Subject: Re[2]: Magazine et al.

well it only took me a month but i finally sneaked a peep at the magazine page. pretty good really. i'm still trying (and failing) to get a copy of the "dominoe" split wire/magazine bootleg , the magazine site says its australian (surprisingly) but no more than that. does anyone own this or has actually heard it? seems a bit mythical....

for what its worth i could never rate the "punk era" xtc in the same league as wire or magazine ; to me they were lightweight and trying far too hard. they worked a lot better as a pop group with things like "generals and majors" , i think they were a bit "nice" to be punk rockers.

i always associate john leckie with quite "straight" acts like the stone roses , interesting to see how he might have "polished up" wire. or would it have ended in tears......p
