Nerditional Information: Do you remember S’Express? Yes, that is the dance music act that had a major hit with “Theme From S’Express” in 1988. I didn’t even know they were still active, but apparently they released a single called “Stupid Little Girls” on Kitsuné in 2007 – and that one’s actually pretty good!

Another artist that I hadn’t heard from in a while is Mike Patton, former singer of Faith No More. After leaving Faith No More, he released a couple of interesting, but also very strange records from Mr Bungle, Phantomas and other obscure projects. Nevertheless, he is a truly great vocalist, and I was happy to hear his cooperation with the truly talented Qemists .

Oh, and there is also a very interesting….errr…..”social experiment” by Make The Girl Dance that was “documented” in video form (NSFW!).
