Of course the bastards don't name British Sea Power but that's forgiven...we're above it all anyway. [:D]

Blir,

Speaking of BSP, have you heard Brakes yet? (They're one person from BSP, two from Electric Soft Machine, and I can't remember where the remaining person's from...) There are two *really* solid tracks on that record, and counting.

Good article there Blir. Although I have to say, for an "after band" like Echobelly, they're really pretty darned good. I agree with the observation that second wave acts like Coldplay, etc. are copying the U2 business model garnering further success unlike the first wave 90's bands like Oasis who were a bit snobby to U.S. audiences. It's the smart thing to do.

Yeah, good stuff. The BSP fan site had links to all their tracks a couple months back. I wouldn't go out to buy it though. But you could slap a BSP label on rubber dogshit and I'd be all over it [:D]

I think you may want to get used to "All Nite Disco Party"...not a great bunch of lyrics, but it sure is fun...
