Must be nice to live in a world where just saying "sorry" makes it all right.


I think that's called friendship.

A NYC photo from twit peter:

Also notice that he's posted Paul Adams' photo of Ian and the a-ha guy as his own.

Twit pete tweeted that the lady in the photo is not Peasy's wife. I think it's his sister. She looks like a nice lady.

Okay, is this the second advertising agency he was at? And now we know why this lady was there. Does inviting the sister out for a pint of Guiness constitute a pickup?

I’m in a state of 80’s rewind. The 80’s was a time in my life where music meant more to me than anything in the world. I turned ten in 1980 so that particular decade was pivotal for me in every sense of the word as the music moved me from adolescence to womanhood.

It was in the 80's that I listened to WRAS Album 88, the local college radio station, watched MTV and the Video Music Channel and became acquainted with every British band under the sun: Duran Duran, Heaven 17, ABC, Big Country, R.E.M., XTC, Squeeze, Madness, Haircut 100...I loved and listened to them all.

And I also really loved Echo and the Bunnymen. "Bring on the Dancing Horses" remains one of my favorite songs of all times. I saw them at the Fox Theater when I was in 9th or 10th grade.

Why am I mentioning all this today? Yesterday I had drinks with Ian McCullloch from Echo and the Bunnymen. I know it sounds crazy, but I was at a small show that he was doing at Grey Advertising in New York City. My sister works there and spear-headed the event. He sang "Fate Up Against Your Will" amongst other new songs and classics. He told a lot of jokes and a few stories. Sitting there, I felt like I was 13 years-old again.

After the show, he invited my sister out for a pint of Guinness, so we all headed into Madison Square Park for a quick stroll before grabbing a pint. It was a bit surreal. We ended up in a pub discussing his travels, his life in Liverpool, NY slang, Jewish lingo and British curse words. He told us more jokes. We hung onto every word without letting on that it a moment none of us would every forget. It was like having a drink with an old friend.

Definitely a night to remember, and a joy to bring the 80's back into my life even if just for a moment.

"Fate up against your will"
Did he forget the rest of the lyrics?
Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.
