I agree totally. It's very, very hip to slag them off right now (and always, I suppose), but they touch a nerve for me and I'm absolutely not ashamed to admit that.... And with the dregs of music creeping through the airwaves (even over here where, I think, radio is much more listenable than in the US, though at least ring tones don't make the charts over there) it's quite novel for me to turn up the volume. > "Cool > Eye for the Dork Guy"--if somene ever creates that > program, then he's client numero uno. Genius as always, Adams.... If I had any knowledge of or contacts in the TV biz I'd be taking that one to the producers for you - I'd kill to make that show. ;) Have fun at Glasto (who besides Stu and Raj are going?) I'll be crossing my fingers that this weather holds out through the weekend for ya!

See you at the barricades, babe! Friday afternoon, 3:30, John Peel stage (formerly New Bands tent). I would never have bothered but for Stu mentioning it to me the other day, but I will DEFFO be seeing Nine Black Alps, whose debut album, Everything Is, which came out last week, is absolutely superb.

What's your first festival memory? First festival memory? We played a festival called Smogrock in Sweden quite early on (laughs). But it'd probably be a small one in Leigh near Manchester, it was in a field and Factory meets Zoo. It was early doors, 80 or 81 around there, Joy Division were playing and so were Certain Ratio and Orchestral Manoeuvres in The Dark. It was small only about 300 people. I remember watching Joy Division come on as it was getting dark and there were loads of fires dotted around because there weren't many people in the field. People had just gone off and got wood and stuff to burn to keep warm. I remember when I was a kid I went to see Pink Floyd at Knebworth. I must have only been around 16 or 17. I think it was the Wish You Were Here tour. We spent the whole time the band were on queuing for some dodgy fish and chips because we were hungry, starving. I think that was the first festival I went to. Which festival are you most looking forward to this year? Probably has to be Glastonbury - it's the big one isn't it. Do you all actually like festivals? I ask because of some of Mac's comments when on stage. (laughs) yeah we all do. Really. That's just Mac being Mac. Have you played Guilfest before? Yeah I think so [you think right - Ed], that's the friendly one isn't it? I think we played there a while back with New Order [you think wrong - Ed], enjoyed it. It's nice to play festivals as opposed to gigs, as the pressure is off, that's great, there's no sound checks or waiting about you just get on and play and you're not just playing to your fans. Do you wander about festivals like Guilfest? Oh yeah definitely, I like to wander about the hippy shops, the tacky little shops looking for a bargain. Plus I like to go to the record shops too, there's always good stuff in them. When we play European festivals there's none of that there. I miss that. Plus there's that token thing where you have to queue up to get tokens for beer and then queue up again for beer and miss the bands. ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * http://www.neonhalos.blogspot.com ====================================================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V4 #203 ********************************
