Midweek Cafe and Lounge Vol. 12

This week a video by Wire:


Like many post-punk (or alt-rock, or whatever you may call them) bands that I grew up with, Wire could easily be written off as a “legacy” band. Their remaining members aren’t too keen on that, though. They could perform their fans’ favorites, but seem much more interested in evolving their sound and seeing who among their fans will stick around. This was my favorite song from Red Barked Tree. They have released new stuff since. I can’t stop growing older, but it is comforting to grow older with some recording artists who continue to adapt and create.

I’ll see you next week with another video or two, and perhaps a story as well.
