Nice idea. Perspectives and Distortion is in there too, amongst items by Palais Schaumberg, Les Vampyrettes, Die Toten Hosen & Abwarts. Nylon's slighty off-kilter, dubby/funky album has aged very well I think. Dating from 1982, and produced by Adrian Sherwood, the title is a nice pun on the 1957 Sinatra movie "Pal Joey". Features a great, incredibly lugubrious version of Jailhouse Rock. There's a recent interview with her, http://www.3ammagazine.com/litarchives/oct2001/interview_judy_nylon.html which has some interesting perspectives on Eno. Nylon was famously the person who brought an album of harp music to Eno convalescing in his flat, which, when played very low, mixing with environmental sounds, inspired the idea for ambient music.

A chap and his sister (The Shark)who memorably drummed, played guitar and sang at the same time. Worth catching I'd suggest. Unfortunately won't be there myself as am flying to Belfast. Cargo is a good venue - a bar area with plentiful outside seating (not much use in this weather though) and a separate room for the music which gets about a couple of hundred in (another bar at the back)- not too dissimilar to the Garage. Can get very packed so I'd suggest getting in there early and getting to the front. In response to Tim's hotel query, there's a Holiday Inn Express at Hoxton within walking distance of Cargo - http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/925/en/hd/lonct?crUrl=/h/d/ex/925/en/map searchresults&rpb=hotel&_requestid=1367170 or there are now a range of Travelodges etc at Kings X which is two tube stops away.

It features extensive interviews with band members, some wonderful rare photos, a preface by Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner, and a whole lot more. Absolutely one of the best books in the series - trust me on this one. Here's a very brief teaser... *** In contrast with punk's multicoloured sartorial assault, Wire were predominantly black-and-white. Lewis recalls that the "conceptual angle of what [the performance] should look like" included vetting the colour and style of their clothing. In 1977, he notes, "we were down to 'it's black, white and pink'" (quoting "It's So Obvious"). "Plain, dark clothing evolved because we didn't want any distractions," explains Gilbert. "We didn't want people thinking we were a rock band." They also shunned stereotypical punk gear, favouring more theatrical touches. Newman, for example, occasionally went barefoot and sported a surgical smock. Gilbert describes this as "an escaped mental patient look." Still, Gilbert himself admits to some misguided style choices: "I had this ridiculous affectation of wearing ballet shoes onstage. With pink bed socks." That said, Wire knew where to draw the line: they were briefly managed by Roxy Club founder Andy Czezowski, but, as Newman points out, "He got sacked because he wanted to buy us pink leather trousers." Unsurprisingly, early audiences expecting punk rock were sometimes confused. Wire spurned what were, notwithstanding a confrontational attitude and new habits like spitting, the tired norms of rock performance. In addition to avoiding unnecessary musical and physical gesture, Wire didn't drink or smoke onstage and weren't shambolic. They were mostly affectless and uncommunicative: they didn't banter or encourage audience participation. Gilbert was well aware that Wire didn't please everyone: "It's their Friday night. They go out to see a punk band, jump about, scream and spit-that was the orthodoxy of the time. People coming on as if they'd come to mend the fridge wasn't what audiences were looking for." http://33third.blogspot.com/2008/11/wires-pink-flag.html __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages MARKETPLACE - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --- From kitchen basics to easy recipes - join the Group from Kraft Foods Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
