I'm really looking forward to hearing the results. I was reading some of Graham's old '70's lyrics on the new Pinkflag site and (apart from being really good), it struck me that I can't imagine how one would attempt to sing them as they have a certain clipped, compressed style. This could account for Colin singing them in a manner that makes them even more impenetrable although I have no idea what the process of matching a tune to lyrics and song involves. I wonder if those characteristics will re-emerge in the new release? I always liked that.

What great news, not a moment too soon. And some hint of Live performance to look forward to which is great. All 4 letters of Wire its not WIE or IRE or WIR or WRE so presumably Mr Gilbert is involved? The sleeve is up on the site now...a green (possibly Turquoise) Read & Burn. I wonder if this is the fruits of the recent sessions or whether this is clearing the decks exercise from the Send/R&B material.. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2007 01:52:52 +0100 From: Tim Subject: [idealcopy] OT: BBC3 Singing With the Enemy http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/programmes/singing/episode1.shtml Unmissable TV fun this... Put two unknown, polar opposite, but equally awful, bands together and see what they come up with. So you get some ropey, default-setting Boy Band called Code5 who once supported Westlife pitted against some dreadful Nathan Barley/Shoreditch/ trustafarian types called K-Tron and the Exploding Triangles. Boy band just in it for the money/birds. The latter think they are sooo radical and arty but are clearly very posh public-school types slumming it, re-hashing Throbbing Gristles ideas with a lot less panache and style..and sound like a Klaxons remix of Skunk Annansie. The result? BoyBand come across as honest but deluded grafters who just want to make a living and wet some knickers, despite a complete lack of looks and talent. The other band come across like a bunch of muso snobs who in their pursuance of some half-baked radical Art agenda are just as cliched and unimaginative as the boy band (with the exception of their fine singer who reminds me of Poly Styrene and tries to shag one of the boy band and annoys the rest of the band by trying to meet the boyband halfway and get into the whole Pop thing...she should ditch them losers!) The twist? This mixture of camp, shouty artschool types and blokey Bricklayer types has been tried before.....so how delightful that the resulting collaboration looked and sounds not a million miles away from Frankie Goes to Hollywood! ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V10 #203 ********************************
