When Yer Twenty Two
I met Wayne twice – once at a Lollapalooza, back in say, ’94. I was working at our record booth and he was eating at a picnic table nearby and I didn’t want to bug him. I was just passing, being very quick and complimentary, as I was a big fan at the time, and he still came off a bit smug. Their live shows used to be the best. I remember once looking forward to a show, must’ve been off Clouds Taste Metallic, and being sick with a fever, not feeling good enough to go, knowing I wouldn’t be able to drink or take anything else either, but ending up going anyway, and it was literally one of the best shows of the year – more Christmas lights and bubble machines than you can ever imagine being possible.
Michael Ivens used to shop at the record store I worked at, and later at the one I o/o. Super cool guy. But with the departure of Jonathan Donahue and then Ronald Jones, Wayne and his “talented” cohort, Steven Drozd, have churned out some pretty unexciting stuff, all under the banner of “weird,” and all at the luxurious expense of Papa Warner. Although, I’m proud of Papa Warner for sticking with an artist over the long haul – you don’t hear of that much anymore. And while I don’t think Wayne is the “enemy,” just like I hated those “blur are shite” shirts Mogwai wore all those years ago (really, Blur is your enemy, really?), I guess I just think he’s a bit phony. I got the opportunity to pan the release of The Soft Bulletin in Alternative Press under my co-worker’s name, who let me review it for him. In hindsight, I was wrong about what I said in that review, as that really is a great album. But a “getting back to basics” is, in my humble opinion, what this band really needs. (and don’t get me started on Mercury Rev either…)
Anyway, eight or so years later, I got the chance to meet Wayne again, and what I wasn’t wrong about is that Wayne is kind of a dick. On two separate occasions, he was aloof and distant. For what reason? Why put yourself out there just to put fans off? It was weird, since I got on well with other rock-stars of his caliber throughout the years. Is anybody else sick of his schtick? The shit’s just b-o-r-i-n-g. Could we have a Clouds Taste Metallic II? I wouldn’t dare ask for a Priest Driven II or a Hit to Death II – those feats would surely be impossible to replicate. Is it that Wayne does not know how to play guitar anymore? Has he forgotten how to write a good song? Oh, and does anyone know if he has he gotten rid of that white suit with fake blood yet? (Written while wasting my time listening to the new The Terror which is supposed to be “really dark” and “really good,” from what I’ve read. Not true. Although the UK bonus track, “Sun Blows Up Today” is what I’m talking about: refreshing and fun.)
Dunno why I had to crap Wayne negative today. Oh, and him performing mostly naked on Fallon with Drozd's wearing a cape last week just reinforces my point(s) - bad gimmicks, bad tunes. The lights and tubing, however, were awesome. Now please strap on a guitar again and write some new old pop jamz!
