Bry + his 4 heroic sons in front of synths, a la Kraftwerk, all wearing black suits, white shirts. Similar quiffs. Performing Windswept, Always Unknowing, Lover, This Love and Your Painted Smile. Neil Hubbard and David Williams on guitar. Julia Thornton playing ALL other instruments. Time to move on from all this lad fantasy stuff, all the dull riffs of Editions, Manzo trashing his guitar for Gods sake!...move on Cool Ruler. Revisit your dreamy sound-scapes.

My average is around 4 at any one time. Although the children increasingly dilute that number with their tedious McFly and Busted nonsense. (And if I put my iPod on shuffle there's a 20% chance of hitting the BF/RM jukebox jackpot, including boots etc. but I suppose that's a different dynamic.) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-avalon@smoe.org] On Behalf Of mvsleen Sent: 14 June 2005 17:01 To: avalon@smoe.org Subject: Re: [AVALON] Yeah, Same Old Scene!
