  @@wirewehear7254 I think there is a thread that leads there. Could be Adam's early association with members of the Monochrome Set, a strand of music which traversed to various post punk bands in Scotland, e.g. Josef K. The album "Dirk Wears White Sox" has much in common with some of those bands. Adam was definitely going for that style, and often risque and cryptic lyrics. A more cerebral, "clever" sort of songwriting. Just supposing.

• 
  @wirewehear72549 күн бұрын

  Well just about every record label that ever existed wanted to get the attention of the kids & their pocket money, including Decca & Do It. Adam stated quite plainly at the time that he was fed up with playing grotty dives, being ignored & living on baked beans or whatever. Who wants to live like that forever? I'm sure that stage was fun for a good while & his attitude looking back now seems to be one of fondness but it was time to go somewhere else. He still made a lot of fantastic music as a pop star (as well as a few duffers, including the ill-advised slope towards panto).

  Anyway wasn't it the 'Kings...' single that charted on re-release having been a near miss before? I might be wrong. I thought 'Dog Eat Dog' was a bona-fide hit first time out which prompted the 'Kings' re-issue. Shortly followed by Decca & Do It, who had done little to help him when he was actually signed to them, re-issuing all their old releases which just backs up my previous point. When CBS re-released 'Kings' they were just doing their job. People don't make records because they don't want them to be heard.

  Being more of an early Ants fan rather than one of his later material ive gone backwards and forwards regarding this lp, but damn it yeah its got some good tracks on it, in hindsight its an ok farewell to his old fans and a good opener for his new material. ... I still feel betrayed though. 😅, its funny how much that kind of stuff matters when you are young.

  It's a brilliant LP, still sounds great over 40 years later. Why do you feel betrayed?

  I think I got some of its lyrics figured out. But I also wonder, what does he mean by "spelled sell" in this case? I kind of figured, he is a deranged man in a position of power, and he is selling his image smartly and also in a sense placing people under his "spell", right?

  I haven't a clue what any of it might mean really, or what percentage of accuracy these ones represent. The slightest alteration to a word here or there could drastically change the meaning anyway. 'Lesson one, four letter word, one who speaks, words work for you' could be someone who makes money from their words, either verbal or written, a writer, author, orator perhaps, especially if the 4 letter word is actually 'sell'.

  Yeah it's a bit of a hidden away rarity. I'm not too sure of the chronology, but their 1985 resurgence lasted until 1991 or '92, just after the very modest at best 'The First Letter' LP. This song was recorded at Orf Vienna 7 > 9 Feb 1993 (altho' it wasn't released til 1997). So it would appear that this originated from right at the very end of Wire Phase 2. Like the LP of the same name it was released under the Wir moniker, Robert having left due to their penchant for artificial percussion at this time, but it's nothing like the LP, this being a hundred times better (notwithstanding there was a long intro of vague random sounds as I recall that I left off).

  @@wirewehear7254 Ah! Well, thx! I still skipped a bit. Had the CD back then, must say I enjoyed the slighty quieter approach to the sozns-wise sometimes overachieving Manscape - of which I had bought the vinyl first and then the CD because I wanted to hear all they had to say back then. Extra tracks. This piece here really sounds quite end of the line, I think. Reuters X IBTABA, reminded me of some criticism of The The's Sweet Bird Of Truth production overkill, too. ABIAC thus probably remains their most elegant solution to the 80s sound problem. Must say I like the attempt towards the 90s on TFL, though it didn't work out for them. They never tried sth like this again.

  @wirewehear725423 күн бұрын

  Well young 'un, back in the olden golden days, when everything was powered by gas & hydro, we had these discs of plastic called gramophone records & one had to stick a needle into the bugger in order to extract the music from it. Now these discs, you see, could be acquired in different sizes, or formats, with music available on each side of the disc, but you had to actually get up & turn the darn thing over with human hands in order to access the music on the other side of the little rascal. Anyways, the smallest ones came in a circumference not exceeding 7 inches, or 7". Now these little chaps would come with a main song, you see, known as the A-Side, that they hoped would be played on the radiogram to public people, and invariably they would also have a second song on what was sometimes known as the flipside that you weren't meant to play, you see, there were stiff penalties in place for anyone caught playing these 'flipsides', more formally known as the B-Side, or 7" B. Of course The Boer War came along and put an end to all that, but for some of us, that was our youth. Yours sincerely wirewehear esq.

  I clicked on this, basically because I'm besotted with Diane. (her wit and intelligence.. nothing simpish) Then I listened, and as is usual with good, intelligent humour based on real events. There's the truth just under the surface of "laughs". I'm not really an intelligent man, prone to looking too deep maybe, and I'm not completely on top of the nuances of world events, but, for example the despair, the hopelessness of genuine refugees tears at me. The corruption of that for their own gains by others (refugee based and those already "secure") just kills me. Confuses me to the point Io just don't know what's "right". The true skill of a comedian is to make you laugh, AND to make you think about the bigger picture, the real event, and in this Diane is a genius. Makes me laugh and cry in the same breath. And those eyes.. my gods those eyes.... OK, I may be a bit of a simp ;-)
