I'm sure it's been discussed on the list before, but how did this come about? I find it difficult to believe that Bruce was just sort of hanging around in the audience and then popped up to do one track at the end. Anyone know the story behind this show? - -ned - --------------------------------- "My decibels are most fly." http://www.gestalt-media.com/stromkern - --------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 14:32:58 -0500 (EST) From: Aaron Mandel Subject: Re: More Wire on the radio On Wed, 13 Jan 1999 aschi@bronze.lcs.mit.edu wrote: > If you're in the Boston area, WZBC 90.3 plays some Wire from time to > time, although not as frequently as I'd like. yeah, at the boston radio station i dj for (WHRB, 95.3 fm) everybody loves Wire but they don't get played much, perhaps out of fear that we'd collectively overplay them. (our rule of thumb is that new records are a third of the show and can be played every two hours; among everything else, no dj should play a band twice in a month, nor a particular song twice in a year.) but anyway, the rock department is on from 10pm to 5am M-F, and there's no shortage of angular 70s punk records. aaron ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 7:33:30 +0100 From: paul.rabjohn@tunnplat.ssab.se Subject: oh no............... oh god i read nme (for free , in a service station) today and it says elastica havn't split and the album is out soon. apparently it includes a cover of "da da da" by trio , which does not sound like much of a good idea to me............. a lot of people in the uk are trying desperately to have an 80's revival , sadly they are reviving much which never had much sign of life in the first place. but if justine thinks trio need reviving i fear the state of elastica may be worse than i suspected. i will keep you informed of developments.paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 00:51:54 -0800 (PST) From: Craig Grannell Subject: Re: oh no............... - ---paul.rabjohn@tunnplat.ssab.se wrote: > a lot of people in the uk are trying desperately to have an 80's revival , sadly they are reviving much which never had much sign of life in the first place. but if justine thinks trio need reviving i fear the state of elastica may be worse than i suspected. i will keep you informed of developments.paul > The problem is it is always the kistch elements that are revived rather than the good stuff. It is the image of the 70s / 80s that prevails in people's minds. "Poonk" rather than the exciting developments in technology, arrangements, experiemtation; eyeliner synth pop rather than quality. Revivals aren't.
