But is she in the Kylie Minogue league? VH1 has a shit special on asses, (yes, and this ass watched it) and Miss Minogue had a spot showing some video I've not seen where she has gold short, SHORT shorts on. I have to admit, I was quietly impressed. When you whisper "Oh my Lord" quietly, that counts as being impressed, right? NOt to worry, I've told the fiancee that I'll take her to see Ben Affleck in his red leather "DareDevil" outfit when in opens here next Friday. So what do the lot of you think of those 30 second snippets of new Mac material?

I get confused the other way round... and sit there and look at which "field" has 13 or more in it and use that for the day of the month! I've been transcribing births and christenings from England and it messes with my head! :-) In genealogy/family history we do write the day first, even in America, but then the month, so it would be 2 October 2003 or 10 February 2003. I was looking at someone trying to be hip and writing a date in the European style with dots in between, like 02.14.03 for Valentine's Day.... only thinking that it should be 14.02.03 if they were really trying to get it right :-) - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Feb 2003 12:26:45 -0500 From: Red Subject: seven-seas Mac solo tracks Finally got those tracks to work....Baby Hold On doesn't sound anything like the old version from ages ago!!! I think I like the older one better, but it's hard to tell from such a short clip. Stake Your Claim sounds like another song but I can't put my finger on it at the moment, however, the end of the clip sounds very J&MC-ish!!!! I'll have to listen more...but right now I've got a big headache trying to get my windows media player working! argh!!

What in your humble opinion is his best solo song? I'd be interested to hear what you think. Also was listening to the Church's Under the Milky Way today, gorgeous song if you don't think of the candy bar. Was wondering what any of you thought of it then, it seems like Mac could have sang it, or was influenced by him, still though a definite late 80's gem, love the bagpipe bridge as well. A.I. Yahoo!

Agreed that it could be a Mac song, though it would brighten up the song a bit IMHO. Mac's voice just is so .... sweet, no matter what he's singing, unless he's yelping (well!) as in the early days. Hmmmmm.... favourite Mac solo song..... "Candleland." Just gotta quote why: "I walked back inside me I'd gone back for my youth When I came down the fire escape It must've stayed up on the roof They say you just know And that knowing is the proof Of Candleland...." I think I'll teach it to my three-year-old as "Candyland" :-P hey appropriate cos Candy Lou was about that age then, not a lot more! - --Amy and in doublechecking the lyrics I found to my great distress that I'm repeating myself: Date: Wed, 05 Nov 1997 04:29:08 -0800 From: rtwatson@pacbell.net Subject: seven-seas Re:Lyrics One of my favorite McCulloch lyrics: I walked back inside me I'd gone back for my youth When I came down the fire escape It must've stayed up on the roof They say you just know And that knowing is the proof of Candleland Candleland It doesn't have the flash that some kids go for nowdays days, but when you get to be about twenty-three or so, like me, you come to appreciate the simple pleasure of meloncholy.

I hit 30 (which was about Mac's age when he wrote the above) and this is way more powerful to me than when I first heard it at 22.
