Things I learned today (Part 2)

David Pajo (ex Slint) is now the guitarist in the current version of Gang of Four. He’s the ultimate indie gun for hire. Was in Yeah Yeah Yeahs for a bit, did a stint in Tortoise and I think played a bit with Stereolab.

Pajo worked with Will Oldham too and also with Billy Corgan in Zwan.

He disliked Corgan apparently.

I listened to at home he is a tourist in the car on Sunday.

Great stuff.

Such a great album.

Brian McMahan worked with Oldham too in the early days. Spiderland nearly broke him by all accounts.

Gang of Four were a proper rebel socialist band. REM were hugely influenced in terms of their message.
