after reading the buzzkunst stuff. i had a look at a site which had photos of
howard and pete shelley together at that gig a while back. now i don't think
working with shelley will prove to be a mistake, but my god, those denim
shorts certainly were. what was he thinking of ?
incidentally i've been playing the live magazine 'play' album lately. i'd
considered it a bit throwaway previously but it's better than i thought. and
the 'wilderness' remix of the 'luxuria' track on the 'public highway' 12"
single is just as great as i remembered. but then the album version is one of
the few (perhaps only) luxuria tracks that stands comparison with magazine at
their finest.

Combination of Beatles, Who, Wire and sometimes REM...
Well worth checking out imo.
Personally they are one of my alltime fave bands and I rate Robert Pollard
[his Bobness] as the best singer of all still existing bands.
He's a wizzard of weird and touching compositions and, like early Wire, he
likes to stuff his album with loads of short little gems.
There not many geniuses around lately, but surely here's one!

Best to start with "Bee Thousand", "Alien Lanes" and "Under the Stars Under
the Bushes" But their later [and earlier] work is also quite fabulous.

the two tracks you have are quite recent and pretty unrepresentative. they 
come from the failed attempt at 'commerciality' which was their LP on 
Creation from 2 or 3 years ago called 'Do The Collapse'.
Bob (Robert) Pollard is the main man and they've been going since, oh 
1986/87-ish. Bob tends to write an LP every 3 months and releases them under 
various names released by many different labels including Matador(it's 
murder trying to keep up with them all to be honest).
GBV output, in the main, could be fairly safely described as lo-fi tuneful 
rock (unless they have a 'budget', see above...), main influences being The 
Beatles and The Who (most classic 60's/70's rock).
Bob also happens to be a bit of a Wire fan... ;) ..and he likes a bevvy.
'classic' GBV LP's...'Alien Lanes', 'Bee Thousand', 'Under The Bushes, Under 
The Stars'...i'd also recommend the release by Robert Pollard & Doug Gillard 
entitled 'Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department'.
not everyone's cup of tea, but i luv 'em.
hope this helps a bit! cheers, ian.s.j.

well, almost the last word...

attention Mr. Lynn, i meant to say previously that once you've got the first 
3 Magazine LP's... then 'Play' is the only other thing you'll really need!! 
it's a fairly good representation of the band during/after the release of 
'...Soap' and features Robin Simon (ex-Ultravox) doing a really good job of 
filling John McGeogh's boots.
(trivia...Mr.Simon didn't last too long with Magazine, apparently he got the

Absolutely. Play is a very good live album. Most of it is on the Box Set BTW.

As well as his drug habits, I always thought Robin Simon left because he 
ddn't contribute from a writing point of view - just played JMcG's riffs very 
accurately...

Yes, you are correct - Akron is in Ohio.  However, I think that GBV hangs
out more near the Dayton area.  

(And, that's about as far as I want to take my Ohio geography.  I live in
Seattle.  I know as much about Ohio as you do! (^_^))

I second Bart's recommendations and descriptions.  "Bee Thousand", "Alien
Lanes", and (sorry Bart) "Under The Bushes, Under The Stars" are good
starting points.

Editor of a mag called The Big Takeover, which is well worth seeking out. 
Seems to come out about once a year! Carried a wire feature about 18 months 
ago.

yep. the new ish just arrived in my mailbox, btw, & while i can't quote
chapter & verse, the usual spot-on references to wire's role as major
influences on this, that & the other band are all there.

Subject: [idealcopy] Only Ones

don't know whether any other readers liked the only ones, but i finally
managed to get a (2nd hand) copy of the peel sessions album that i didn't get
round to getting when it was released and have been after for ages. there's
some great versions on it, particularly the 1978 one with 'the beast'
(absolutely fantastic version) etc that i taped off peel at the time and which
was a major feature on my playlist at the time. peter perrett - such a wasted
talent eh ?
keith
p.s. saw them in liverpool as well ian - were you there (1980) ?

now me:

yes, very good zine, chock full o' reviews and interviews. jack is also 
formerly of the band springhouse, and his current project is called last 
burning embers. i haven't heard the new stuff yet, but the springhouse 
material would probably appeal to fans of dreampoppy sorta stuff, perhaps the 
chameleons if i had to name a band. i'm sure there are better comparisons but 
i can't think of one right now.
