                Yup, Twenty Four Hours is a great riff.
 One of those JD tracks I keep coming back to (the Peel session too).

                That confirms the Technique, Substance, and Republic shows. WOT no One True Passion, or Monaco or Music For Pleasure tour? |

 Those riffs though, shuddering.

                Did anyone else notice that he credited LWTUA's lyrics to Bernard?  Strange slip. |

                When the bunnymen played crocodiles and heaven up here live a few years ago it was because there was nothing  interesting that was new . Same for Peter. It is normal for everyone but a few to depend on the past  For live shows .Bernard seems to be one in a zillion that puts great songs together after he gets older. Maybe because it is his passion to excel. |

                  i  was blessed to speak  with  steven and gillian  briefly about  peter de freitas ,  the bunnies phenomenal percussionist . i spoke with les  pattison long,long ago  (1990) and i got the idea that  he was  ready to quit, wanting to be around  for his  family .   i always thought ian would keep up with bernard , but 'get ready'  and 'wftsc', and' bad lieutenant' are all great, and 'siberia',' fountain', 'meteorites' are not. but,  there is  so much that is great from  the bunnymen and ian and will  and les and peter  it hardly matters .   new order , meanwhile  just keeps eclipsing  everyone, and  the bunnies are still bigger than every other band from the 80's, except  new order.  oh,  and will is one of  my  6  favorite  great guitarists  that i have had the privilege and been blessed to have  spoken to. ian still smokes too much, and for all my attempts to get him to play 'gods will be gods' or 'antelope', over the years, he would just laugh, say maybe or possibly , but  he was very cordial  after i showed him the  old nme  article and photo of him and bernard in southern cal. i wish them all  enormous happiness, because that is what they all gave me.    |

                electafixion type songs could have  saved the bunnies  this century,  and 'evergreen' was good, but 'what are going to do with the rest of your life' only had 2 great songs , then 'slideling' was dreadful,  ' flowers' was fine, and everything since i  doubt i will ever even try to  listen to again, they hurt so much.  21st century new order/bl  is approaching the 2000 listens per song that 'pc&l','brotherhood', 'republic',  'substance', and 'technique'  reached long ago, . and 10000 listens  without getting bored is  not out of the realm of possible. 20th century new order did have  some  'lowlife' side 2  songs, and some  of  'movement'   that is not so hot. |

I know we're straying off topic here but we'll have to agree to disagree.  I love What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? I also think most of the Electrafixion stuff sounded a bit desperate and forced.  How applying industrial and grunge elements to the Bunnymen sound would help them now is unfathomable to me. |
