Sorry for posting a Madonna album review on this list, but something twisted inside me gets a real satisfaction from her getting really lousy reviews on this new album. Personally, I think he gave her far too much credit for her previous work though, I must say.

I didn't want to further fill your inbox, but I was caught in a quandary. I wanted to tell you that I'm going to acronym your priceless phrase OSITMCSAB because I love it -- but to *tell* you that means another damned message. And it mattereth not to MIS / IT / geeks with Gestapo boots whether it comes from the List or directly from me. Unless they just don't see enough mail from wimmin, and hell, they probably don't SEE wimmin. I always love your colourful writing, no matter how long or short the piece, and I wanted to tell you so :-) NOW you're probably going to tell me your girlfriend or best buddy works in IT, in which case forget I ever said anything negative about them, other than that they are paranoid and that I could do their job with both hands tied behind my back ;-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2003 22:20:55 +0100 From: "Matt H" Subject: Re: seven-seas Madonna's lousy new album. >Sorry for posting a Madonna album review on this list, >but something twisted inside me gets a real satisfaction >from her getting really lousy reviews on this new album. Then we're as twisted as each other! It really grips my shit when artists get to the stage when they think that they can release any old rubbish and the public will buy it (and buy it they invariably do, unfortunately). See my recent rants re Radiohead....though in fairness to them, they seem to have started on the road back from the hell that was Kid A & Amnesiac. Still a fair way to go, though....

Ordinarily, when English clubs are playing against European opposition in cup competitions, I will cheer them along whole- heartedly, so you would think that today, of all days (England's Patron Saint Day), I would be doing the same.

I wouldn't have said "old stick-in the mud curmudgeonly" about you at all :-) Good to see you're still about.. and because it's you.... NME Slideling Solo album from Chris Martin's post-punk-legend mate Never exactly shy about putting himself forward, Ian McCulloch now has someone else singing his praises too. When he's not slavering over Gwyneth, Coldplay's frontman calls McCulloch "the best singer ever". Which, frankly, may be going a bit far. But, back in the 80's with Echo & The Bunnymen, Mac was a mouthy Liverpudlian maverick when The Coral were still a twinkle in a buccaneer's eye. Age hasn't dulled his powers. Sure, nothing strays far from the Bunnymen's blueprint of downbeat grandeur, but that hardly matters for the gritty Scouse soul of "Baby Hold On", or the swaggering jangle of the Coldplay-aided single "Sliding". Chalk up another impressive comeback for the man in the big coat. 7/10 Jim Alexander Later, Stu Chris Adams wrote: But now I feel like an old stick-in the mud curmudgeonly sad-ass bastard=20 for even having said anything.
