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.

I predict that I will go to the next Bunnymen show and kidnap Mac and Will. With a bag over their heads and chains, like a miniature Terminator I will drag them all the way to a show with Uncle Jellyfish, Francois and the Atlas Mountains and Rozi Plain.
Mac thinks he is entitled to trash himself in his old age because his legacy was simply unbeatable. It seemed he had achieved everything-any progress of Post-Bunnymen music was mostly going to be downhill in comparison, though Radiohead, The Verve and The Chameleons UK sometimes dented that impression. But the thing about Mac and the Bunnymen (to quote Mac) is that they were "The best band at everything."

But when I was in Blackburn having followed the three miraculous acts above around all of England (well, London, Brighton and Blackburn) that premise SUDDENLY COLLAPSED.
The shock to Mac's system of seeing people who would surpass him even in his golden youth might put him back in the right direction. As for any damage his bad habits have created, as the sole owner of the worlds first working time machine, I can get rejuvenation nanites from the far future and inject them into Mac. Getting his looks, hair and voice back plus a bit extra range beyond his peak, along with complete immunity to any future self-abuse or ageing should do the trick.
Even then he'll still have his work cut out to equal them-particularly Francois, a young man with everything Mac had and more (and a girlfriend of equal talent-think Sonny and Cher but with superhuman musical abilities) but this "charming man" is incredibly modest and nice at the same time. If Leonard Cohen had young Mac's range he might be halve as good as Francois. I think Mac would like him.
I was speaking to the promoter saying the I never believed anything would beat post-punk, and my grief at the Bunnymen's latest non-effort, but he said Mac was still a living legend all the same, which was nice to hear.
I was speaking like a maniac trying to describe something so great that you can't even imagine it. But with one sentence he summed up what I was trying to say.
He replied "Well, it's Fence Records isn't it!"

One other thing. As the price for restoring his youth, I want Mac (along with Will) to play with all the bands above and do a joint cover of "Flaming Red" and "Dangerous Land" with the mentioned artists.

Now call me delusional. Only one person on this forum (Tonywojo) has had the initiative and imagination to find out that at least a small part of what seems a chink in the fabric of reality and reason is actually real, but even he has not seen the whole picture yet, perhaps when he does it will be too much for him.

The criticism is out of frustration. A combination of bad luck and more often bad decisions has really hurt this band.

There has been amazing music that has come out since Will and Ian got back together - Zephyr, Glide's Curvature of the Earth, Empire State Halo -

I noticed that during my last trip down to London. Overheard very few English people. I thought at the time that London had been invaded by the Polish.

Interesting. When I am there in there, it is always Australian. All the Londoners seems away to Greece or Spain.

Funny you mention the Polish. Scottish friends are frustrated with all the Polish and Eastern Europeans there looking for work.

Seriously I don't know where you guys come up with this stuff. I love the poon! There's even a Poon Automotive by my house. That's how hetero I am.
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
