Bill Drummond's new book

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Bill Drummond's new book

Postby Kounelaki » Sun Jul 13, 2008 5:06 am

"Music, Uncertainty, Bill Drummond, night trains across Russia, girl pop, sitting on a ledge, art, drunken mercenaries on the north sea, starting again, a classroom of 13 year olds, getting everything done before death, a river full of headless eels, waking up to find all music has disappeared & a choir called The17."

http://www.the17.org/publications.php

There are links to the first chapter (and Bill Drummond reading it).

I like a running joke, even if it doesn't involve Jake Brockman. :wink:

I'm only talking about the first Chapter and having Drummond read it to me. Perhaps if I read it myself - his reading voice is a bit over excited about his own musings.

You should hear me talk about MY musings.

Something tells me we'll all find out come New York. I could use some advice too. I hear you hand it out after a few drinks.
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

You should hear my audio book version of the Bunnymen discography. It's riveting.
