New Music Fridays: Gary Numan, "Love Hurt Bleed"

First Listen: Gary Numan, "I Am Dust"

Here's "I Am Dust," the first single from Gary Numan's upcoming album, Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind):

Gary Numan Is Starring In A Cross Between Vacation And Beethoven, Only It's His Real Life

Okay. That title might be a slight exaggeration.

Synth pop pioneer Gary Numan is a kickass musician, but he's also a husband and father. And like a lot of fathers, when the weather turns warmer and school lets out for the summer, it's road trip time for his family! Numan has loaded his wife, their three daughters, and their very large dog into a rented RV for a twenty-one-day road trip. And thankfully, he's decided to tweet the trip!

Things started out innocently enough:

3 kids, 1 wife, 1 giant dog & a rental RV. In 48 hrs we start our epic family road trip. Dream holiday or nightmare? Could go either way. GN

So it begins. Day 1. Loading the machine with enough stuff to last 5 humans & a dog for 21 days. Slightly scared. GN pic.twitter.com/sRDPJ6GXME

(BTW, how cool is Gary's house?)

Night 1. Pt 1. Persia fell out of bed at 3am. A 5' drop, big thump, much crying but she was okay. Made her a new bed at ground level. GN

Night 1. Pt 2. Wilbur the giant dog snores like a drunk lumberjack. A range of snores as well. Counted at least 8 as I tried to sleep. GN

Like any vacationing father, Numan breaks out the camera and starts posting pictures of his family:

Another '80s Song Used To Sell Us Something

I've watched this commercial three times and all I can say is... Gary Numan runs on batteries?



Oh, and one more thing: I need a cube of light.
