[net.music] Colin Newman, Wire, Mike Thorne

Say, Rich, you forgot about ``Not Two,'' which is the last thing Colin
Newman has recorded for quite a while.  It is basically of refinement of
the off-kilter pop/noise (yes, I think he is pop, just warped) that Wire
were doing on 154.  I suppose his cover of ``Blue Jay Way'' was just a way
of saying ``nyaah!'' to the trend-hopping critics.

Mike Thorne was in Wire, but then became a full-time producer.  He started
off on a promising path, doing records with The The and Human Sexual
Response after working with his old band.  He must have lost it though;
both debut albums that he recently produced, til tuesday and Bronski Beat,
are limper than wet noodles.  What happened ?
