A Day in the Life of Ian McCulloch

General discussion about the band, live shows, its recordings or bootlegs, etc. You can buy, sell or trade here. You can even post eBay links. If it's about the Bunnymen, it goes here.

If the bastard Tories try to scrap Mac I'll be throwing fire extinguishers off tall buildings as well.

Mac's indestructible, though I would
like to see the Sarge get some more recognition.

A BBC documentary on 60's psych would be awesome,
just watching his natural delivery on The Metronome,
makes me confident in his presenting style. BBC 4 here
we come!!

Although he did put an effort in for the Croc/HUH shows, so hats off
to him for that, though I suspect Will had something to do with that.


He looked and sounded fantastic in 2003 a mere uh seven years ago. I thought he sounded amazing during the NY Ocean Rain show but I was hammered out of my skull at the time and audio recordings of the evening have proven otherwise.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

He does sound better the more intoxicated you are.

I wasn't so hammered and he sounded good.

I thought he sounded okay in the NY Ocean Rain show, but I was really surprised to hear him describe that as the best show ever - must be a pretty low bar!
