Yeah I know we're not supposed to do movie reviews or anything like that in this space. But what the heck. Buy this. Gang of Four had a lousy record deal back in the day, so this is a remake instead of a greatest hits package. The original band re-recorded many of the great songs that countless poseurs are copying today. You know who you are, Bloc Party.

You can get the CD for less than fifteen bucks, and the lads might actually see some of it. Yes, I know "Capital (it Fails Us Now)" is on the album. So is "To Hell with Poverty." The irony drips.

Rummy can use this for recruiting:

The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my self-respect
So I got into camouflage

The girls they love to see you shoot

I love a man in a uniform
