Metamatic Forums News and Announcements John Foxx news John Foxx Week at Artrocker.tv

I took the afternoon off yesterday and all hell has broken loose! Love it!

Handy hint: use the 'john foxx' tag to group all the artrocker features together, ie. http://www.artrocker.tv/artists/article/john-foxx

..and go from there!

We're really being spoilt with all this! How ace is ArtRocker?!

Yep -it's brilliant.

I'll try and keep all the links in this thread too because putting stuff out exclusively via Twitter does limit the audience, especially during working hours etc

The latest installment is the preview of a brand new track by John Foxx + The Maths:

Talk from the next album 'The Shape Of Things'

The Kevin Sampson piece is especially interesting, and talks of the process behind using Ultravox songs in the soundtrack

Townsend have just mailed me about John's XOYO shows, and included a link to the Gazelle Twins Remix of "A falling Star".
It's awful.
Remember when Prince Charles described something or other as "a monstrous carbuncle on the face of an old friend"?
That's how I feel about this.

Sounds vaguely like an orchestra tuning up in the basement.

Here's the link: A failing stir
