sounds intriguing. Would seriously consider it, but it's a long old
way from the dreaming spires to Mersey side, so probably not.

Black Francis, thanks for announcing this news. You are doing a great job there.

I will be going. The cheque's in the post. I made it payable to "Black Francis Esq" so it should clear quickly. Being sent by airmail: Black Francis/Porcupine Management, care of the U.S. of A. Should be with you sometime soon.

[black francis]

Sad to say your tickets haven't been sent out yet but they've already been lost in the mail.

Tough luck.

Being 8 time zones away makes going difficult. Sadly, the Bunnymen will be playing Liverpool on my birthday (Dec 12) and I can't teleport there for it or the movie.

You may want to discuss teleportation with Dr. Evil. He's already invented a time machine so I imagine teleportation would be no problem.

Speaking of Dr. Evil I NEED you to let me borrow the time machine.

Hadnt heard of the Shines So Hard film till I started reading here. Is it any use?

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

It's on YouTube in its full entirety, but the quality of the sound of the person's chewed up betamax video is shite.

Shine So Hard, more like Listening so Hard but nice film

[theparlez]

thanks for the link, thats superb footage - obvious quality issues aside.

I must have a word with a man I know who polishes up this kind of thing.

[Sir Francis Cowley Burned]

Great thanks for the info. FACT is a boss place to do that. I remember seeing it screened at the NFT in London years back and Mac was interviewed after. His first comment was typical: "It was crap, wasn't it!" But I think it really gets the excitement across of those early Bunnymen days though, when it seemed like a kind of religion.

it would make a great dvd

I wish I had Porcupine on something other than VHS. I played the shit out of that thing and now only about half of it is viewable.

If I still owned a VHS player that is.

Living here in Wales, we are still debating which one to plump for with these newfangled videomatic machines. Apparently there are two variants, one being called VHS, the other a Betamax and I'd hate to buy the wrong one so I think I'll wait a while.

I recently upgraded to Laser Disc and could not be more pleased with my choice.

[Voodoo Billy]

Mmm lasers eh, think I've seen them on Doctor Who.
