...Attack. Still, the easiest explanation for the persistence of the electronica label is the lack of a regular vocalist. After all, how many rock bands can you name that don't have a singer? In keeping with this idea of unconventionality, the band somehow managed to play a sterling, albeit too-short, set and escape the stage without uttering a single word. This disrespect for the traditional protocol of the rock band concert goes a long way towards explaining why Death In Vegas' music, both recorded and live, is as good as it is: the band just doesn't care...
...more troubling is that the First Lady has been reluctant to take stances on important, albeit divisive, issues pertinent to her candidacy.

Whilst Iggy was crooning all acoustic like and you were paying attention to the audience, his band members ambled out sans subtlety and picked up their instruments, so that when the next song is loud and fast, it's neither surprising nor especially heartening. Is Iggy, y'know, disavowing this soft and earnest crap he was just feeding us? Makes it worse if even he doesn't have his heart in it. This new song: "Ya yo hablo espaol" goes the refrain ("Espaol...
