I think it may have been that I just don't get into 'funny' music. Upbeat and fun, I like. I consider the English Beat's I Just Can't Stop It to be upbeat and fun. Gogol Bordello just sort of sounded like ...you know, I attribute my lack of words to my lack of coffee...to me they sounded like a joke that I didn't think was very funny. Of course, senses of humor being subjective... Jack Steve Loubert wrote: > If only they sounded like DAF. They sound like a Ukrainian version of the > Pogues - ie totally unlistenable.

And "unlistenable" and "shite" do not belong in a sentence about Gogol Bordello. I would substitute "fresh" "fun" "exciting" or "hilarious". Jack L.

Seeing this in print makes me suddenly realize that this is my many-times-daily mantra. And Tim said: "Also forked out for the This Heat box which I'm thoroughly enjoying hearing most of this for the first time. Extraordinary stuff, a lot of this sounds very 2006 to me...Health and Efficiency currently no.1 in this weeks playlist. Enjoyed listening to Repeat on a train as a huge storm broke over Lancashire.... Its a scandal these records (no pun intended) have been unavailable for so long and I hope at least the two LPs get a separate release outside the box so they can start influencing young bands like Wire have always done." I've never heard This Heat, which from what has been said about them on this list seems a huge omission in my listening (I did get to see Charles Hayward play once and he was monstrously great). Now I've seen the box in the store and I'm wondering, still, at a time when $95 is a lot of money, should I just spring for it and be grateful? Is it an absolute must have and hear?

And with good cause, too. Revolutionary Spirit IS a seminal single. Actually, I always like it when an artist I like refers to their work as 'seminal' in a matter-of-fact rather than bragging kind of way. It's like the way Brian Wilson calls himself a genius. He's not bragging, it's just the way it is. Wish he hadn't included Dalek I though. Still think that's a great album. Even so, it makes me want to email PS and tell him some of us know his place.

He adds this.... >>The Wild Swans and The Pale Fountains shared a shaky first gig together supporting Orange Juice back in the early 80bs and surprise, surprise they fcuked me over then too by switching the running order on the poster. I donbt forget anything mate. << I was at that gig, and the Wild Swans were absolutely astonishing. Absolutely the best performance by a support band I've never heard of that I've ever seen (run a close second by The Smiths supporting The Fall at the Electric Ballroom in 83). Made no odds they were third on the bill - they were the best band on the night.

I paid 40 english pounds for it...not sure what the exchange rate is, but as a CD is ten pounds that seemed ok for 6 remastered cds and a book. Get on Soulseek and download some This Heat for free and then buy the box set if you like what you hear...although I think most fans of Wire would appreciate most of their 2nd Lp 'Deceit' ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V9 #182 *******************************
