"Turn out these eyes, Wipe off my face, Erase me"

For this episode, I look back at the Telekon single 'This Wreckage' from 1980. In the episode, I delve into:

  • Why Gary Numan regretted choosing it as a single
  • The meaning behind some of its Japanese lyrics
  • How it was sampled by a classic 2000s dance track
  • Its beautiful B-side 'Photograph'
  • What his fans think about the divisive single

Clips used:

  • Gary Numan - 'This Wreckage'
  • Gary Numan - 'Photograph'
  • Basement Jaxx - 'Where's Your Head At?'
  • Gary Numan - (R)Evolution (audiobook)
