Black Strobe - I'm A Man Single Review

Black Strobe
I'm A Man
Single Review

I actually couldn't give a monkey's, a toss, or even two hoots (were I to have any 'hoots') that Black Strobe were 'instrumental in the birth of UK electroclash', since given this cover version I'd walk a million miles never to hear them ever again.

This truly sounds like a Belgian Gary Glitter on the worst bad trip imaginable. Why anyone would ever actually need or want an electro rockabilly version of this Bo Diddley song doesn't fit into any conceptual framework I can possibly imagine. This should come with an option to claim back the three minutes thirty seconds of life you waste listening to it.
