I've always liked the idea of Ladytron, but just have never been too sold on their execution. They're a band of two guys and two girls that makes electroclash with a distinctly dark, electronic, dance feel.

So you probably heard a couple weeks when back there were news reports about the Arkansas woman who had her 16th child and still wanted more. Fucked up right?

Previously I had no problem with Alan Greenspan, but this is just obnoxious. Of course, it's not nearly as obnoxious as Judd Fuckin' Gregg.
