Songbook Xtended: Destroy Everything You Touch



Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch (2005) [Original Post]

I find it hard to believe anyone will hold the mid-2000s with the same nostalgic regard we currently seem to view the eighties and nineties with. Yet, here I am. Reminded of one of the noteworthy contributors to mid-2000s music. There's always a slightly unpleasant metallic aftertaste to Ladytron, but I was thrilled to stumble back upon Destroy Everything You Touch while researching the Second World War, and Irish mythology. It provided a welcome soundtrack. A song to excise building dissatisfaction with, and imagine barbaric adventures. Nice video. Not sure why I find a sunken, expressionless face miming the title quite so hilarious, but here we are. There's stronger audio on a version posted to the LadyTron YouTube, but this one has the better video. Make your choice accordingly.
