What did the VeeVV (if I'm remembering the name correctly) stuff sound like? I remember the letter from a band member in the Offense Newsletter (the main zine to which I contributed stuff in the early '80s) relating the name-(&, I guess, direction-)change, though for the longest time I mistakenly thought that band included refugees from Clock DVA instead ... guess that was The Box, though.

A good two-prong attack. Loop it and clear out your (least) favorite room.<< The above is from an article entitled 'Sound As A Weapon' on the Perfect Sound Forever webzine at www.furious.com/perfect/index/weapon Maybe someone should tell these guys about 'In Esse' and Disinfomation. And there's more... this comes from an 'Invisible Jukebox' type session sprung on Dead C guitarist Bruce Russell in Opprobrium 1(www.info.net.nz/opprobrium/): >>WIRE ‘Mary Is A Dyke’ from Behind The Curtain CD [EMI] O: It shouldn’t take you too long to get this one. Bruce: So it’s not the really tricky Gate one I’m not going to get? [song starts] Bruce: I listened to this this afternoon, so I know that it’s from the first ever demos recorded by Wire. It’s called ‘Mary is A Dyke’, the first track on the Behind The Curtain CD, I think. I wasn’t impressed with that particular track, actually. It’s interesting that a lot of their excitement was reliant on the fantastic production their records received, and really, they weren’t that much more exciting in their raw versions. I’d sooner sit down and listen to the records. I’m not such a huge fan that I have to hear everything they ever did.<< Wire continue to infiltrate every damn site on the net! Just thought I'd mention the ATP webcast (www.alltomorrowsparties.co.uk) - all tracks except 12XU seemed even better than the RFH versions and the closing Drill is a must hear - sped up considerably, very few lyrics remaining and some great screaming from Lewis! Also Colin seems to start transforming into a duck whilst they dugga. Just heard the Hox 'It-ness' album which I'd rate as Lewis' best ever work without Gilbert in tow... Hey Fall fans! Leave poor Brix alone!

Really good, although I think my modem is too slow, cos the pic keeps freezing and MediaPlayer is forever rebuffering...is there a way to save the broadcast to disk , anyone?
