Check out Madrugada, saw them again last week in NYC at a Norwegian night (weird huh?) But not as weird as El Ves, who I also caught while in NY (he was in The Zeros for you old 'punkers' http://punkmodpop.free.fr/zeros_pic.htm) Previous week I was in Brum for punk all dayer Damned (still going strong) Buzzcocks (disappointed me for first time ever, bad mix) Undertones (brilliant, new singer very very good. New LP meant to be very good) Slaughter and the Dogs (poor, worst cover of Waiting For My Man, which I kept humming in NY ever time we crossed or went down Lexington) The Beat (very good, not sure why they were playing here) Heard a Kasabian track which sounded quite good, very Primal Scream. Alan McGee called Coldplay bedwetters, can't imagine what he thinks of the likes of Keane and Snow Patrol.

Tunes aplenty but it just doesn't find the top corner, for me, and I can't see it being a grower. Not much doing for me, either, aside from The Streets' 2nd. The new Sonic Youth is return to the early Geffen sound and is nothing short of fantastic in places ; keep hearing bits of The Stills here and there and liking what I hear but, again, when it comes to the album, it's "ok" and we know that's never good enough, really. Oh, and I'm probably alone in liking the Delays record but I think that's the summer-longing in me. - -- Barry Stu Bird wrote: >To be honest Barry, I haven't got the album yet, but I like all the >output I've heard. We managed to get 3 touted tickets for the Bristol show, and they were brilliant live. A bit of a shock for me as there are no guitars, but they carry it off really well. They take a lot of pride in their b-sides ( possibly due to lack of material ? ) which I also like.. It's far too easy these days for bands to put out crap as b-sides. > >I'm going through probably the laziest time ever regarding music.. >Can't be arsed to get new releases, or even download stuff, not to mention online activity. > >Still Glasto is only 6 weeks away now..

I'm playing them now...and I wanna say that the Tom Waits comparison may be kinda vague.. I think it's more his vocal style on some songs moreso than musical. I could also add Clinic to the list, as I've heard some similarities to them in one or two songs too. They're kinda hard to explain...but I think a lot of you would like them. :-) Red ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 19:01:46 +0100 From: "steve g" Subject: seven-seas Imagine ''imagine no possessions, i wonder if you can... except for the massive collection of fur coats in an uninhabited, climatically controlled appartment in one of the most expensive blocks in new york...'' i guess that wouldn't have worked! stevie g. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 19:03:21 +0100 (BST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Stu=20Bird?= Subject: Re: seven-seas OT: Keane Thing is Barry, Oasis are headlining the night before, so we'll all be hacked off with Beatles songs by Sat.. I just don't dig the guy, especially as he's trying to get some of the Beatles songwriting credits changed to "McCartney & Lennon".. Tosser.

Plus, looks like Warner Bros are slashing their roster: INSIDE THE INDUSTRY WARNER MUSIC LOOKS TO SLASH ARTIST ROSTER The newly private Warner Music Group, having significantly reduced its worldwide staff, is now turning its cost-cutting efforts toward its artists, with more than 80 to get the axe. http://www.billboard.biz Charles Pham Web Producer charlesp@eonline.com AIM: PicturesOnMyWall WORK: 323.692.4676 CELL: 323.273.1550 E!
