Three cheers for lame broadcasting jokes!

Seriously, though: this cover art suggests all kind of interesting things about the theme of the album. Is the chair metaphorical? Is mass media itself the chair? Fascinating that the dude and the chair themselves are without color (or colour, as the case may be). Living Colour tend to write lyrics that go beyond the whole “woe is me” bellyaching thing, so you know there was some purpose and thought put into this beyond “Oh, that looks cool.”

The Chair in the Doorway comes out September 15 on Megaforce. I cannot fucking wait.

If you haven’t done so already, check out an excellent new track from the album, “Behind the Sun,” on LC’s MySpace page.

    Amazing band. Vernon Reid basically shits all over your favorite guitarist. I’m looking forward to it.

    Wow… that’s actually really good. It’s simple, but I really like it.

    BTW, Living Colour’s “Behind the Sun” (whichs is a really nice tune IMO) is included in Revolver’s freely downloadable Metal Mayhem compilation. So, if anyone wants a decent sounding mp3 of it, there ya go:

      Damn, I was really hoping this would be a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers song with the same title.
