It's good to see the Dawn Of The Dead remake being given proper acclaim this week. I will also be seeing it again in the near future while its still on the big screen. I'm waiting for the big DVD box set of the original film to be released in September or so. I may, however, rent the just-released theatrical version, though, to tide me over until then.

I thought that Wire were art/punk - and probably more art than punk. They seem to always use language that would support the view that they are "artists". They write texts not lyrics, according to Bruce they "execute the items" where most bands play their songs. They have definitely said they used punk, at the time of "Pink Flag", as the then appropriate vehicle for what they were trying to do. There's little in the imagery or lyrical, sorry textual, content to put them in the same camp as most "punk" bands. Certainly they are a band apart from most of the posturing 'mockney'-voiced bands that were doing the rounds at the time of their inception, and if they were saddled with the label 'punk' that was probably because of similarities in style rather than substance, and a convenient journalistic shorthand for the writers in the music press. I tend to agree that they write 'texts' at least as much as they write lyrics:- I mean, I can't say I can recall a piece where they've EXACTLY strained themselves trying to get a word to form a rhyming couplet with some obscure first line, and thank goodness for that. The somewhat ..um..'tangental' nature of Wire 'lyrics' are a continual delight to me: kind of like the linguistic equivalent of impressionist painting, at times, where strings of words, by their obscurity, invite you to make of them what you will. Clever stuff, I think..... I *do* however wish that they'd given us the benefit of a 'text-sheet' for "Send", though...;-) Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
