Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx 30th Anniversary Foxx

Him and Buster Bloodvessel went on the crystal meth together !
I initially read that cover as "Smash My Face"

Ok Gazz I'm waiting patiently in the queue

smash my face!

good one

I actually thought that Gary had 'left a little message somewhere'. That happened to a friend of mine one morning on the way to work, he was caught short and had to use a shopping centre waste basket - forgive the lowering of the tone, hope its alright to mention this :rolleyes: I'll get my coat.

Arf ! Is your mate a Rab C Nesbitt type ?
*Rob's voice in background* "Oy lads this is a cutting edge electronic music forum People having an Eartha Kitt in waste disposal equipment North of the Border ain't where we're at !=

no m'lud, he were a Londoner, and the crime took place in Ealing Broadway in full daylight.

Indeed this is a cutting-edge electronic music forum, and with that in mind, and bearing in mind that we've now had the IMW album aniversary which sadly marked the end of that part of John's career of endless seasons, whats up next for celebrating?

gasp, take cover... it's Nation 12

But wait we could celebrate the impending 35th anniversary of the last half- decent record by your Caledonian confrere Mr Ure

Do you realise if history had turned out just a wee bit differently , once big Den had decamped and taken the exclamation mark with him , Les McKeown might have become the new Ultravox chanteur

*Awaits imminent arrival of torch- bearing spiv -moustached baying mob outside my home , bit like Sun readers outside a pediatrician's clinic *
Btw Cores lad , thanks for your sterling support on the "Viz" thread . I'm liking the cut of your jib !

Well spotted - I rushed to the digital version available on "Modern Art" to cross check. Sadly it only states P and C of Demon music, the re-issuers. However, it states that many of the tracks (including "My Face", "Burning Car", "Underpass", etc) are all "published" by Universal/Island Music. No mention of Virgin although the back cover does state "Issued under licence from Metamatic Records".

Now I know why I don't work in the music industry, too complex for me!!

This was one of my favourite tracks all those years ago, so was overjoyed to get a digital version. I have had two copies of the flexi, the first got "folded" to my utter disgust. My sister (very wise woman) suggested ironing it to get the kink out of the vinyl. I was amazed that it actually worked, but horrified that I had also ironed away the groove making the flexi very very flat!! A good friend stepped in and gave me his copy!!

Oh and wow, a free Gary Numan with every flexi-disk!! And in his "red-roots" period?

Don't forget, Foxx fans.

The cheek-boned one has a brand new single Miles Away out on Virgin this Monday...

this deja vu is getting too surreal

read the lyrics in Smash Hits (tucked away on the last page )

... anyone heard it on Radio 1 yet? ..


but what does he mean by "a new man appears.." and "walking in like someone else.." and "making new plans for the rest of me.." ????
still at least he still writes about "vapour trails"

but what's he doing in that "garden" without a shirt and tie on???

he's in his jimjams having spent the night sleeping in the long grass as he loves to hear the sound of the dawn chorus and feel the morning dew on his face. In that photo he's just about to nip indoors for a breakfast cup of coffee and a warm crossiant
