There's no place for it now. However certain circumstances do change the rules and there was an instance a little while ago where Bruce had been commissioned to do some dance pieces for Michael Clark at Sadlers' Wells. But he was having great difficulties with the Musicians Union over using tapes because they'd always rather you have live musicians, even if it meant having a pianist playing a Wire song. We were in the orchestra pit where no one could see us. We played for a minute and a half, packed up the equipment and went to the pub, and we did that for five nights.
Records are just records - documents of material recorded at a certain time.
I can't really sit down and listen to any old Wire record because I stop listening and start thinking about the circumstances when we made it. In that way it disqualifies us from even listening to older Wire material because you always go into the process of remembering how you were living at that time. What's on the records reflects how you were feeling and what your life was like. Graham's He Said solo project led him to become involved with video work. He Said, it was to do that as well.
