41N 93W is in a pasture, south of the road, with cattle in it. i chickened out in asking the farmhouse to the north if i could go in and find the exact spot- it's a couple hundred yards south.

But it was a lot of fun finding it. Been meaning to do it for years. Next time i'm flying in the area i'll swing by and get some aerial photos and videos.

This song has been with me for almost 3 decades, and it's still one of my top ten favorites ever.

Silly little boy, if you know little to nothing, it's better to keep it to yourself so no one else finds out, but too late now. Wire played many times in the north, New order members, who had yet to play a gig went to the shows, it's documented quite well in Julian Cope's book. Your hero offed himself right after this album was released, probably heard it and said, "well, there no way we can top that! I can't go on anymore" I think his last words were also " Fuck Gzarnanplat"

Wasn't this Christmas no.1 in 1979?

Best new wave song ever recorded. Nuff said. I love this track more than words can describe, because it makes me think and feel things that nothing else can.

I had this girlfriend in 1986 who gave me a tape to listen to while I drove my 1979 VW Scirocco from Santa Cruz to her house in San Jose. It was Wire 154, and it hanged my musical taste forever. I cannot express how this album reached inside my soul, I obsessed over each song, and with each Wire album that I could find (not an easy task, per Internet)
