Chairs Missing

Earlier I said I'd eventually get around to uploading this album, and while I hardly feel indebted to my invisible (non-existent) readership, I am still going to keep my word.   So here's Chairs Missing, Wire's second album.  It marked a departure from the band's previous "punk" album Pink Flag in that the songs are generally longer and more melodic (this is cop out music press speak).  Also it got a 10/10 from pitchfork, if that means anything (it doesn't).  I dunno, I read wikipedia.  Anyway,  it's a really good album, with some excellent, instantly memorable songs including Heartbeat, Outdoor Miner, and I Am the Fly.
