Shhh... Don't give them ideas for the next album.

Very odd qoute to use and then give away a free mp3. Is anyone else getting the feeling Wire will spout off against technology a lot in interviews now?.

Isn't that how it's often been though? Like in 1999, when headlining three of the major festivals, they produced a t-shirt with TOO MANY FESTIVALS on it.

I love how the picture is of a 'smashed' bass that looks as if it's been neatly broken in two by a roadie.

That's such a perfect metaphor for the band these days.

It's just a bit tiresome to use a qoute like this. I was kinda hoping that we'd get something different but so far, based solely on this first step of the re-design, it comes across very "Postcards".

Or maybe Photoshop... Oh wait no, that's technology.

It's a shot of the bass that Nicky tried to smash at the end of the O2 show.
No roadies no photoshop.

Yeah, I know... But it does look a bit staged. Don't get me wrong, I like it, I just also think it's funny.

A bit of scene-setting for the Rewind the whatnot acoustic volume one new album?

"We hate technology - look here's a broken bass which just happens to be not acoustic - here comes a load of no-tech tunes"? Just a thought.

Anyway, to answer the original question, here's the MP3: http://89.202.214.7/%7B2dedc8b4-b459...).zip?ext=.zip

Apologies if that came across rude, I just re-read my post, comes across as petulant at best, fucking snotty at worst! No offense intended, my shit social skills showing themselves again...

Wow, half of you sound like you wish they played shoeboxes with elastic over them.

Drums can be various sized cans.
