The interview with John Robb veered from the interesting to the cringe-worthy. Robb was clearly determined to talk about Pink Flag and very little else, and Graham didn't exactly agree with all his views. Graham and Colin talked quite a lot. Robert answered one, but was clearly uneasy. Really don't think Robb made a very good job of the interview TBH. As for the gig.Pretty much the same set as Leuven the other night. Sound on the opening number (Circumspect?) was pretty dire, for those of us down the front at least, and had me fearing the worst. The situation was quickly remedied though and the second number Our Time was much better. And by Mr Marx's Table - which hadn't really done it for me the other night - they were away. Great version tonight! Unlike the other night when they had ended with a new number iirc, they ended with a barnstorming version of I Don't Understand. Same encores as Leuven - Boiling Boy / The 15th / 12XU followed by Lowdown / 106. and ending with a pretty awesome rendition of Pink Flag, with Graham continuing yelling after it finished. The new material is already starting to register. I incurred much ribbing from Mr Bursa about my reference to one number sounding like Julian Cope (and even more for having referred to a Bolan-like swagger on I Don't Understand!), but hey. I stand by it. Sounds very Julian to me!! Margaret has settled in well, and indeed I thought the band seemed tighter tonight all-round, which is obviously understandable. It may be my imagination but Graham seemed to be enjoying it more tonight. My mates enjoyed it, too. One's not into Wire, so I wasn't sure if he would, whilst my other mate (who was a big fan of the old stuff but didn't get Send), really enjoyed the new one which features Colin & Graham on joint vocs on the chorus (very catchy it is too - it's lodged in my mind already). He also thought Agfers sounded 'Krautrock', and I guess it did. And that's about it other than to say Graham wore a very nice woolly hat with a star on it! ; ) They're back, folks.

A fine time had, and I certainly walked home with a "Bolanesque Swagger" myself! There was a camera crew at the WireTalk and also at the gig for at least part of the time...so there may be footage somewhere. Oh and there are new T Shirts, black with the Read and Burn logo across yer chest with '08' next to it. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 May 2008 00:14:07 +0100 From: Tim Subject: Re: [idealcopy] O.T: TRULY amazing (Uri wants one, so will Tim and so will you) Nice, but i'm saving up for one of these!!! http://www.pacemaker.net/device/ Ari wrote: > http://www.musiciansfriend.com/document/yamaha/pocketrak_pocket_recorder?doc_id=103481 > > > when you've read the article scroll down to just below the article and click on Musicians Friend 1 & 2, wow!!- as Uri's says, the perfect bootleg device.
