Gang Of Four - Natural’s Not In It (download MP3)

As reported by David:

Jon King. Gang of Four frontman and… Managing Director, Story Worldwide

“Before this Jon was Business Head, Europe, for ScreenRed, a retail communications company specialising in the delivery of rich media content across IP networks for major corporates. His primary client  was Sainsbury’s, for which he led the development and delivery of a groundbreaking customer facing screen based marketing  programme which produced significant sales uplift.”

I don’t actually begrudge King for the work he’s been doing - some of it does sound pretty beneficial to society. But I do find it incredible that the same man who sang with such passion about consumer culture in Entertainment! and Solid Gold could be developing marketing programmes for Sainsbury’s. I almost want to cry.

It’s especially strange to think he is right now touring the country and singing those same old vitriolic songs.

Another day, another dollar, eh Jon?

Funny old world. Gotta make a living though, eh?

The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Remember Lot’s wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the perfect life
This heaven gives me migraine
The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
