I'm mainly in agreement with the 'once its over its over' sentiment however I have to confess that I saw Blondie recently having missed them in their pomp. While I have to admit that I'm glad to have actually seen them 'in the flesh' (see what I've done there?) it only made me wonder how much better they'd have been c 1979....

...That said if the Specials original line up ever got together I might wonder in

....at the back...

...wearing shades...

been playing some Ben Folds Five recently, a quirky 3 piece - piano, bass, drums - group from the mid-nineties who did 3 albums then split. Sort of american version of squeeze in a way with a bit of grunge and broadway thrown in. great live, sense of humour and a bass player who did more than pluck a rhythm out, in fact i'll go out on a limb and say he came close to matching john Entwhistle for the way he got more out of his instrument than lay down a backing line.

Spacemen 3.
As their recent output attests, Jason and Sonic needed each other.

Neu!
Ditto Rother & Dinger.

Microdisney? Husker Du?
Nah, that'll never happen.

Oh, and Creme Brulee of course.

Yeah, that was one of the most macabre rock'n'roll horror stories I've ever encountered. Saw them once supporting Mercury Rev and Spiritualized - pretty good if I remember rightly.

I got my wish after 26 years (35 since they broke up) I even saw them in rehearsal room railway arch on the Holloway Rd. It was like stumbling into the Beatles at Abbey Rd No 2
