Love Letdown

Have you ever wanted to hear a more tuneless, less funky version of Kanye West's Love Lockdown? Well, here's your chance!

Hotly tipped new rock band White Lies - who are actually quite good - popped into Radio One's Live Lounge on Wednesday and proceeded to beat Kanye's song over the head, shoot off its kneecaps, tie it up in a sack, drive it to the river, dump it in the river, drop a piano on it, drag it to the shore, hack it up with chainsaws, feed it to a crocodile, which they then killed, filleted and roasted over the burning embers of a drum machine they'd stolen from Kanye's studio and done a wee on.

You can listen to the resulting, tuneless dirge on the Radio One website.

But you won't like it.

80s revival continues apace

This year, the 1980s music revival has given us Ladyhawke (Cyndi Lauper), Keane (Nik Kershaw), The Saturdays (Bananarama), Adele (Alison Moyet) and Kylie Minogue (Kylie Minogue).

So far, so good. But what about all those miserable electro-goth rock bands? Who is representing them?

Step up White Lies, who are The Cult, Joy Division and Depeche Mode all rolled up into one long cigarette of dark. Enjoy!
