Wire - Chairs Missing

Pink Flag is one of those records that changed my life when I got into it later in life, circa twelve years ago. It immediately became one of those albums that is ALWAYS on me, occupying a constant, non-negotiable spot in both my automobile CD binder and the ipod that I constantly have to juggle the contents of in order to accommodate day to day fancies along with such mainstays. Chairs Missing is a step further down the Wire spiral, and from the first track you can feel a little bit more madness eating in around the fringes of the classic post-punk sound that means so much to so many.

Wire - Love Bends

I found this on Brooklyn Vegan this evening: Love Bends is a streaming glimpse into the unreleased material available on the upcoming (3/25) Change Becomes Us anthology album.

Wire - The Peel Sessions '78

We could talk about the awards show everyone else is talking about. Or we can listen to good music. I think I'll take the latter.
