The Senseless Things-Postcard CV....By Request

Ok.... by request we have Postcard CV. I will let it be known, I am a big time Senseless Things fan. Saw them supporting Blur a long time ago. There were 15 people there to see them. It did not matter to the Seneless Things, they were awesome!! Saw MC4 a few months later in San Francisco and there were even less to see them headline. Too bad. Their (San Francisco) loss, my gain!!! Anyways despite the hippy type cover, this was some of the best stuff coming out of the UK in the late 80's-early '90's. Funny, I remember reading Big Takeover a long time ago, and Jack (the editor) would slag them for playing to fast and losing the plot. You see, Jack has exceptional taste in music, so I was always suprised that he did not warm to them as much as he did with MC4 or Leatherface. His loss, my gain. Bigtime Buzzcocks influence in their early stuff too, and that is more than ok in my book!

  1. Thanks again Ken

    I'm a Bay Area native myself, I moved to Colorado 12years ago. I was just back in Sept for the My Bloody Valentine show in Sept. I usually get back once or twice a year. Wow, Blur with Senseless Things! What a great show that must've been I saw Radiohead for free at Slims for the Bends tour and Blur at Bimbos later that year. Although seeing the Pixies reunion in 2005 at Red Rocks, that was a treat! There are some advantages to living land-locked...

  2. You're Welcome! Bay Area native too! Cool. Hence your Filmore name, now that makes sense. Glad I could help you find something that you were looking for.

  5. It was in Palo Alto at the Edge. It was during the time that they released the Hold It Down single I think.

  6. Cool...I'm more interested in the info from the Blur perspective...do you happen to remember the date? If you wouldn't mind, could I email you to ask some questions? It's for a book I'm writing.
    Thanks!
