My problem has been that music has sort of gone out, and life taken over. I have a girlfriend now, and we're raising her son. We have a little flat and I only have one guitar here (the new nylon string one). Somehow the time just isn't there. I hope I can get more music into my life soon. I need it, really.

BT and all the other damyankees are all too busy dodging the draft, or drilling for oil, and the Brits are too depressed to talk. "So where do you fit in?" I hear you ask......

Unfortunately, just working. Haven't played a gig all year! The Ramifications have been rehearsing regularly, we have a couple of things coming up. The soukous band 'Aciable' is on hold again, too many people in the band, can't schedule anything due to overpopulation. i KNEW that was gonna happen...but would anybody listen to me? Nope. so mostly, I've been working..fifty plus hours a week. Trying to ghet out of some debt and maybe later on get myself something nice and shiney...like a Les Paul, maybe? solar on "Anybody Out There..... Hello...... Hello.... Echo......

I think Wire is MOJO! It's very cool to see them STILL rockin' strong. COOL guitar parts... very intricate and vibrant in a genre that absolutey blows these days... I haven't heard ANY new bands that have the same spark... and creativity either... AND.... strong songwriting.... solar on "Anybody Out There..... Hello...... Hello.... Echo......

I've been pretty busy with the Holidays myself. Hope you've been having a good time this Holiday Season! Did you listen to the "Poppie" music Vardi's been crackin' out? Reminds me of the Velvet Underground with a touch of Jefferson Airplane mixed in. I liked it. henry on "Anybody Out There..... Hello...... Hello.... Echo......

But we had a freakin' cold weekend. Winters here are usually pretty mild, with a couple of freezing cold snaps and usually one hard freeze that stops the city in it's tracks. Things warm up by the middle of March.... I almost sorta miss Los Angeles-where "winter" consists of one week's worth of rain! Just enough to wash all the filth off the streets, and clean the air for a few days. THAT'S when they take all the pics for postcards, you know...those three days when the sky is actually blue. henry on "Finally!

Certainly influenced by all the SST bands etc. But they were really good, unlike a lot of the bands who "grunged up" in their wake. They were right there when that whole thing (punk underground)was fixing to pop and it was just a matter of the right band getting there first-that was them. We (meaning the musicians in and around that scene at that time) all KNEW that the underground thing was gonna explode at any moment, we could feel it. Hair Metal could only last so much longer, and in L.A. the punk (or whatever you want to call it) thing was happening again after something of a lull.

I think for some reason it's "cool" to disrespect him because his songs were relatively simple or "unoriginal" or he didn't have van halen's guitar skills. Whatever, the fact remains that if you listen to some of their live recordings, the raw energy and emotion put into their music makes it unforgettable and magnetic. I'm not ashamed to say I *really* enjoy nirvana, and they are to date one of the bands I've listened to the most.
