    "comment": "Wire guitarist Bruce Gilbert turns 80 today, May 18. \"Our Swimmer\" is one of the band's most rewarding little oddities: a 1979 studio recording that EMI rejected as a single, which Wire then put out on Rough Trade in July 1981 alongside their live album \"Document and Eyewitness.\" It marks the close of the band's first era — the post-punk run that stretched from 1977 through their wildly confrontational final 1980 show at the Electric Ballroom in London.\n\nhttp://pinkflag.com/",
