Otis, I would hate you to think that there is a distinct lack of interest in Magazine. Honestly I have avoided throwing in my two cents here just because it is so predictably right up my alley. My brother had a copy of the Spiral Scratch ep, back when even to have heard it was a rare event. That suc...

How strange to transpose the opening line of Sound Of Music where Dead Souls should have been! Julie Andrews or Gogol? I'll stand by Dead Souls. The reduction in the drumming workload for Steve Morris as New Order's career progressed was a crime. They created some wonderful sounds with a drum-machin...

Mike, I love your description of Joy Division's music being 'direct from someone's soul'. That in a nutshell seems to be why so many of their followers have been unable to create anything even close to what Joy Division achieved. Otis, where could they have gone after Closer? Obviously the synthesis...

Guided By Voices, don't be put off by Anthrax. It is a track that has grown on me over the many years since it was released,but is by no means representative of either sound or the quality of the rest of Entertainment! Although if those first three Wire albums did leave you cold, I don't know what t...

It has taken me a while to get to this thread. I was fortunate enough that my older brother was in England at the beginning of the 80s. Being the avid NME reader he was he returned with a swag of the Postcard singles. I cherished a beat-up cassettes worth of these for about 12 years, until on one of...

Wow, this is a thread I have sadly neglected. Well no time to catch-up now so I shall just dive in head first. Miss.Buenos Aires. Your dissection of Pynchon et al brought back memories of reading The Runaway Soul by Harold Brodkey. A much anticipated publication, but what a turgid read. The experien...

2004 is proving to be a satisfying year for buying music. A lot of great stuff already mentioned. I enjoy Franz Ferdinand, but even as I listen to them I don't see them having a long term place in my listening. Nothing wrong with that, some of the best music is nothing if not disposible. Best new ba...
