Given I'm listening to "Feed Me" now, it would be difficult not to notice this. (Indeed, "A Mutual Friend" is one of my favourite Wire songs, and it's about relationships. Hell, in a certain light, Map Ref could be seen as being so...) It's just that Wire have also touched on subjects few other bands would touch, which is refreshing. - - Andrew - -- "I call, and I collect; (So just strike him softly, away from the body..." - - Blur, "Trouble in the Message Centre" ('Parklife') adw27@cam.ac.uk (academic) | http://www.lexical.org.uk ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2002 16:54:20 +0100 From: "Keith Astbury" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Old Maid Avails Unto Oxes & Liars > Doesn't sound like anything that hasn't been done loads of = > times before mind... > > In the interests of > = EQUALITY = > > Who do Oxes remind you of? Well now you're asking! I wasn't taking notes and I'm not sure I'll listen to it again, so I'll just go from memory and say they sound like any number of bands who have heard Sonic Youth, Big Black and maybe The Birthday Party - and who Peel has played over the years and who have never grabbed me (hence my sketchy answer). Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike it, I just didn't think there was anything particularly different about it... On a different note - anyone heard much by Akumen. Anything particularly recommended?
