Gary Numan... Mr synth-pop one hit wonder in the US actually had a whole load of great songs.He was also the King of the goofy looking freeze frame face in almost all his videos. His secret weapon musically was a real rhythm section. Yes, real drums and a exceptionally gifted bass player named Paul Gardiner. He was also had a hate/hate relationship with the UK press... so much so he wrote a song about it... Here it is....

A far out kinda group...
I got the Snakedrill EP by Wire when I was 17 and the Ideal copy soon after that. It was not because of this appearance on the suzanne somers hosted late show. Enjoy the Interview at the end featuring a super mulletized Graham Lewis (this was the 80's ya know)

I'm in love with the Hawthorn...
Here is the final "Best of..." from last year. The best song released last year was...
Alaska By Camera Obscura
It follows the great tradition of essential b-sides such as Roman Holiday,Return to send Her and Lemon Juice and Paper Cuts.
Listen to it Here and go get it on Amazon...and get the other singles too. It truly does not get any better than this band.
