[lbo-talk] distinction

[B.]

I have to admit, the times I've listened to your show
you've played some good stuff. I know you're a Gang of
Four fan; I'm seeing them tonight (original lineup)
here in Dallas. Word is their set is 80% stuff from
Entertainment!, thankfully.

You may be interested in Nardwuar's interview with
Gang of Four from only a few months back (Nardwuar --
something else). He asks the if they ever played with
The Clash. "No, The Clash were too right wing for us,"
Dave Allen replies. "THE CLASH WERE TOO RIGHT WING FOR
GANG OF FOUR??" Nardwuar asks incredulously. Dave:
"Absolutely."

Congrats on the accolade.

author and Left Business Observer editor Doug Henwood,
never uses music as on-air filler. Henwood plays
cuts-post-punk, Russian pop, out rock-that hit hard.
I've never heard a better setting for Gang of Four's
harsh grooves and social critique.       -Fred
