I was livin' in LA (I know, but they all start that way, don't they?) dating a 24 year-old MSW from UCSB, having the time of my life. Corrupting the heretofore straight MSW was ALL the fun.

The sound that U2 adopted as theirs.

I used to get this band confused with U2. Big guitars, strong vocals, they sounded pretty much the same back in 1982. "Gloria" or "The Killing Moon," it could have been the same band on each song. Time passed, "War" came out. U2 went on to become pretty big stars. I'll always will have a soft spot in my heart for the Bunnymen.

You know you're listening to too much RP when you hear the same song in the same day. Actually, earlier today Bill played the 12" dance single.

Go Dawgs. I'm class of '79. The music in Athens around that time was superb. Saw Chuck Mangione(Bellavia) for free at the student center.The b52s were strong there then, REM was floating around,the campus radio station was killer(almost like Radio Paradise).I requested Stairway to Heaven once and they just laughed at me. Would see the guys from Goose Creek Symphony at TK Hardys. Best was going to Atlanta to Alex Cooleys Electric Ballroom to see FLO and Eddie then walking in to the Fox Theater afterwords(for Free)and catching the last set and encore of Fleetwood Mac then trying to get to Civic center to get a Who peek. Didn't make class much that year-Parents seriously irritated. Music GPA> 4.0 Scholastic GPA>not so much. hated that summer term. And yep,love Echo and the B'men, 'specially Lips like sugar. |

I can't help but love a song like this if only because it reminds me of younger times in my life. Never was a big fan of this particular band though.

I must be doing too many things at the same time ... I heard "lips like chicken" then "lips like liver, sugar kidneys." I had to look to see what this song was! Glad I misheard!!!

I saw them at the Loopallu 2008 festival in Ullapool, NW Scotland, and yer man was a stroppy, petulant w@nker who got the hump when he was told to put out the lit fag he'd brought with him onstage (dressed pretentiously as a monk), when everyone and their uncle knew that there'd been a smoking ban in place in Scotland for 2 years by then. Instead of getting on with singing as a proper pro would do, he muttered imprecations into the mike for the first two numbers, after which I got fed up with the spoilt brat and walked out (together with many others). The others in the band carried on gamely but yer man really did leave a sour taste in the mouth, and when I hear Bunnymen tracks now I'm always taken back to his 'performance'. A shame, as some of their stuff is halfway-decent. |
