Listening to the PURE show on WPKN right now and just heard AFTERBIRTH/AFTERMATH, one of the songs on the recent reissue of MX-80's remastered Hard Attack LP. When the song finished the dj said "Wow! That's what happens when a force of nature meets an immovable object" and referred to Bruce as "a guitar monster". "Hell of yes", i yelled back.
Bruce is SUCH the man. Even tho the songs on Hard Attack were recorded 36 years ago Bruce's playing from back then sounds fully-formed. Many pedals and guitars have come and gone, but still, it's always him, he never sounds dated and u could never mistake him for anyone else. Wish i could link u to a sample but there dont appear 2b any. LOVE U BRUISER!
Superior Viaduct, the label behind the reissue, will also reissue Craig Leon's Nommos LP, which is a component in a crazy connection... Angel CC was the covergirl on 1977's Hard Attack, Craig was the producer of ACC's White Courtesy Telephone, and Howard Thompson, who signed MX to Island records, and ACC to Almo Sounds, is the WPKN dj.
So the years spin by.

I think what I said was "an irresistible force meets an unmovable object" but who's counting? It was SO FUN playing MX-80 on the radio yesterday, I might have to do it again. As usual there were fuck-ups (mine) and interruptions (WTF?) but if anyone's interested, here's the URL to the show:- http://archives.wpkn.org/bookmarks/listen/54231
That was you on the Hard Attack cover? I never realized, but I should've known better. Who needs a random model when you got an in-house Angel?
thanks 4 the correction H.
