Ladytron

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Anybody seen them?

They're playing here this weekend and I'm wondering if they're worth seeing live.

They are coming to Baltimore also. I classify Ladytron as music which Gay Robots would enjoy.

I think I've heard them, but I don't recall when.

Seeing as I'm not a Gay Robot, I think I'll pass.

Yes, but you might also go if you are interested in Gay Robots.

So, I googled "gay robots" (apparently, I'm more interested in them than I was previously aware).

Came up with this:

http://home.globalcrossing.net/~variable/gayrobot.html

and according to Wikipedia, "Gay Robot" was an Adam Sandler bit which turned into a sitcom pilot for Comedy Central.

Gay Robot was originally a comedy bit on Adam Sandler's fifth album, Shh...Don't Tell. In the sketch, a group of friends are watching football when the neighbor calls to let them know that his invention, Gay Robot, is coming over. Gay Robot is very good with football statistics and is very horny because he doesn't know any other gay guys. The sketch consists of Gay Robot constantly trying to entice the others into homosexual acts with him. In 2006, Comedy Central filmed a pilot for a TV show based on the comedy bit, which has yet to air. It is likely that it never will. The robot, voiced by Nick Swardson, discovers he is gay after a wine cooler is spilled on him and fries his circuit board. The show is a Happy Madison production. Clips are available on YouTube, MySpace, and Grouper.com.

A full-length high quality free download of the Gay Robot pilot episode is available at BitTorrent.com.

Posters were also seen in the movie Grandma's Boy. It was shown as a new video game.

Nick Swardson has stated that a cartoon version of Gay Robot is in the works.

Would I like it? I am pro gay robot marriage after all.

Yeah, so, long story short, that robot listens to Ladytron.

That undermines the sanctity of heterosexual robot marriage and the robot terrorists will win!

They're coming to Philly shortly.

Did you notice that they are one of the "main icons" on Mac's Myspace page?

I've got a Ladytron track on my gym mp3 player. Bit of useless and uninteresting information for you there. Enjoy.

Do you think they were inspired by this? I've always liked the song but their outfits are embarrassing! I'm glad men don't dress like that anymore!
