(at HER suggestion...) have you ever hated someone so much that you actually LIKE them? hahahhahahahahha...i'm too old for this... on the upside, (depending on which side you are looking at it from) i might be an uncle ! what does any of this have to do with Wire or music in general? absolutely nothing...but i hardly post anymore so i decided to aimlessly ramble... but for the sake of quasi-relevance...what is the general consensus of the Githead album? does anyone know if Mr. Gilbert or Mr. Lewis have any plans for any releases/re-issues in the near future, either solo or in collaboration? did the My Bloody Valentine boxed set ever come out?

To the BBCs credit it was left in. Jools made a joke out of it by getting the audience to sing along with the still droning moog. The Fall all trooped off at the end of the song....bands normally hang around and join in the communal 'vibe'. The Fall also refused to take part in the opening jam session where all the bands play at the opening of each show, instead waving to the audience and pulling faces as the camera panned to them. The performance was 'I Can Hear the Grass Grow' and 'Blindness'. The current Fall band were on good form, MES was typically shambolic, half arsed and incomprehensible....and if you hadn't heard him before (as a lot of viewers won't have) you'd probably wonder what all the fuss was about...he just sort of whined a bit over the music. For 'Blindness' MES wore one leather glove a-la Alvin Stardust, and budged the current ladyfriend out of the way to fluff the keyboard intro. The Go Team would be great if they didn't dress in 80s sweatbands and jogging gear the 118 118 men off that advert. Athlete were the most appalling thing here, and their ambition seems to be write songs that the producers of the next series of The X-Factor will use to soundtrack the slo-mo bits where people get rejected by the judges and cry (instead of Coldplay). Utter bollocks. Still, as our overseas counterparts are keen to remind us...we are very lucky to have this programme. At least the Manic Street Preachers weren't on. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 03:10:07 +0100 From: Tim Subject: Re: [idealcopy] it's buried in there somewhere...

Kevin Shields is playing live with Patti Smith as part of her Meltdown thing apparently. He's also been asked to curate an ATP event on the proviso that he reforms My Bloody Valentine...apparently he's up for curating but not playing. > > RL ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V8 #135 *******************************
