Thirty-five years after releasing The Modern Dance, Pere Ubu delivered Lady from Shanghai, an album that bandleader David Thomas described as "dance music, fixed." That's a pretty bold declaration, and almost as attention-getting as the band naming its 2006 album Why I Hate Women (after a fictional novel). Dance music may or may not need fixing, but for a band as dedicated to questioning authority and assumptions as Pere Ubu, even the mindlessness of a hip-shaking beat could become the enemy.

There was a time when the History cable network was known as the “Hitler Channel” because its schedule was so dominated by programming about the Second World War. Then, like many cable channels that have strayed far from their original mandates, the network discovered cheap reality shows, and now you’re more likely to see something like “Ice Road Truckers” on History than a WWII documentary.
