(fwd) I'd bet Chris knows of this one.... though it doesn't seem to be as fan-oriented as SXSW as there are far fewer gigs (250 "showcases" vs 1200+ bands at SXSW).

That prog-rock shi!t that they started doing...indulgent wankfest, like punk never happened, etc. And Thom Yorke, he's an ugly fukker, and too non-charmingly self-obsessed. He's the miserable guy out with the fellas at the bar who always brings the convo down, mulling over some acne-scarred worthless pig of an ex-girlfriend or something. Pasty bastard needs a bit of sun and a good cocktail with an umbrella in. That said, "The Bends", IMO, is one of the best rock records ever. No, really, EVER. Top 50, easily. Oh, and "Love In Veins" is one of the best songs on Slideling, I think. Total Lou vibe, nice tossed-off lyrics, implied swagger. You kidz is from Mars or sumthin. - --Chris A.

It's not. It's fantastic -- so long as they continue to stay away from the Yes-tribute act they became post-The Bends, that's fine by me. - -- Barry - -- Barry Whiting barry@urquell.freeserve.co.uk ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-moderated-digest V2 #111 ******************************************
