The Turntable » Walk Idiot Walk

July 6, 2004

Rhetorical Question of the Day: Just how addictive is the new The Hives single �Walk Idiot Walk�? Shrouded in secrecy, the new album Tyrannosaurus Hives drops on July 20th. Word has it that new record label Universal ordered the monochromatic Swedes back into the studio after hearing the fruits of their first efforts. How does �We need more singles, boys� translate to Swedish? Anyway, if �Walk Idiot Walk� is, indeed, the end result of some uptight, tone-deaf record label suit, it�s fine by me.
