[kj] good news on IE

[Matthew Burke]

No.  I don't live in Boston.  It made it very difficult.

Almost made PiL here in New York, but I seem to need months now to coordinate going to a show.  But Gogol Bordello is playing in Brooklyn this summer goddamit and I'm going to be there.

Sorry for the earlier sarcasm.

Hey Matt, did you see PiL or the Buzzcocks in Boston?

I'm only an 8 year member of this menagerie and don't feel I deserve a seat beyond the outer circle when it comes to policy discussion, but, good points.

And my belated thoughts on IE: I immediately thought of it as a tonic of positive (in its sound and message) to counter the resulting harshness of the grim message of Endgames.  Coincidental, surely, but still a natural opposite to the sound of the approaching crunch of a monolithic tyranny.  Thus far, things seem to be philosophically in line with 2003, anybody?

Short answer: I like it.  It makes me feel good.  Like Endgames more.

Thirded. Here we are dissecting it to pieces, but it's too early to tell if its indicative of the impending album (in much the same way the O.D.I.C. flexi was only a hint of what followed with EXTREMITIES). When I first joined the Gathering, we were all feverishly anticipating the comparatively incidental release of NO WAY OUT BUT FORWARD GO.

True, dat. 

There's like 70% bitching and moaning and quibbling over every single new thing they crank out (remember the Geordie demos?) and yet -- damn, it's 31 or 32 years later -- we are lucky they are still cranking stuff out. And, like I said, I actually like a lot of this stuff. "In Excelsis" just threw me for a loop. But, again, after 4 listens, even that has kinda grown on me! :)

A coupla years ago we may have been forgiven for thinking it's game over.
