@armpits17 Have you never heard Girls and Boys?! An 'homage' perhaps? But, anyway I still like Blur and Elastica homage or no. Not sure where this is going?
-
@drstevie Elastica did rip off this band and people took notice of it and that was the main reason they broke up. You're saying nothing new at all. But Blur ripping this song off? Where do you get this from?
-
what is this video from? was it actually made by wire for a music video?
-
However fucking Justine from Elastica is still the single most infamous fact that I cannot get over. Elastica is what I imagine I'd have to endure watching if I was ever tortured like Alex in A Clockwork Orange.

my point is, Wire was not obscure as most think. here or there or otherwise. notable indie and pop bands knew them, and the good ones acknowledged influence or respect, and left of the dial/college radio had them on rotation. also, Blur has some my respect due to Albarn's work on the side, such as the soundtrack to "Ravenous," Hewlett's shared hate of Hollywood/types, hooking up with Terry Gilliam, Gruff Rhys, Mark E. Smith, and his all-time best scam about Glee.

@wir154 very well said, and it's nice to point out such props from such mainstay acts. i want to dismiss both elastifuck and blurb for several reasons. and dummytree does seem to seeing things from a very singular angle, like probably from america. i first heard wire on tape around '88 or '89 thx to someone in a very small u.s. town who had IBTABA, idealcopy, pink flag. he listened to indie ppl such as dead milkmen, dead kennedys and also joy division. not bad for being so isolated.

mas psicodelico que el carajo

they were ORIGINAL first wave PUNKS
all music and no fashion
check out their 40 sec, 1 & 2 min max at time songs, right when they started.
but Wire was never ever about uniformity
1990 one guy left...they called themselves Wir and
released
So and slow it grows.
This is the period you probably saw them in...at their most assessable
Why they seem complicated is because a lot of times they pay with language and words

Back in 2006, I listened to this daily.

wonderful, genius. Elastica never expected that one day the MP3-internet revolution will explode and everything they ripped from The Wire will be well documented!
