Interesting. Youth has also just produced Peter Murphy's soon to be released album Lion.
Maybe Killing Joke, The Bunnymen and Peter Murphy should tour together. Actually that is a bad idea.

Nobody wants to see Mac in a Subaru.
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

They are highly coveted round these parts by young twenty-something farmers with a penchant for speed (you can also get two sheep in the back for those saturday night threesomes).

Maybe I was being a bit too hasty writing off Subaru then.

BF, apparently it was 'a friend's' car that he borrowed. That's what they all say about Subaru's out these ways!

It's a bit mad over there. Although Mercs and Range Rovers still hold their value, Mazda's and some Nissan's are also looked at as sports cars of sorts. If you'd say that around certain company here, you may only get a blank stare in return.

Still wish PM would've been found in a flash car!

I don't know any Subaru owners. Shame it wasn't a Prius.

Bumpers. So is this thing still coming out at the end of the year or have saner heads prevailed?

Scratch The Past

Postby redgumball » Sat Sep 21, 2013 3:44 pm

Someone actually liked what Youth did with the Mac solo album? Jeezus.

Adding a geezer to the helm doesn't impress me. The Bunnymen have been dropping shitty albums since Evergreen - the last one almost severed their own throat. The solo albums take a nostalgic turn, but I couldn't even listen to them - gutted. With harps indeed!

Adding a guy from Killing Joke, who might be older than dirt (and in the same twilight, crooning phase) just doesn't offer much to be excited about. Looking backwards and not forwards is proving to be dangerous (Subaru excluded). Can we get a polka mix of Killing Moon please? It's the only version I don't have...

Adrift without a rudder...the one positive is the lack of Toot and the sounds of Poltergeist. Proves, Will still knows what fans like and has some ballsy edge to him to try a full album of kraut--psych-rock.

We're dreaming if the new album even comes close to Evergreen - at this point (which isn't even the best material). I'd offer this:

Throw away the egos, done the raincoats, mend the bridges, set sail for Crystal Days. Take a note from some of younger bands, who do an imitation of the bunnymen better than the actual Bunnymen. Tale a chunk of coal and scratch it in the ground.

Macca, you want Bunnymen lite (Nat King Cole, Sinatara after hours) then try to craft songs like The National - gutteral, catchy, Joy Division Crooning. Scratch the past like Crystal Stilts - everyone's going retro. Can you?

I don't think the lyrics will be that good.
