Re: so why DIDN'T they tour?
Well, I'm not sure I really thought "Push the Button" sucked... I just got bored with it pretty quickly. It's like Tom and Ed are really talented sleepwalkers. Thing is, we know what they can do when they're awake.

As for US radio, I'll stand by my assessment, especially as college radio is typically low-powered (I literally mean wattage here) and also sliced up into programming chunks. The interesting thing, of course, is that electronic music has been dominant on US radio for at least the last ten years: it's called hip-hop.

As David Byrne once said: lyrics are a way to get people to listen to music longer than they would normally.
