They all looked like they'd taken 10 tabs of acid each. Then after a few songs I just thought, this isn't a gig it's theatre and I couldn't stand them any longer. PS. London is a fantastic city, probably the most cosmopolitan one in the world. PSS. Coldplay are a damned fine band. I think Chris Martin is a real breathe of fresh air with the enthusiasm he has for his music. He obviously has great taste and influence right? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-seven-seas@smoe.org [mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Amy Moseley Rupp And WTF is up with Polyphonic Spree in England? Do any of you lot actually LIKE that band and why? They leave me feeling like going on a Postal Spree and they're from DALLAS which I absolutely loathe. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 06:12:22 -0600 (CST) From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) Subject: Re: seven-seas Polyphonic Spree > I went to see these lot a few weeks ago and was quite impressed to start > with, it's quite a different live experience.

The acid reference is quite apt .... or Ecstasy, but little way MHO you could play like that.... classical instruments are harder to fudge than rock instruments or even vocals. Gotta hand it to that French horn player .... he's very good! It *was* theatre.... Jesus Christ Superstar without any plot or panache. - --Amy (who did not slag London or Coldplay directly -- only quoted some people on the first -- the second I think are overrated by Americans but am willing to give them a chance to do bigger things in future) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 06:13:10 -0600 (CST) From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) Subject: Re: seven-seas SXSW night one > Sounds Glasto-esque Without any fucking fences, and decent loos! :-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 18:16:17 -0500 From: "David & Bernice Whiting" Subject: seven-seas Re: New Music - Sheila Divine My old friend and drummer, Jeff, just recently raved to me about Sheila Divine. I've been aware of them for quite a while, but I haven't picked up anything by them yet. I think I'm going to have to change that soon though. Personally, I'm quite fond of Interpol these days.

They opened for Morrissey at Avalon here in Boston and the guy sang flat through the whole f-ing gig. Later, they added a second guitarist which help with the sound, but not his singing. The songs are kinda bland, as well. I have tried to like them - checking out their last two albums and the new EP, and I just haven't really been impressed with them. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 23:27:55 -0800 From: Charles Pham Subject: seven-seas bbc article: small mac mention there's a small mention of Ian McCulloch at the bottom of this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2860761.stm Robbie to release anti-war tune Singer Robbie Williams is releasing an anti-war song as the B-side to his next single in April. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #81 *******************************
