Sinister: Missing the point
Duke totally misses my point about the Manchester gigs. I DON'T want B&S to be a polished professional act, I said that in my post. What I do object to is corners being cut on the technical side, either through lack of experience or the foolish belief that 'all-round incompetance' is somehow attractive. Maybe you'd be happy if they recorded the next LP by placing a walkman in the corner of a big room instead of spending a few days in a 'professional' (oh my god!..) studio and using 'professional (here we go again...) equipment with a 'professional' engineer. And then they could release it on cassette only without bothering to master it because they've got lives to lead and they just do things for themselves - fuck the people who funded it by buying the last record. Duke, I think you'll find yourself in a minority here. Sorry mate Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

i know. i have selective amnesia. you get it free when you teach 11 year olds you know. comes in very handy in class but gets you into trouble when you're in the real world.

sounds like a top-notch idea to me. maybe i can be their manager then...

story of my life mate, it's nothing new to me... basically, my bottom line is that i've never been that bothered by shows anyway. i'm not a show kinda guy because i don't like people very much as a rule. it's a silly rule, and it gets me into all kinds of nasty scrapes, but wayward and cynical is just my way. And as the Claim said, that never left a lasting impression upon her lonely heart... but i digress. i'm a sad and lonely (not to mention bitter and twisted) old git who much prefers the old bedroom and record player idea of Pop consumption. god i need a holiday... duke -- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ Tangents On-Paper: PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@mail.zynet.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
