Just bought it and read it... an enjoyable article.
It must have been a daunting task for the journalist to nail all of their side projects.
I'm really looking forward to Kim, Jim and Alan Licht's Supreme Indifference album for Kill Rock Stars.

no, scott is right. i've been reading the wire for about 6 or 7 years and SY are the only group to have been on the cover more than once in all that time, murray st and SYR4 were both voted album of the year by Wire writers, i think sonic nurse was their number 2 album of 2004, the wife of the editor was involved in putting on kim gordon's 2 art show's in london last year... i expect rather ripped to be in their top 3 or 2006, even though rather ripped is a pile of utter, utter shit.

there are a handful of bands and musicians that the wire tend to get excited about even if they're doing nothing. SY, einsturzende neubauten, the fall, derek bailey, john fahey, john coltrane, john cage, keiji haino...

I read it, and the writer seems a bit disappointed with the new album, calling it the most "lukewarm" SY release since Experimental Jet Set. Also it seems to question the future of the band by speculating over the end of the Geffen contract. But still a decent piece and pretty informative.

yeah over in Europe the closest rock band to be on the same level as SY would arguably be The Ex, and how many times have they appeared on the cover of The Wire??? maybe once? that i can remember... and they've put out just as many albums of interesting avant rock for just as long or not longer than SY...

rather ripped being lukewarm, i can hear and understand that comment, musically its a pretty solid album but w/ little creativity as compared to what they've done already, the band seems content with where they're at musically speaking, they've dug there nitche straight to the core and there is no escaping it now (which is OK!) though at the same time they are now embracing "traditional song structures" more now than ever and think thats the type of "experimentation" they are going for, which makes it sound more "immediate" of an album that they've pretty much ever done. but at the same time i can see how this album can get stale quickly... the vocals are good, but lyrically its weird and comes off sounding abit tiresome and trashy in places. still it beats 99% of the uncreative nongenuine bullshit that floats on the airwaves.

surely the fall and neubauten are comparible to SY too, as they are pretty much the only other bands (that come to mind) to be left over from that era. and there early records all have a lot in common to my mind.

I think it tends to be sold more at indie-type record stores in the US, but you may be acouple of months behind us. Aquarius in SF lists it, but at the moment the most recent issue they show on their website is April.

Maybe your easist way would be to order direct from The Wire's website, where a single issue is £6 (about US$11?) including postage to USA. See HERE (you'll find it under "Back Issues").

Wire is available at a ton of places Stateside. Most bookstores carry it, and good record shops have it as well.

The back-order prices aren't too bad. I'll just get that. Thanks.

I tried Barnes & Noble, and their selection is horrible. Borders had a good selection, but no Wire. I'll look around at the local record shops, though.

I'll pop out and get the magazine out of my car in my lunch hour and then I can be a bit more precise.
I've just bought it today.I like the free cd.In fact i like most of the free cds that The Wire give away.They should give one away every month

good article. cool that the journalist doesn't try and kiss ass just cuz they're on the cover and examines the album objectively. also, he politely asks thurston and lee if they shouldn't think about changing their sound. quite illuminating when thurston says he is very involved in the noise scene to the point that SY is almost like a side project. He claims that he was very aware that the new SY LP didn't have to fit in with the noise scene...
i think he burnt himself out with all his solo guitar destruction and just wanted to explore more familiar territory with SY...
