Times New Viking
Mercury Rev (full original lineup; Donahue & Grasshopper AND David Baker, Suzanne Thorpe, Dave Fridmann, Jimmy Chambers. Just to lay waste to unexpecting venues around the land like they used to. Absolutely no rehearsals allowed. Or earplugs for the audience.)
Chorchazade
The Saints (Bailey AND Kuepper)
PiL (Lydon / Wobble / Levene [& "a drummer"])
Subway Sect (1978; Godard / Myers / Symmons / Laff) (Just so I could see them mind. Wouldn't want to interfere with Vic's wayward muse.)
Big Flame
Kleenex/LiLiPuT
Ego Summit (surviving members)

Is this reform as opposed to travel back to their heyday and catch them again then?
Or reform because they're all reprobates who are likely to be looking at health issues otherwise? So need to go forward with a cleaner lifestyle choice?

I was just thinking who was 'alive' (as far as I'm aware), and therefore possible in theory.
With a time-machine it'd definitely be the VU or 13th Floor Elevators for me. When I was on work experience from School in 1982 at the National Library in Edinburgh I met a really cool guy who'd actually seen the VU - and the Stooges - at their peak. I was well impressed! He was only in his mid-Thirties in 82 I think, and the distance in time was only like me looking back from now to seeing Liars or Sparklehorse or somebody in 2001/2, which doesn't seem that long to me, but 67-69 seemed like eons ago from 82. Such is the way of getting old/er I s'pose.
Also met a bloke more recently at work (doesn't take me long to start on about music), who used to get the bus or train to London in the '60's to spend weekends down there watching bands. He talked about seeing Pink Floyd with Syd, who grabbed the lapels of the guy next to him and screamed "I'VE GOT A BIKE, YOU CAN RIDE IT IF YOU LIKE!" straight into his face. Mindblowing!
These guys are always the best blokes and really surprised your so interested in these stories, but to me this stuff is HISTORIC and fascinating.

The former members of Husker Dü are apparently talking to one another again...

Have the same legal representation apparently. I trhink that's quite a way from being likely to reunite. Might mean that we finally get some remastered material though.

'The Scream' remains my favourite Siouxsie album.
Did Morris & McKay ever do anything after they left the Banshees?
Mine too. The "Blackheads" as they were tagged by Sioux & Severin.
I've got a Kenny Morris 12" somewhere, a soundtrack to a movie that I think he made. I believe he dabbled/dabbles in the artsy-horror movie business.
McKay guested on a couple of things and I think he has a relatively new band. Musically neither of them reached the giddy heights of those first two albums (although Morris is on speaking terms with S & S again I belive). They had something quite unique. What a waste.
