| The
current issue of Q Magazine
votes John Lydon #16
in its '100 Greatest Singers & Their
1000 Greatest Songs' feature. As well
as some Pistols tracks the article singles
out PiL's 'This Is Not a Love
Song', 'Solitaire',
'The Pardon' & 'Rise';
as well as Leftfield Lydon 'Open Up'.
'Solitaire'
& 'The Pardon' from 'This Is What
You Want…' are welcome, but surprising,
choices. You can't help get the feeling
that the reviewer quickly scanned through
a few CD's; either that, or 'This Is What
You Want…' is finally winning people
over? Strange that 'Death Disco' or anything
from 'Flowers of Romance' didn't make
the list though… |

| Boston,
Brandeis University's community
newspaper The Hoot features an
article on memorable gigs at the University,
and includes a paragraph on PiL's 1992
appearance at Gosman Centre.
One
of the biggest concerts the University
has ever seen was part of the MTV 120
Minutes tour partnering with the Boston
Phoenix in 1992 at Gosman. Coming to Brandeis
were Big Audio Dynamite, a post-punk group
led by Mick Jones of The Clash, Public
Image Ltd., which was another post-punk
group led by ex-Sex Pistol John Lydon
aka Johnny Rotten, alternative rockers
Live, and finally a little known band
at the time by the name of Blind Melon
(who later achieved one-hit wonder status
with their hit “No Rain”).
Lead singer Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon
would start the madness during the opening
act by dropping his shorts. The show proceeded
to get especially hectic after a shoe
was thrown at Lydon, who refused to give
the shoe back to the fan. During the band’s
first song, Lydon removed a few condoms
from his crotch and chucked them at the
nearby crowd. He even went so far as to
moon the audience, and then remove something
from his cheeks and again throw it at
the crowd.

Hoot for more info… |

Wobble releases his second album
for Trojan Records on March 19th. ‘Heart
And Soul’ will be available
on both CD & digital formats; and
is preceded by the download-only single
'Sweetest Feeling' on March 5th. An exclusive
dub of 'Sweetest Feeling’ will be
available for free download via iTunes
with the purchase of the single.
The
17 track album is completely self-composed,
produced and engineered by Mr Wobble.
From
official press release:
Heart
And Soul’ is the impressive culmination
of a long and deep career crossing many
genres and musical boundaries. In compliment
to the melodies and structures, the mixing
and engineering of this album (all undertaken
by Wardle himself) really draws on all
Jah Wobble’s musical experiences
and influences. His signature sounds can
be heard throughout, from the heavy dubs
of ‘Desolation’ to the PiL
sounds in ‘Eternal Wanderer’
and eastern atmospherics of ‘Through
The Mist And Up The Mountain Dub’.
Vocals from young newcomer Clea Rose bring
a new tone into ‘The Sweetest Feeling’,
its soft reverberations adding another
dimension to the record, but really this
album is a sound and voice that belongs
to John Wardle.
Wobble
will also be appearing at London, Cargo
with the Trojan Sound System
on March 30th. Keep an eye on 30
Hertz or "The
List" for more info… |

|  'Murder'
the final track of Pete Jones
'Diamonds and Barricades' MP3 EP is now
available for download.
Speaking
of 'Diamonds and Barricades' Pete recently
told Fodderstompf: "For this
EP I wanted to get back to a more accessible
sound, its a departure from the more experimental
side of things and an altogether different
discipline. And sometimes, experimentation
is often the domain of the talentless!!
I also wanted to feature my bass playing
for a change well, that's what I'm famous
for after all!! All instruments are by
me apart from some drums courtesy of Simon
Phillips…"
Fodderstompf
jokingly referred to 'Murder'
as Pete's U2 track; but we can assure
you it's far better than that…
If you haven't checked out the EP (why
not?) all
4 tracks – along
with a new bonus mix of 'Killer' by Mikee
Plastic – are available via Pete's
www.pete-jones-uk.co.uk
website or his MySpace.
Remember, all tracks are completely FREE
and come with worldwide license “to
do whatever takes your fancy!”
Pete's
such a busy boy these days he's set up
a special "collaborations"
page on his site; detailing his activities
with the likes of Mikee Plastik (aka.
Mediawhore), The Perfects, Abby Travis,
plus some other bits and bobs he's got
an interest in…

| Pete
Jones has a new interview
posted on writer and musician Joel
Gausten's MySpace.
Joel,
who previously played with Pigface among
others, originally interviewed Pete, regarding
Martin Atkins, for a Killing Joke book
he was working on. The
book was scrapped but Joel decided to
expand the interview and post it on his
MySpace. He is currently working on a
book about The Swans, which should feature
contributions from Martin Atkins.
Update:
Joel is temporarily making the Killing
Joke book, featuring contributions from
Martin Atkins, available
as a free download via his MySpace. The
book will only be available until midnight
on Saturday 27th January. |

| Speaking
of MySpace, the unofficial Jah
Wobble page has now been deleted.
Wobble says he does plan to put a page
up, "but not one with friends"
and the only reason for the
page will be to stop anyone from using
his name again… See "The
List" for updates, and further
information… |

Wobble has confirmed he is in
talks to contribute to the Liverpool
'City of Culture' event in 2008.
Discussions are still at a preliminary
stage but Wobble hopes to compose some
material and possibly play some live shows.
Keep an eye on 30
Hertz or "The
List" for more info…
It's
also worth seeing "The
List" for information on the
so-called Jah Wobble page on
MySpace. The page is totally unofficial,
and nothing to do with Wobble or 30 Hertz.
Just like the Fodderstompf page is absolutely
nothing to do with us… |

| Latest
news direct from Pete Jones:
"I've
been a busy boy of late, with several
projects in the pipeline. I will send
a full update soon. I am just putting
the finishing touches to the last track
of the EP. It's been held up as the track
I was gonna use is now going to be a duet
with Abby Travis (Living Dolls, The Bangles
2006 and others) and the track is currently
in LA with her to put her vocals on. I
will let you know when its done and dusted
and give you full details of the other
things I'm involved in…
"There
will be news of the guitar work I did
on a Dystopians track for Stuart Argabright,
Guitar tracks for The Perfects, a remix
of an Aint No Dub track "Bush no
Freedom", a remix of my track "Killer"
by USA Media Whore, Mikee Plastik as well
as the Abby Travis collab. I will also
be plugging son of Pil bass player Adam
Jones' band and a side project of mine,
The Guava Boys... Probably the busiest
ex-pil member at the moment!"
