It's Friday. It's a bank holiday weekend. Put the flags up. Well, maybe just a pink one. Like Sunak's call for a snap election this week, Wire's blistering debut album wrong footed a lot of people when it first came out. Even as early as 1978 it was being labelled post-punk. Oh my, has this long player got a lot to answer for.
One of my faves from it is a jaunty little thing called Three Girl Rumba. Justine Frischmann liked it too; probably a little too much - she settled out of court apparently.
