[edit] Movement vs music
yo, article-writer, do you work for Pitchfork or something? Branca "aligned himself" with his MUSIC, not with a so-called "movement". There WAS no "No Wave" movement, except in the minds (and drawers) of music journalists.

- Yes, there was a no wave movement. Watch "Punk:Attitude." Glenn Branca himself talks about his love for the no wave monement. --128.205.124.77 21:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

- Yer both right. I couldn't have "aligned" myself with a movement that didn't exist when I started Theoretical Girls in 1977. The term No Wave was coined by Roy Traiken (sp?) in spring 1978. He was a journalist writing for either NY Rocker or The Soho News. I'm not sure which at this point. Both papers are defunct. The point is T-Girls were included with about 8-9 other bands. The problem came when Eno showed up in New York wanting to do a No Wave compilation. As I heard it his original album was to include 10 bands, 2 short cuts each. As it turned out he went with the "East Village" side of the scene and in many people's minds the bands on No New York WERE the No Wave bands. In fact there were also the "Soho" bands like T-Girls and The Gynecologists (great band, Nina Canal) and Tone Death and Boris Police Band and also Red Transitor (from the Brooklyn side) not to mention Terminal and The Communists. Yes I loved being part of this movement but I couldn't have aligned myself with something that I was already a part of from the beginning.

[edit] False information
BE ADVISED: THIS WIKIPEDIA BIO ENTRY CONTAINS FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR ACCURATE INFO. Thanks Again, Glenn Branca
- What in particular? Just the category, Category:No Wave? —Keenan Pepper 13:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
The story about the N. Dodo band is all true and you know it Glenn. I say this because you are not telling us what in particular is "false and misleading." For the records, the Placenter was where you started, and you should give credit to those who helped you along the way, by Zaziezuzu 20:18, October 22 2006
