[lbo-talk] Blixa Bargeld Reads Hornbach

[Alan Rudy]

Me, I liked Wire's Pink Flag and The Gang of Four's Entertainment more at
the time, and now.
But I'm also still wank enough to prefer Marquee Moon, most of the
Minutemen's output and Meat Puppets II to any of it.
Then again, I liked The Replacements' Let it Be more'n I liked Hootenanny
and according to some, that's bad.
I'm thinking I've got a little too much art school envy.

PS: I guess in this vein, Pere Ubu's Final Solution has had a staying power
little else has had... that sound of nuclear destruction..., damn.
PPS: Did Lydon steal/borrow/share that lynch the landlord thing from
Flipper?
PPPS: Learned today that the Meatmen (originally from just nextdoor in
Lansing, MI - as were the Crucifux) are gonna tour Europe this winter, 'cuz
you suck.
