Who all is in for Saturday's show with these lengends?

I'm DJing and looking for some suggestions as to what sort of tunes to bring along….

I'll be making a rare appearance (I now work Sun-Thur nights). As for tunes to DJ, that's a tough call. I'm sure the majority of the audience will be past the age of trust but not necessarily nostalgic. Wire's music has been all over the place during their 30+ years. Of the most recent, Object 47 seems to harken back to the late 80s while Send sounds like it could be released 10 years from now and still sound futuristic. Kosmo, you might try some No Wave, a little goth, Chameleons and their ilk, early techno (pre-rave scene), recent dance rock. BTW, I just got the first two Polyrock CDs. Holy shit, those were fun!

yeah the different phases of their career along with their opener locally based Tone is making the overall selection a bit of a head scratcher… ravedubin suggested some along the lines of Explosions in the Sky… so i'm looking around for some heavier shoegazer band and considering bands like Mission of Burma, The Black Angels, a track from the new James, The Autumns, I Am Kloot, Mugison, etc…

REM's "End of the World?" 'Cause it kinda feels like that right now. There's that mention of the band too, of course.

Wire is an early show. Depending on how long they play, you may be able to catch the last part of the Wedding Present. I LOVE the Wedding Present, they put on a great show.

Ms. P, it's doable. WP won't start til 10:30 (doors open at 9 pm now, opener at 9:30). I'm tempted :)

I'm a HUGE fan of both Wire and the Wedding Present, so I was torn between seeing both for so long, but I just decided to go with Wire, since, y'know… they're old. :p
