We got stuck in traffic and missed them in the signing tent :-(. We were still on the A12 at 1.12pm and I thought we were gonna miss all of the Bunnymen. We actually got parked up at 1.15pm which was a miracle!! I got out the car to hear the Bunnymen playing the 1st song - Lips Like Sugar, we then had to walk a long way to the entrance (listened to Bring On Dancing Horses and Seven-Seas on the way to front of stage). Got to front (knackered) to see the rest of the set - Nothing Lasts Forever, Killing Moon, The Cutter, Back of Love. They were on for half an hour. Mac's voice was absolutely brilliant (as it was when I saw him at Summer Sundae festival in Leicester last Sunday). Don't know what he's been doing/taking or whatever but his voice was exceptionally good last Sunday and yesterday!! Seemed to go down well with the crowd but there was a distinct lack of Bunnyhopping/jumping about.... We then legged it to see The Rainband on another stage just to hear them say "Thanks, you've been great, goodbye" grrrrrrrr :-(. What I've heard of them I like a lot, I think they are a bit like Interpol in as much as they are derivative of good 80's bands although I haven't heard enough of them to know that for sure....so don't quote me! Went to see I Am Kloot (the more mature slightly grey haired Liam Gallagher). Fantastic singer/songwriter from Manchester went down REALLY well with crowd and was up for a bit of Manc banter....Mis-teeq were due on next and a few boys kept shouting for Mis-teeq to wind the I Am Kloot singer up. They wanted girls and to everyone's surprise I Am Kloot's next song involved dancing girls dressed in 1920's dresses so that shut the hecklers up!! Foo Fighters were superb and had the crowd eating out of their hands.... Coldplay were alright (bit boring here and there). Chris Martin doing his impression of Bono by wandering about all over the side of the stage etc.....Mac never joined them at the end which is good coz it would've been a bit predictable....

Jacques" Subject: Re: seven-seas un- Cool I'm not picking on anyone here (honest Chris ;-) ) or their choices But most of the films that people have mentioned are (dare I say it?) getting abit old now. Yeh I know nothing wrong with 'Old movies' Heck only last year me and Elwood P Dowd were the same age..........how old is George Bailey??? I found it particuarly interesting the number of people who mentioned Midnight Run, was that because it's Macs fave flick? This must be the only community I have come across that has heard of the movie, apart from 'The Midnight Run Fanatics Society' but that only meets once in awhile.....to be more specific now and again. Chris I think you summed it up about Heat - It was alright - but it lived more on hype than content (IMHO). Trouble with De Niro was we were spoilt (big friggin time) too early in his career with movies like - Godfather 2, Once Upon a Time in America, Taxi Driver, Angel Heart (small, important, and beautifully manicured role). His rip off of 'Side Show Bob' was fairly passable ;-). Ok lets just agree he's made some great movies..........just not in the last 5 years lol. Ken ps That movie about the Italian fellows with that little bloke who gets abit uptight.....I think they based it on a brand of pizza.....that was ok too ;-) - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Adams" To: Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 2:59 PM Subject: Re: seven-seas un- Cool > I think De Niro's been in a few good things over the past few years.
