Wells" Subject: Re: theoldwiththenew I wish we would see some more from the Gang Of Four... their view of the world as a disorienting forest of images in which ones hopes and dreams are used to hold the soul captive in the Market Of The Senses holds far more true today than it did when they were in their heyday... but Gill/King havent seemed to be able to tap into that thing in their recent records including Shrikwrapped and Mall... I think they might be a bit too old to be able to critique modern culture at this point... but there is still NO sound in rock like Andy Gills guitar and probably will never be... I think I would be less likely to want to see the GOF live than Wire, because their work was sort of tied to that time and there is an element of protest that doesnt age well... but I would give it a go see...

Hi although I'm new to the group, I've been a Wire fan from their beginning back in the 70's. In the course of time I've accumulated lots of Wire stuff, but life's responsibilites require me to create more space (i.e. less stuff) in my life. If anyone's interested these singles are now for sale on ebay: Mannequin/Feeling Called Love/12XU eBay # 329952411 Dot Dash/Options R eBay # 329954519 Outdoor Miner/Practice Makes Perfect - White vinyl ps 329957269 A Question of Degree/Former Airline ps 329959212 Bonus 7" included with early copys of 154 329961316 I have taken great care of these records and they are all in perfect condition. Some of the sleeves show wear. Looking foward to seeing them in DC. - Steve G. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 10:22:01 +0200 From: "giluz" Subject: RE: idealcopy-digest V3 #123 (vaious replies) > >Even though I think Joy Division sound dated, we still share some musical > >preferences, as far as it comes to Wire, I believe (which do not sound > >dated), so let's settle on me being a dog, but not blind - ok? > > > > > Oh, please rest assured that I didn't mean my comment derogatorily, but > rather meant to reflect that on this point we simply don't share a common > perspective ... anyone who knows me knows that my comparing someone in any > shape, form or fashion to a canine is at worst a completely > neutral move, as > much as I dote on my 2 (the other one is deaf ... if I had a Basenji, I > could go for the see/hear/speak-no-evil trifecta).

I didn't take it as an insult - it was just too funny (the blind dog part) not to make a comment on so I did. I've got one myself (a dog, that is) and I understand how you feel about boarding them. However, I still envy you for going to the gig. giluz ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 10:29:08 +0200 From: "giluz" Subject: RE: Beaconsfield - On Topic Post (for a change ;) > I am not real big on > the subjective review kinda thing, but it should appeal to those who > appreciate gilbert's later solo work.

Last thing I heard of him was as a producer for Michael Nyman.
