I love "Slideling".And WAYGTDWYL is probably my favorite Bunnymen album (my generally clear convictions get very murky on this point.) But WAYGTDWYL and Flowers/Evergreen are two different sorts of things, like watercolors and oils, or, as I've suggested before, a smooth and creamy flan and a robust combination platter. Both, imo, are needful to life. - - K, already hungry for lunch ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 2003 10:55:00 -0500 (CDT) From: Amy Moseley Rupp Subject: Re: seven-seas RewiReviews.com > >While I don't think it's as good as Pete and Les, I hadn't put my finger > >on the fact that a good rhythm section is what provides the framework > >for Mac's finest performances. > > > Me being the huge Les fan that I am....I have to say that I have! That's true.... you've never been a huge MacSolo fan. That said.... do you like _Slideling_? How do you think it compares to the earlier trilogy of solo albums? I think that a lot of the magic was the pairing of Les and Pete; which unfortunately can't be recreated :-( But I'd love to see Les paired with another drummer and laying down a groove :-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 2003 10:59:17 -0500 (CDT) From: Amy Moseley Rupp Subject: Re: seven-seas RewiReviews.com > But WAYGTDWYL and Flowers/Evergreen are two different sorts of things, > like watercolors and oils, or, as I've suggested before, a smooth and creamy > flan and a robust combination platter. Both, imo, are needful to life. Don't mention flan! I'm on a diet! LOL Oh man, a panful of warm flan would do me in! So you would put Evergreen and Flowers into the same food group? :-) Robust combination platter.... surf and turf? - --Amy who just had Blueberry Morning cereal; LUNCH? It's only 9.58 am there!

Hey, I live in the Bible Belt, which means they whup the Bible into you with a belt! Growing up Southern Baptist definitely leaves its scars, though Baptists can sing the roof down. What I miss the most being Episcopalian/ Anglican (the American equivalent of CofE). It's the Klan that burns crosses in the yards of their victims. Why they burn something supposedly dear to them is beyond me. Do your skinhead neo-Nazis burn Doc Martens in the yards of immigrants? Nah, I'd look for earnest young missionaries dressed in white shirt and tie and nice .... are they called trousers if they go with a suit? we might say slacks .... handing out leaflets (aka "tracts") with the lyrics to "Stake Your Claim" printed inside along with a commentary on how Jesus saves. I could write such a commentary, but you'd have to pay me. A lot. :-P Well enough to get to England! No, unless the hillbillies in dungarees are into burning crosses in protest of the traffic and general mess that occurs with Glastonbury festival, you won't see them. Hmmmm.... they wouldn't burn banjos.... would they burn guitars? An electric guitar still plugged in would be awesome ;-) (Yeah, yeah, the hillbillies live on the Somerset / Devon border but surely they can hitch up the buggy or give their northern rellies a holler and tell them to go burn guitars ;-) ) If they were told to burn drumsticks in protest would they overcook their chicken? :-) Okay, I'll stop being silly.

I expect Georgie to have new "smart-crosses" which go stright to the intended victim whilst not disturbing those around it ;-) Religion is not important here with only a very,very small percentage who actively practice. Funnily enough, there is one local person who puts his own cross up in his garden as a protest to Glastonbury every year and it's a huge mother.. much bigger than is needed for one person. Perhaps I should burn him a compilation of Bunnytunes. As for our fascists, the Tory party is in turmoil at the moment, but there's still plenty of people reading the Daily Mail....
