GIBSON IS CANADIAN? AND DOCTOROW!?

Damn I had no idea

Oh thanks for this, I was actively looking for new sci fi

I was unaware thst they were still active though so thanks for your post because I got some listening to do!

Oh man, what a blast from the past. I love Ladytron. Discovered them during my more hardcore goth club years in my twenties. Still listen to them when I can.

We’re gonna be killing robots in the streets by the end of the decade.
