I know I've quoted it before, but lines like 'I think you're an areshole, I love you even after I think you're an arsehole...', sung in a serious and angry tone (and a good proportion of their songs are built around such sentiments), really don't agree with me.

The overall effect was only marred Yeah, they do sing OK, and the harmonies are nice. The lead guitarist especially has an amazing range. 'Unfeasibly' attractive? Again, it's personal taste.

Sudden was in a previous band with Epic called Swell Maps.< A sad loss. In '79 I once saw the Swell Maps live. They were great on stage, completely anarchic. I remember there were two drummers. They supported another favourite of mine - the Red Crayola. A friend once played me a Swell Maps album where they screamed out "Army ! Army !" again and again. Admittedly, the musical content was low but I thought they were great fun live and I agree with you about the INXS man who I didn't rate. I've already forgotten his name. >Coffee & Cream are two men on acoustic guitars. The man I recognised was also a minor TV celebrity over here (UK) a few years ago because he was the final presenter of the Rock show 'Old Grey Whistle Test' on BBC2.< Susan Even just told me his name - Mark Ellen.

Many people talked through their set although I was not one of them, honestly. Maybe they had an off-night and I only saw their last few songs, but another time I think they need to put in a stronger performance than last Thursday. I see it as a two-way contract between band and audience. The audience owe it to the band to listen without talking, but equally the onus is on the band to command the attention of the audience. We've all seen weak support acts.

I was lucky enough to see him perform 3 or 4 years ago in Seattle, and he was delightful. A more charming, amiable performer, you are not likely to find, unless the performer is named Robyn Hitchcock. His music was more a tribute to his influences (Brian Wilson, Bacharach, among others) than they were original creations, but he'll be missed by me, at least. RE Storefront Hitchcock: Attention DC-area fegs. The Key movie theater is closing at the end of the year.
