Magazine - Shot By Both Sides

Reminds me of Just by Radiohead.

Magazine have reformed and are touring in February 2009. Howard will be joined by Dave Formula, Barry Adamson and John Doyle. Taking John McGeoch's place is Noko, an old colleague of Devoto's from the Luxuria days. They play the London Forum on 12 and 13 Feb.

[anycolouryouwant]

and latitude festival !!!!

[LightFromADeadStar]

@chinakitty1 noone will take john's place really

[TheMightyGusset]

I have a rare early recording of this with Pete Shelley doing the vocals.

[jejesus]

Really? Boredom was in Buzzcocks and Magazine repertoire. Anyway to get it?

Cheers.

[kafka41]

yeah it was the spiral scratch ep

[pkdick67]

so what Reynolds said in the Rip it Up book ( DEVOTO standing still ) is nonsense ??

[DonGiampieroTaddei]

I was wondering the same...

[chinagirl84]

We met Dave Formula in France last summer....what a treat. He played the piano in the bar & invited other musicians to play with him. Thanks Dave. Hannah says HI (she drew you playing on the piano)

[jejesus]

And what is he doing in these days? One of the best keyboards in the 80's. Greetings.

[chinagirl84]

He told me he was making an album & that he would choose Hannah's portrait of him on the album cover....I don't know if he has done that or not.

[mindtpi]

He's got a MySpace page with stuff from his new album on it

[jejesus]

Oh, I will search for it. It`s good to know than Dave is on the scene. Thanks, chinagirl 84 and mindtpi.

p.s. I have a double album (vinyl) by Magazine. A bootleg recorded in Ballroom Paradise, Boston. I most transfer it to MP3 very soon.

[FrancoDamn]

Top of the pops always presented playbacks. But this version didn't seem a playback.

[jjj7477]

timeless in it's way.....

[supergizi]

oh sorry i meant 'just' not 'paranoid android'. ok i shut up.

[supergizi]

they are both brilliant anyway heh.

[supergizi]

i was reminded of this song when i first heard paranoid android. they might have been 'influenced' maybe...

[faithlovemusic]

does anyone know where to find the real top of the pops clip? i´d love to see it.. i wonder if his white make up had anything to do with dylan´s white face during the first rolling thunder revue.. i know devoto is a big fan..

[DANNY200000000000000]

according to simon reynolds rip it up and start again this fucked up magazines career, cause he got stage fright and was pissed off about having to mime

[tjodolF2]

But that can't be this clip; he was supposed to be standing stock still, with clown white makeup like a harlequin.

[thegoldenyear]

I dunno. The Magazine site (shotbybothsides) lists TV apps and takes pains to point out the career 'suicide' posed by this clip. And the screen cap matches this clip. I'd dig some clarification, too. Great band. Secondhand Daylight is a stunning LP.

[dermx41]

This was the first record I ever bought. Great to hear it again. Thanks

[ruteress]

the keyboard player ruled and im currently being taught by him at college in scunthorpe. howard devoto is a complete dick. and he used to have hair transplants.

[jejesus]

Wow!!!! What a lucky man you are. Please send regards from Mexico City to Dave Formula. What is his real name? Is him out of the recordings???

[SoulVoX]

I would love to see Definitive Gaze or My Tulpa live...

[rozkendal]

saw magazine on the second hand daylight tour at lancaster uni 1978, and at blackburn king georges hall on the 2nd album tour 1979. magazine fucking wow, blew me away when i was 14 and still does now at 43. wonder what howie is doing now

[Crops]

Bloody marvellous! Shame it gets cut short. I remember watching it at the time and thinking it was live but it looks like they were just miming to a different recording from the record.

[nightandday]

All performances on TOTP are mimed.

[emt333sd]

my favorite band of all time, so underated but quality always shines through can hardly believe its nearly 30 years ago god bless john McGeoch

[averilleX]

Devoto was my pinup boy as a teenager and obviously I had great taste: this is brilliant. Punk's not dead, thanks Jejesus

[pfordsq]

i was floored at how normal DeVoto now looks! Great clip.

[raredvdworldwide]

I do think "Lipstick" is the better "version" but this has always been extremely cool too, thanks for posting!

[pancho7762]

Secondhand Daylight is still my favourite all time album

they don make em like they used to

[vortex63]

too bloody right

[rizzodaily]

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm a huge fan. We need to keep the best music available for the young people...

[dougaldog2002]

I never realised that Magazine appeared on TOTP! How on earth did I miss it????

[rozkendal]

me too, but i was a punk and because most bands wouldnt perform on totps, i never watched the show from 1977 and still now, even though its folded!
