I'll tell you why it's different now... Before LOTS of people complained to me offlist, About the excessive post that was back and forth between A few individuals... Now nooone complains... Why? Because the post have been open to many people to discuss And add to. "the rules" were designed as common courtesy... I don't say "bless you" everytime someone sneezes... I don't say "excuse me" everytime I burp... The point being nobody is perfect. I try... And that's ALL I expect of others. Diana, I welcome your post, and I do enjoy your insight Into a lot of things. I don't blame you for past List problems, and I'm truly sorry if I've been unfair to You in any way. I would very much like it if we could All just get along. Thanks, Dennis Please (ANYONE) feel free to take any list issues/concerns up With me via private email at: zap@softhome.net Let's try to keep the list friendly. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-seven-seas@smoe.org [mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Red Sent: April 5, 2003 6:39 AM To: seven-seas@smoe.org Subject: RE: seven-seas OT World Cup '66...........

And, in theory, Sergeant could drop a sparkling psychedelic lick upon each of Slideling's 11 tracks and we'd be looking at the follow-up to 2001's Flowers. But he hasn't, and we're not. And yet the absence of Sergeant's riffing is pretty much all that really distinguishes the sound of the Bunnymen from solo McCulloch. Either way, and with no disrespect to his sparring partner, Slideling is the best album McCulloch's had a hand in since 1984's Ocean Rain. Unlike 1989's deeply personal Candleland and 1992's disappointing Mysterio, both recorded in post-split/pre-reformation acrimony, this time he's just moonlighting from Bunnyland. All the same, it's a busman's holiday. "Stake Your Claim" and the gorgeous "Sliding" are as heart-skippingly splendid as "Bring On The Dancing Horses"; the chorus of "Arthur" as deliciously romantic as "Nothing Lasts Forever" and the dazzling "Kansas" finds Mac up to his shades in heaven, hell and hopes writ large in the stars. That said, here McCulloch is freer to scratch his Lou Reed itch, obvious from the opening chug of "Love In Veins" through to "High Wires" (with its "some kinda love" chorus) and most blatantly "Baby Hold On; which unblinkingly robs "Walk On The Wild Side" of its sliding bass sound. He's also more sentimental on his own, such as on the Beatlesy "Playgrounds And City Parks"; which is too sappy for your average Bunnymen LP perhaps but more than welcome here. Slideling is an intense, uplifting rush of blood to the head (no pun intended - -Coldplay's Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland feature on "Sliding" and "Arthur"). Smashing stuff, Mac - but for the love of trenchcoats and camo', don't go giving up the day job just yet. SIMON GODDARD Ian McCulloch on his celebrity muckers UNCUT: So Coldplay are big fans of yours? IAN: WeII, Chris [Martin] was going to duet with me on this album but he decided to do backing vocals instead because he said I had the best voice in the world. Then I saw Coldplay live last October and I said to him he was joint best singer in the world. Well, it was after the gig, you've gotta say something, haven't you? Chris is very focused, he uses his time like every second counts. I've never seen anyone work that way. Mind you, I've been hanging round with Scousers all me life. You also got actor John Simm in to play guitar? Yeah, but I'm not sure you can hear it. When he got a copy he said, "Bloody 'ell, where's my guitar?" I mean, it's in there somewhere I'm sure - John's there in spirit! Are you still mates with The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli ? I'm seeing him next week in New York as it happens. He's great. When we met he knew more about the Bunnymen than I did, he's a real fan of Will's guitar playing. He also told me that Bono wore "a piece" : At first I thought he meant a gun, but it turned out he meant his hair. - -- Barry Whiting barry@urquell.freeserve.co.uk ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #128 ********************************
