dick Clark, 55, David Frost, 42, and several journalists including Michael Watts, 38, editor of a music paper, were seen consuming several burgers each in what has been described as an orgy of vampirism. It was horrific, said club-goer Richard DeNunzio of Brooklyn, they each had several corpses in their mouths. More showbiz and media names, including some well-known news reporters, are expected to be convicted as the hearings continue. The last few years have seen an increase in this bizarre cult of vampirism, of which the Viciousburger is only the latest example. Vampires are noteworthy for consuming star corpses in the form of burgers in the mistaken belief that some of the stars charisma will rub off on them; sadly, as you can see, these attempts are doomed to failure and those cultists deluded. The cult is said to have begun in the 50s with Deanburgers; these were very rare, and contained bits of Porsche wreckage and sunglasses  those cultists still alive today who tested them say they were tough but tasty. Perhaps the worst outbreak of vampirism before the Viciousburger scandal was the Presleyburger of 1977. The scandal was discovered when an attempt was made to steal Presleys body from the grave by occultists: the body was already stolen ! It now appears that it was minced down and turned into the bizarre cult food, Presleyburgers. These are said to be very expensive ($1000 a throw) and high on fatty content, but it still didnt deter the thrill-seeking showbiz crowd  Mick Jagger was said to have eaten several before his recent Wembley concert*. Heavy prison sentences imposed in Canada on Keith Richard, another vampire, stopped the spread of this disgusting cult, but with the present Viciousburger scandals it seems to be flourishing. Even now, there are unconfirmed reports of Curtisburgers, grisly burgers with hints of rope and marble. There is no truth, however, in the rumour that Hitlerburgers are freely available: they were only around immediately after the war and reserved for VIPs. *see John Myhres 1979 film He May Be Dead But Hes Still Elvis, whre Elvis body is cut up and sold in Piece-o-Presley packages and Lester Bangs unpublished review of Peter Guralnicks 1979 Lost Highway, where Lester, imagining himself present at the post-exhumation autopsy, consumes the pills in Elvis stomach. Jon Savage, 1979 (quoted in Vermorel, The Sex Pistols, 2nd edition, attributed to the Jamie Reid collection, Victoria and Albert Museum).
