Paul Simpson interview (mentioning Les & Will) coming so

[DivaDiana77]

Yes. Perhaps of the three, he is the only one that has a possible career outside of music.

And one that he actually likes at that--something he always thought about doing. He'll have a nice pension when he retires at 80 or so. He could be teaching bass on the side if he wanted to.

[DivaDiana77]

Of course you can really hear the lack of Les - just listen to Evergreen where the bass can be heard distinctively even if some of the songs are Electrafixion era. The bass on perhaps the greatest post-1997 Bunnymen song, Empire State Halo, helps make that song.

Agreed. Many times the bass made the song--more than I can count. But you all know that. What he wrote made the songs work or was even the foundation--like with Bedbugs and Ballyhoo. He wasn't the most funktastic bass player or anything, but just outrageously distinctively good at what he did. As long as he and Will are still mates, I'll manage. As long as he is playing bass for someone, I think I'll be OK.

But I'm still miffed about the Go Penguin.

well, its pretty well established that he does, so no perhaps there either. or am i missing some subtle humour thing going on? wouldn't be the first time i suppose.

so have you been distraught for the last ten years or so. I wonder if he could feel your pain and it was that that brought him back.

ere lancs. yesterday your site wouldn't start for me at all. today its as quick as a mcculloch comeback from a gobby punter, lightening and all that. SO apart from the magic of the interent, what you done to it? Oh and yes. good interview.

What, "subtle humour", here on VT? Surely not.

In other words, we pissed about with it.

No humor. I meant what I said. Having a career outside of music gives him the freedom to say yes or no to playing music.

I understand Mac and Will not wanting to quit. I mean really what's Mac gonna do? Flip burgers? They should really give the NIN internet model a try see if they don't make a few extra bucks.

[DivaDiana77]

So, what happened with this? Is the interview out there and you forgot to boast--I mean tell us about it.

To do something like that, they would have to get rid of everyone currently calling themselves "management", I think.

Been busy. Brain like sieve from severe stress. When I got to the motorcycles part, I realized I had read it before.
