Well, then you
do understand, because therein lied the whole point! Costello was enough of a punk back then to want to say fuck you to his audience by putting the gods of electronic noise on for them to deal with first. Suicide revelled in pissing tossers off, so they surely enjoyed that hatred. I read an interview with Vega where her reminissed about running into Costello in a laundramat on the tour the day after one of the biggest riots when the show had to be called off. Costello thanked him, and asked if they could do it again that night, as he was extremely worn out from the tour and rather enjoyed the night off.
