Dirty Vicar said: <<I am reminded of one thing from a while back - remember how the B&S manager person laid into some poor American who was all sad because B&S weren't coming to her town? He said that the band had played there before and were now more interested in playing in places they hadn't been to before, like Reykjavik. Since then the band have basically ignored Reykjavik and played a succession of gigs in towns they've already played in. If I lived in Iceland I would be very annoyed.>> Don't worry love, they're over it. In my recent sojourn to Reykjavik, they were quite happily playing TBWTAS in Damon Albarn's bar. And at no point did they cast any black magic over the band to prove their dismay. In fact, they looked to be enjoying the album, dancing around while pouring my extortionate Schnapps. So I think they forgive B&S, unless there's a Northern European tour that I don't know about... Mr Chu said: <<If how I guess the album is going to be is correct, it's almost going to be like B&S have matured and won't be spending the whole time singing about having being odd in school and having no friends or having wet dreams anymore, but sometimes sing about having loved and hurt and a being better person for it, or choking on cornflakes. And I am going to like it.>> Well said. The band have matured, the sound has matured and the lyrics have matured. And they sound a whole world better for it. Asleep on a Sunbeam just seems to say everything about my life at the moment, the title track is practically Morricone and yay for Thin Lizzy tributes. I've been listening to the album online all week, and I can't stop. I go home at night and sing the songs to myself, eager to get to work the next day so I can listen to the album again. I've always liked B&S. Now I finally love them. This is the start of a long and beautiful relationship together :D sharon xxx *all hail Trevor Horn* ===== ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
