This will probably get me some stick, but I saw Garbage last night at the Electric Ballroom(small venue, holds 600) in London, and they were fantastic! Been a fan for yeras but never seen them live, as I hate stadium gigs but I was lucky enough to get tickets for this small gig. Shirley's voice is so powerful, and it was good to see that she can cut it live. Spent the later stages of the gig watching from the balcony, so that Joy could see(she's only 5'0"), and watching the crowd got me thinking. Despite most of their songs being good rocking numbers, there was no flapping going on(or moshing as it seems to be more generally known nowadays). Plenty of jumping up and down but no real flapping, as you'd get at a good Bunnymen gig. I've always enjoyed a good flap, especially in my younger days, and most of the bands I have been to see live, have had a flapping element in the crowd. Struck by the abscence at last nights gig, made me wonder why some bands get flapping in the audience, and some don't. Anyone got any ideas? Some bands certainly attract(ed!) more flapping than others. I think the roughest gigs I have ever been to, when it seemed the entire audience was at it, were Theatre of Hate/Spear of Destiny and early Sisters of Mercy, and The Smiths were always pretty rough too. There have been some great Bunnymen gigs for flapping too, and The Chameleons but why do people flap at some gigs, and not others? Answers on a postcard, please. Cheers Martyn PS Shirley really stared into the crowd, making every bloke there think she was staring just at them. Bit sad for them all, really, as it was obvious that she only had eyes for me! : ) Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= New Choices! *seven-seas or seven-seas-moderated Questions? mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 19:07:23 -0400 From: Red Subject: seven-seas Okay Martyn...we heard you!! ;-) heheheeee =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= New Choices! *seven-seas or seven-seas-moderated Questions? mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2002 00:02:14 +0100 From: matt.harkness@bt.com Subject: RE: seven-seas OT Garbage/Flapping!

Not to "Big Stuff-it" here but I've been lucky enough to meet Shirley twice and I have to say, she and the rest of Garbage are about the best! Of course, Will is also top notch; Mac is cool, but sometimes has attention deficit but that's ok; I think it's a male/singer thing. Nick Rhodes from Duran and Martin Gore from Depeche Mode are great as well. Met no one in California, but move back to Michigan and I've been lucky to meet most of my big influences. Very lucky!

At least when I met Mac and Will that was the case.... Will was sober, but jovial and very nice about talking to and listening to the fans; and Mac.... well.... he was living inside his own head at that point, and his coordination was non-existent. - --Amy =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= New Choices! *seven-seas or seven-seas-moderated Questions? mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 21:09:01 EDT From: Twenty9pearls@aol.com Subject: Re: seven-seas-digest V1 #114 In a message dated 8/30/2002 6:44:42 PM Eastern Daylight Time, owner-seven-seas@smoe.org writes: > Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? > > I can...!
