NEW BUNNYMEN ALBUM

[Dave Smith]

I must admit it's growing on me, I'm almost looking forward to hearing the new album now. Almost.

Also I'm curious as to why there would be no survivors from a visit to a market town though?

Historically providing the location of most town activity, the importance of market
town centres to town and hinterland residents has diminished, leaving many
vulnerable to decline and their contemporary relevance questioned. In terms of
retail and many leisure activities, the functionality of market towns has declined as
mobile populations have looked to larger urban areas for a more ‘modern’ service
based on larger retail/leisure units. Within the towns themselves, activity has been
decentralized away from their centres to retail and industrial areas often on the
outskirts of town.

Obviously Mac had this in mind.

If it's the best song on the album we're screwed

Been listening to the old tune 'New Direction.' What a jam.

Have decided to go to see them in Paris. If it's the same old setlist, maybe I can pop the earphones in, listen to these old songs and pretend they are still as good!

Sounds like some something off Mysterio, 22 years later.

It is nice how Will gets one riff at the beginning of this 7 minute epic.
Does Mac have the lung capacity to pull off a 7 minute song where he continually sings non-stop?

Maybe an emoticon holding a tennis racket, with a hernia?

I thought we were friends!

The end times are near. Jesus is coming. Try and look busy.

[black francis]

Is there an emoticon for stirring?

Believe it or not I actually really like Life of a 1000 Crimes. For all its faults it really stands out from the rest of the Fountain. Market Town feels like pleasant background noise. Still really looking forward to hearing Lovers on the Run in its entirety.

You've obviously never been to Accrington on a Saturday night.

A most interesting observation, you seem to be suggesting Mac's lyrics reveal a paean to the market town centres of lore, or even the more recently lost corner shops and the sense of community and social interaction borne from regular visits to the aforementioned establishments. Indeed, much has been lost as out of town super, not to mention hyper, markets and sundry DIY stores have increasingly torn the hearts out of our town and city centres by offereing a myriad of services and products in their one-stop faceless, souless, carbuncles. On the other hand, it rhymes with 'down' which is always a plus.

[Dr Cheese]

Maybe he's been watching repeats of Open All Hours on Gold?

I think it's the rhyme with 'down' thing. I never thought of that. Cracking song though.
