explains why I like them

btw when someone says 'sounds like Paul Simon' do they mean 'sounds like the Paul Simon album that is entitled "Graceland" '?

yeah there was a bit of that alright. the first few songs had me thinking XTC and I was really having it. As the set progressed though it got way less interesting.and there were a couple of downright howlers in the middle. Overall verdict: bring back the Unicorns

I know someone who refuses to go see the islands cos they're not the unicorns


overall verdict: spa

 

[george mcfly]

I enjoyed it, wasn't as magic as the first time they played but the new songs sound great. Unicron, I stand by the fact that they played swans in the sugar club




Saw George Mcfly afterwards, gave him a nod, he looked at me funny. I like to think we shared a moment.

i didn't see you! would have deffo said hello

i was however in the bar having beers and wasn't at the show. i did hear a definite 'graceland' thing going on though

Last year was outstanding. This year was ok.
Haven't gotten into the album at all. Anyone think it's good?

Anyway, for that price I'd have to go see them again.

No, it's really bloated which is a shame becasue I thought the album was going to be really good when they played Whelan's last.

Shame the venue is so shit this time.

Bah! I'd die for Arm's Way. I'm not sure what the exact circumstances of doing so would involve, but all's I means is it's immense. Can't wait for this show, now I know the album really well.

 

[CinnamonBoy]

this show

Ooh...we need to be careful here...didn't realise.

 

[bloopitybloop]

Didn't mean to offend anyone.
