Another ridiculous Spoon is a band from Austin, Texas ... and, no, it's not a coincidence that they named their album "a series of sneaks" as they are avowed WIRE lovers. The only problem being that they suck quite a bit. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 08:15:35 +0200 From: dieter.loos@ubs.com Subject: AW: Re: idealcopy-digest V1 #86 - --MimeMultipartBoundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="AW:" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="AW:" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Haven't listend to them yet, but was interested when I heard their name as it reminds me of Brian Eno's "Here come the Warm Jets". I was an Eno fan in the early 70's starting with Roxy Music, and this is one of my favourite Eno albums. I then was happy to hear, that Wire had contact to Eno (154-period) and later he appeared on Graham Lewis' "Hail" album. When I saw Wire live they were supporting Roxy Music and when I heard "Midnight Bahnhoff Cafe" which was released sometime after that tour I belived to hear some Roxy-influence. Looks like circles tend to close. - ---------- >Von: smj / zhux > >On the recent discussion of Wire sound-alikes, have any of you heard Warm >Jets, cos they're quite Wirey... - --MimeMultipartBoundary-- ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V1 #87 ******************************
