Saved by the bell . . . that was a cup . . . until it was struck

Temporarily stopped myself from checking out early Talking Heads by listening to old Wire again.

It was the right decision.

An ongoing series:

  • Sonic Youth, 'Sunday' (A Thousand Leaves)
  • blaknoisewhitesoul, 'RuleBreaker'
  • Wire, 'French Film Blurred' (Chairs Missing)

  • XTC, 'Helicopter' (Drums And Wires)

  • The Rakes, 'Dark Clouds' (B-side to 'Retreat')
  • High Priests, 'Hibernation'
  • Update 11/11/ 22
    The tragedy that is finding great tracks on MySpace 15 years ago but not being able to refind them in 2022. Step forward blaknoisewhitesoul and Down the Tiny Steps. Both from Scotland, both found on MySpace and, sadly, both now largely lost to the ether. The High Priests and Superqueens were also found on MySpace back in the day but thankfully have been found on Spotify. (I especially like the High Priests track.) Dr Who was a WSPUS member from Chicago. Nice bloke. The track 'London Town' has some guest vocals from Gee Vaucher of Crass fame. Sadly, I can't find the track anywhere. Hopefully it will turn up again one day. I remember that I liked it.
