I think The Commercial is credited to Gilbert/Grey/Lewis. Re the absence of bonus tracks debate; I can see the point (and also the 'off button' argument) but weren't the EP tracks part of the original 154 statement in some respect? More of an argument for including them I'd have thought. Out of curiosity, are there any figures for the sales of various Wire products? I noticed Virgin are stocking the reissues at about #16 a chuck. Anybody know if Lewis has any recording projects on the go at the moment?

I haven't been there myself (yet) but it's one of the more fashionable pick-up bars in TA. They also do exhibitions and the occasional gig once in a while.

No, I've just been reading a lot of things written in American recently; I'd normally say "maths"... so, coincidence, I guess.
