I think REM did it more or less successfully with songs like "Country Feedback" and "Man On The Moon" along with others; but they are from the American South. I'm having a very hard time imagining Echo pulling it off. Though if I try *real* hard, I think of the guitar line in "Bedbugs" and it sounds *almost* Westernish and twangy. But not country. - --Amy, who is still weirding out over guys relieving themselves whilst watching gigs -- took a poll of my American (male) friends and they were horrified PS Getting very tired of mentioning Englishmen and getting back what Americans think of them -- 'buncha hoodlums trampling people to death at soccer games' (sigh) Boy that incident still lives big in the American consciousness ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2002 08:45:11 -0000 From: "Barry Whiting" Subject: Re: seven-seas OT A cautionary tale - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amy Moseley Rupp" > > converting and burning.

He's probably sat at home, right now, listening to the Electric Soft Parade thinking it's re-hased, indie bollocks which has been done a thousand times before in a thousand better ways....and he'd be right. - -- Barry. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2002 08:58:53 -0000 From: "Barry Whiting" Subject: Re: seven-seas Achey Breaky Ass - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amy Moseley Rupp" > I think REM did it more or less successfully with songs like "Country > Feedback" and "Man On The Moon" along with others; but they are from the > American South.

The whole of the WAYGTWYL would make an excellent country album. It follows the classic country blueprint. You know, songs from the heart, confessional, vulnerable...etc..etc I can hear it now. No honestly, I can. - -- Barry. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V1 #53 *******************************
