Consider Bruce's stage construction of the word "icumen" - as in "summer is icumen in" - for one of his performances (can't remember which, but it's in Eden). In Middle English "i" is orthographically interchangeable with "y" as a past participle prefix. I need a drink now.

No, he never said anything like this. He considers the current quartet to be the best band he's ever played with. I don't happen to agree, but musically they're certainly up the challenge. and yes it may sound anacronistic but I'm sure that musically > >it will still smack the pants off of N'Stink and the Backdoor Boys and > >Britney Spear me please anyday!

If you want to know what a particular release is, you should check out the discography on the Wire Page! Here It Is Again is a compilation album (track listing is in the discography). Wire EP 1980 is nothing. I tried to find it on insound.com, but the connection was slow so I gave up. Before you buy something like that, you should email the company for more details. I've noticed that these online stores are sometimes a little shaky in the details.

I think they must have started with some bad data, It's too bad; other than that they're a pretty good store. aaron ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 22:48:29 -0400 From: Katherine Pouliot Subject: Re: quote I *knew* you'd like that. ;-) K > From: "lucifersam" > Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 23:23:50 +0100 > To: "Katherine Pouliot" , > Subject: Re: quote > > You trying to get the weekend off to a bad start > madam!!!!ELO...GGGrrrrrrrrrrrrr:-) > > > >> Just a little quote for you all before I leave for the weekend: >> >> there are a million people who can come up with >> little bits. the hard work is making those bits into something. >> Jeff Lynne >> >> >> Thought you might get a kick out of that.
