I appreciate this is not really the appropriate thread but this is a hard need. I would stress that I have absolutely zero music making ability or inclination and the hardware thread on here reads like serbo-croatian to me. It just looks super cool imho. Maybe Santa will do me a turn.

‘Hendrix Wood’ is one of my friends
He played electric guitar solos over house - A bit like Cobalt Stargazer from Zodiac Mindwarps Love Reaction used to do when that was a fad ( excessive live bongos etc)
I wonder if Ce Ce Rogers played Someday live? It must have been around that time. The thought of that!
So I checked and Someday came out in ‘89 while this perty was in ‘88. Could the MLK theme of this night have been a catalyst for Someday? We will never know, but I do know that the pleasure and joy of imagining that these musical dots might be connected trumps Trump.

Seeing the name Pere Ubu always reminds me of this from David Stubbs writing about John Peel on the Quietus.
“ She was still smarting, I believe, from the humiliation prior to my last birthday of having to trawl around the record stores of Leeds asking the clerks if they stocked a Weasels Ripped My Flesh by the Mothers Of Invention. I merely muttered something to the effect that “you don’t understand”, and returned to my back stack of NME s, dreaming of the day I would get to find out what Pere Ubu sounded like.”
Pere Ubu was a name that was well known back then, but just like David I have never heard a song by them, and it’s for this reason I’ve never searched for anything by them on you tube. I dream of the day someone will be playing something and I’ll ask “what’s that?” And get the reply “Pere Ubu”
