Magazine hardly conquered the sales charts, no? Or is that music is no longer his main bag? ((( Music hasn't been his main bag for many years. I believe he is director of some London-based photographic archive. (I also mean to ask this obliquely about Bruce Gilbert.) ((( Suffice to say that Bruce is not in regular employment. Thanks to Kevin for the heads up on the Desmond Simmons site. Alone On Penguin Island is a particular favourite of mine. His Myspace site describes him as "Desmond Simmons of WIRE". Bit cheeky eh ?

I think he packed it in a couple of years ago, but not for any musical reasons. >>(I also mean to ask this obliquely about Bruce Gilbert.)<< Bruce is now officially eligible for a state pension. And a free bus pass! I'm not aware that he ever did a full-time job like Devoto. Like a lot of intermittently-employed people in the artistic world, I guess he signed on the dole when he wasn't Wiring/Doming/Disobeying/Shedding etc Mark ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V10 #472 ********************************
