Listening to a bunch of Ian Crause (of Disco Inferno "fame") songs. He's recorded very sporadically since the band ended, but this single from 2000 has quite grown on me.

Came across a reference to this in a book. Never heard of the magazine, but Tellus, I gather, put out weird cassette compilations of underground artists. This one caught my eye because it has a piece by Sue Hanel, an early Swans member. People like Thurston Moore swore by her ability—and this one track is pretty shit hot—but nobody knows what happened to her (common speculation is that she od'd). Anyhoo, this is some cool guitar snark.
She's a bit of a mystery, correct? Came from nowhere - appeared briefly (and brilliantly) - and then disappeared.

Right. Talented as fuck but erratic. Gira kicked her out of Swans because, as good as she was, she couldn't do the same thing over and over, and the essence of the group's sound was monotony. The guy who just published an oral history of Swans had no luck tracking her down. Maybe she found Jesus and moved to Phoenix. Maybe she od'd in a squat and was never properly identified. But everyone from that scene swears by her talent.

Hello,

I just have the original. I'm guessing this is worth it - a live Ian Hunter disc is usually a sure bet.

Dome 1. Parts of it drag, but they hit enough strange sounds and paces that I come back to it again and again. What Lewis and Gilbert did during Wire's first break is undoubtedly the most fruitful of their various non-Wire records.

Yeah, it's every bit as good as 'Welcome to the Club'. Taken from the Agora Ballroom, Cleveland; Berkely, CA; and five tracks from the Hammersmith Odeon in London - which was kind of a Holy Grail gig for collectors, though the whole show was finally released on that massive 30 disc box 'Stranded In Reality' (which I actually bought new for $300 :scared: ).

I always really liked Dome 1 and 2. You turned me onto that when I was asking for a wire primer, iirc.

That was shockingly perceptive on my part to recommend those. But I'm glad you like them. Certainly not for everyone.

Always love a good recommendation for punk music :shifty:

Is "Just Another Night" on that record? It is going to be the next thing I buy.

My proudest accomplishment in life is cajoling Inder into loving Wire. Which shows how pathetic my life is.

This is my all-time favorite Wire solo track. It always reminds me of Christmas, which is around the time I first heard it back in 86.

I woke up with Bad Night in my head this morning but I haven't listened to Commercial Zone in ages. WTF?
