Subject: Re: [idealcopy] New Wire Album

I can't comment on you attitude toward the new album as I haven't heard it,
except to say 'the only constant is change', and if an artist chooses to
continue a theme, change a theme, or go in a new direction that's
his/her/their prerogative .It's better than offering the same old same old in
new packaging, which by your account they've done, albeit with a new slant.
As
for 'rudeness' I went to see Dead Can Dance September of last year and when
someone (male) in the crowd yelled 'I Love You Brendan' he retorted' Well Fuck
You  Creep', Artists, like us, don't always feel like 'smooching to the crowd'
and have every right to just 'be'...(though in Brendan's case he was 'over the
top')

I do however feel that wire charge excessively for their product(s)
which is why this retired male hasn't purchased their last two offings(I too
own pretty much every release but their last 2) much as I'd like to the cost
is too much. Ari
