<mjg59>I GLORY IN MY INTRINSIC CORRECTNESS.</mjg59>
Seconded on Chairs Missing and 154, BTW, and don't bother with the Ideal Copy (they went weird-80s-electropop in their second incarnation, I like bits of it loads but there's a lot of acquired taste there) but I'll burn you the Snakedrill EP which is entirely excellent;
"I'd rather make furniture than go to Midnight Mass... y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig, y'punk, y'silver-tongued SHNAKE!" (A Serious of Snakes)
"we're milling through the grinder, we're grinding through the mill, if this is not a false alarm, then this must be a... this must be a DRILL!" (The Drill)
Actually, a very quick 80s-Wire playlist;
Snakedrill EP:
A Serious of Snakes The Drill
The Ideal Copy:
Ahead("Bring on the special guest / a monkey caught stealing...") Ambitious("CIA, KGB, PLO, IRA, IMF, PPK, SAS, RUC, ICI, ITT, H2O, 12XU, DDR, NYC, F1-11, 007, VOU, JFK, S&M, ECG...") Over Theirs("Something snapped / over the horizon")
A Bell Is A Cup (Until It Is Struck): Silk Skin Paws("I'm just making enquiries...") A Public Place("Lies fly in formation / candid fiction spreads its wings / It's deceptive at this angle / Does truth dance? Does truth sing?") - this song has some of my favourite lyrics of anything ever, really; http://www.wireviews.com/lyrics/a_bell_is_a_cup.html Come Back In Two Halves("it's not my problem now, everybody loves the mystery / it's not my problem now, everybody loves a history...")
It's Beginning To And Back Again: German Shepherds("I saw three dogs flying; there was a man on the end") Eardrum Buzz("the Louisville Lip has nothing to say / but one thing remains perfectly clear / the buzzbuzzbuzz in the drum of the ear")
Manscape: Life In The Manscape("Free speech and more TV / distribute liberally / I'd like mine to be a true facsimile") You Hung Your Lights In The Trees/A Craftsman's Touch("My portrait casts its skin, mile after yellow mile") - this track's particularly jawdropping
Send (their 2003 record), though, is if anything the heaviest and nastiest record they've ever done. It rocks.
