Barry Adamson

Like Howard Devoto and Dave Formula, Barry Adamson needs no introduction to Magazine fans. Indeed the brilliant singer, songwriter and Bass player has gone on to release some great solo work outside of Magazine and my personal fave is this track, "Destination." Like Dave Formula, Barry has his own website which you can get to by clicking on his name  Barry Adamson

Dave Formula

As is typical with many bands you could be forgiven for not remembering that they do have other members beside the singer and whose talents make up a significant contribution to what you finally get to see and hear from your idol's. In some bands, outside of the singer, you might not have much interest in anyone else however with Magazine you just couldn't do that because this band has a remarkable lineup of amazing and talented individuals not least one of my all time favourite musicians "Dave Formula." It's not often that you'll find other members of a band doing so much interesting solo or side projects/ work but with a great band like Magazine there's usually something else interesting or on the go when the band aren't together collectively. Here is the website for the brilliant Keyboard wizard that is Dave Formula whose sound is, for me what makes Magazines music so much more special than any other band. Check out his work which is in

Magazine - Cut Out Shapes (Promo)

I enter the room Confident enough For now I tread A straight and narrow way So I sleep soundly A little blue in the face Cut-out shapes In secondhand daylight Somewhere else Something else On my mind She's caressing me With the hidden hands Of the only kind of violence She thinks I'll understand We've got them dancing To all of our confessions They don't know how We rehearse our dreams Somewhere else ... I just get numb When you're hard to find We met at a psychiatric unit She was in for having habits No one else would try She didn't know what she was in control of She had all the advantages of magic No one could deny There was an old lady Who swallowed a fly Your inescapable mother Such a crazy lover I just get numb ... Find out You'll find out

Thanks

Thanks for the plug Graeme/Magazine - I love your work and this blog is merely to promote it to a wider audience if I can and share my own love of all things Magazine, Howard Devoto etc.

Buzzkunst - Til the Stars In His Eyes Are Dead

Fabulous track from the Buzzkunst album. He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead he wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead He is poised to a very strange degree wrapped up in emotional imagery small and senseless, on an alter ego trip he wants to alter your every ego trip  "Nothing personal nothing to see me nothing doing nothing with me nothing much and nothing to do with me" He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead he wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead He is awash in competing theories he's glad to be out of the house it's that time of the evening "I need to have some feelings" "I'm all surface tension present tension keeps you going gets you nowhere no pretension worst person singular" He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead he wants to cry till the stars in his eyes are dead Because the message is cheap a
