Iterations: Magazine – “The Light Pours Out Of Me”

Iterations: Magazine – “The Light Pours Out Of Me”

Even though they clearly exist, it always surprises me when I come across official music videos for songs that were released before the MTV era, because… where were they played? For example, this clip for one of Magazine’s signature songs, “The Light Pours Out Of Me”. The album from which it came – their debut […]

Iterations: Siouxsie & The Banshees – “Spellbound”

I’ve only just started the latest season of Stranger Things, but already know that Siouxsie & The Banshees’ “Spellbound”, the lead single from their 1981 album Juju, gets a sync in one of the final episodes. Will this be the band’s “Running Up That Hill” moment and net them a 40-years-later #1 and multimillion-dollar windfall? […]

The Light Pours Out Of Him: In Praise of John McGeoch

It’s not inaccurate to call John McGeoch one of the patron saints of this here blog, because my excitement at discovering the Magazine/Siouxsie & The Banshees/Public Image Limited guitarist a few years ago and wanting to talk about him to, well, anyone/no one, was one of the reasons I started blogging again – it took […]

Magazine / Live at The BBC

In honour of the fact that my friends and I are able to go back into a rehearsal space to make noise every few weeks for the first time in over a year and a half, here’s a YouTube rip of an early Magazine bootleg record, BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert. Recorded on November […]

Siouxsie & The Banshees - "Happy House"

I didn’t watch the Super Bowl this year (or most years), so I didn’t know Siouxsie & The Banshees had had a moment thanks to The Weeknd. He’d sampled the opening riff of “Happy House” – the first single and lead track from the band’s 1980 album Kaleidoscope – for the title track from his […]

I’ve seen and shot a lot of live music photographs, but this photo of Siouxsie & The Banshees on stage in Sweden in 1982, shot by Jill Furmanovsky through John McGeoch’s Yamaha SG 1000, just stopped me in my tracks. Breathtaking. “The live silhouette shot was taken at around 9pm just as the band came […]

Spellbound – The Story of John McGeoch

Spellbound – The Story of John McGeoch
John McGeoch by Peter Noble

I actually can’t remember if I first heard about John McGeoch’s playing before I actually heard him play, but a couple years ago I fell into a deep rabbit hole of his work and arguably still haven’t emerged. It’s really by following his crazy flanged guitar riffs through the catalogues of Magazine and Siouxsie & […]
