From Charles Byron:
Yesterday,
Echo & the Bunnymen played for the first time in Buenos
Aires at the Opera Theatre. Since they're my all time second
favourite band, I went to see them.
After the show (by the way, it was great!), I went to have
some drinks at a bar called "La Cigale" with my
girlfriend and guess who I was with? Yes! You're right...
Ian McCulloch...
The man was in a good mood, so I felt free to talk a couple
of minutes about the concert, people in South America and
music in general. Since I was wearing a Belle and Sebastian
T-shirt we talked about them (he doesn't know a lot about
their music) and of course, I couldn't help but to ask him
about Moz.
First, he smiled when he saw my pin of The Queen Is Dead
and then, when I asked him what he think about Morrissey, he
laughed with his friends and said something like "aarrrrgg
come on! He's not bad, but I don't like him"... Also,
in his usual way he said things like "Aren't we the
greatest band on earth?" Well, I thought you might be
interested in it...

Comments / Notes
Oh my God! The best voice in the world talking about the best lyricist in the universe.
Anyway, don't pay attention to Mac's comments (or at least don't take it seriously), he usually makes fun of anybody.

Echo and the Bunnymen are definitely my second favourite band. Echo are and never have been totally appreciated. The best bands usually dont get much attention by the mainstream. Everyone is into Rap or should I say Crap!

i listen to their "songs to learn and sing" and it is great, just great. how come the lyrics in evergreen are about nothing, and the melody is so different? i think his voice is not as good as it was. they sound like oasis now - especially the lyrics (he even said he and noel are the same...or was it liam?)

I saw Echo last Friday night at the TLA in Philadelphia. And I have seen him before in philly as well. So...I say this with hesitation. He did not sound that good this time around. Maybe it was poor sound, I dunno. But, his voice was straining. The music was too loud for anyone. But he did seem to love to rock it out. Anyway, his self loathing and why me attitude, as per his new album is totally egotistical and currently being portrayed on stage. So I can believe him when he says E&TBM are greatest band in the world. That's debatable of course. I guess somebody has got to say it. Everyone thinks it, but they don't say it publicly. You got to hand it to him at least he gives us fodder for discussion. That's more than many bands do these days.
