New Times is the album released by Violent Femmes in 1994. It was the Femmes' sixth studio album, and the first one not to feature original drummer Victor DeLorenzo on drums, who had been replaced by Guy Hoffman. "Breakin' Up," a song lead singer Gordon Gano had written years before, was the lead single. Its video received minor airplay on MTV and appears on the band's DVD, Permanent Record - Live & Otherwise. The album did not sell well, but featured many of the Femmes' most musically complex and lyrically inventive songs, including "4 Seasons," and concert staple "I'm Nothing." "I'm Nothing" appeared in the movie Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas.
All songs written by Gordon Gano except where noted.
The New Times is a national English language newspaper in Rwanda. It was established in 1995 shortly after the end of the 1994 Rwanda genocide. The paper states that it is privately owned, with two shareholders. They also have a Rwandan local language (Kinyarwanda) weekly called Izuba Rirashe.
It is published in Kigali from Monday to Saturday with the sister paper the Sunday Times appearing on Sundays. The New Times Online was launched in 2006. The New Times typically conveys optimistic stories about events in Rwanda.
In May 2009 Human Rights Watch (HRW) described the New Times as a state-owned newspaper in a rebuttal to an editorial article that accused HRW of sanitizing people who were attempting to negate the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The New Times did not publish the HRW rebuttal. President Paul Kagame has said that the New Times has been too servile to him and his party, and has asked the Aga Khan to launch an alternative.
New Times, New Times, New Times
Good morning, good morning, good morning
I'm the guard at one time this was rather pleasant
The poets they still had to muse over the classicism of clean shoes
But who today still knows a button stick
Well, that's the New Times, that's the New Times
That's the New Times
The girls would lie down, the girls would lie down
The girls would lie down before us
First one went dancing, first one went dancing
First one went dancing and then behind the bushes
Today you have to run through twenty places
Get drunk on saccharin and methyl
And then you still don't get them that far
Well, that's the New Times, that's the New Times
That's the New Times
Now take it easy there in the early morning
Who arrives but the brethren from the press
Now take it easy there in the early morning
Who arrives but the brethren from the press
If somewhere there lies a cadaver
Or something is foul in the state
You can be sure that a writer is not far behind
With his Excellency I only say
Hands off, hands off hands off the literature
The Laurel Wreath one gets today
Second hand so to speak from the old Empire's stories
Sold underhand at the Alexander Platz with all the wigs and costumes
Twitching from the shoulder one is informed
Well, that's the New Times, that's the New Times
That's the New Times
That's the New Times, that's the New Times
That's the New Times
