Justice Makes Pretty Music For Pretty People

Keeping with Stereofork's love for all things from Ed Banger Records, the new Justice track from their forthcoming EP D.A.N.C.E. is our new soon-to-be-burnt-out-on song for the summer. It's an extended version of uber-upbeat track D.A.N.C.E., with the cheeriness turned up to eleven.

They are also working on a new full length due out in June, still without a title. The EP is due from Ed Banger Records on April 16th.

Nice shoes.. wanna mope?


The joy revision continues. New Balance has announced it will be producing a limited edition 'Joy Division' trainer to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the band's inception. Details such as the iconic album artwork of their post-punk classic "Unknown Pleasures," the lyrics "Step Inside" from "Atrocity Exhibition" and a nod to Factory Records' comprehensive numbering system ("Fact 10") grace the austere white sneakers. No word yet on price or if Ian Curtis has rolled over in his grave, risen from the dead and entered himself into a 2K Walk-And-Run. But hey, miserablists care about physical fitness too. Ready, set.. goth!

Keith Richards Snorts Father


In what is likely to win the gold medal at this year's Comedy Olympics and be beaten to death (oops...) by every comedian under the sun by next week, it was reported today that Rolling Stone's resident paleontology expert Keith Richards once snorted his father's ashes...oh and they were totally cut with blow. Understandably, Richard's mother voiced her displeasure over his actions but good ol' Keith made good by replying, "Mum, don't worry, I'm savin' the good stuff for you..." Awww! How cute!

I will now turn this story over to the rest of the Stereofork newsdesk so they can weigh in on today's events.

Wow. We're like Weekend Update on SNL except unemployed and not visible.


Bryan: Vampire Keef proves once again that we're all pussies, wot with our weak drugs and all. Good show, I say.

Steve Jobs is Satan.














Where is Leopard? Apple TV is only being bought by geeks that want to hack it. How many people are really going to pay $600 for an iPhone? Jobs caves and gives EMI variable pricing, and spins it by claiming an unprotected AAC file (no, they're not going to be .mp3 format) is a "premium" product.

Furthermore, differing file types and variable pricing will complicate the stark hand/glove simplicity of the iPod/iTunes ecosystem. Get ready to be iTunes customer support for all your technoramus friends and family. Fuck you, Apple.

Then today the EU smacks Apple with another antitrust suit, this time centered around price fixing with their major label bedfellows. Oh, and there's the little matter of a stock options probe...

Apple stock, already over $90/share, goes up $1.35. Who the fuck is buying it?

Could it be... Satan?
