Thin White Rope
"When Thin White Rope visited the Soviet Union in late 1988, the band brought back more than caviar and a photo of the Kremlin. It experienced firsthand the early rumblings of a revolution. Rock 'n' roll imitated life when young Lithuanian rebels went wild at the Rope's shows, even stage-diving with reckless abandon. "They were just having an openly good time," remembers Rope guitarist-vocalist Guy Kyser in a recent phone interview. "The resistance movement was already really strong when we were there. It was all but in the open. They had just legalized the Lithuanian flag again, and so people were going around wearing that. We were going around wearing it, too."

Pastāv vēl viena sakritība ar manu veco grupu Ray Speedway and the devils of Pace. Mūsu pēdējais koncerts arī bija Belgijā. Mums Antwerpā 98 - TWR Ghentā 92. We played a set in a punk squat/cultural centre. They smashed the bar up after the gig, and burnt it outside in the drizzle.

Interesants skaņdarbs. Kāpēc bočka tā klibo? Savdabīga estētika.

Heh, nē, nu, man tiešām sāk šķist, ka tas ir apzināti. Jo bungu partija tajā dziesmā sastāv tikai no bočkas (ja vien kaut ko nepalaidu garām). Un to iesist ritmiski, hmm, nu, nav grūti, ja vien tiešām cilvēkam nav kāda trauma. Vai arī tiešām pieeja ir "so punk", ka netiek ieguldīts treniņos. To es arī spēju saprast. Galu galā, kā jau piesaucu - varbūt tas tiešām ir apzināti.
Šā vai tā, rezultāts ir efektīvs. Man, teiksim, ļoti patīk, kādu noskaņu var radīt ar neprecīziem uzsvariem un aizkavi, un pat steigšanos (ļoti īslaicīgu).

The beating heart not quite in time with the whirling messages in the ether.

Tu biji tik jauna, ka atmiņa laikām stradā labāk. Es tikai atceros to, ko Marc teica kad braucām prom: "what a miserable existence."
