Post by: twangirl on February 11, 2003, 05:39:00 pm: Say what you like about "this washed up old has been", Cyndi Lauper has one hell of a voice...multi-octave range, and she knows how to use it. Sound check sounded good, she's got a talented band with her. We expected the show to sell out when we booked it. So what exactly do you have against her Markie?

Post by: chills on February 11, 2003, 06:08:00 pm: In my opinion, if somebody finds enjoyment in watching/hearing her perform, then good for them. Who am I to judge.On the other hand, the 80's are over...let it go...let it go...

Post by: twangirl on February 11, 2003, 06:16:00 pm: Since when is having a recent hit the benchmark for artistic ability? Seems to me I've seen plenty of discussions on this very forum arguing the very opposite. Anyway, I'm with Chills, why be judgemental? And why be insulting?

Perhaps Nick Lowe being a could counter example. Seems to me I've seen plenty of discussions on this very forum arguing the very opposite.the difference is was she really any good in the first place. Would I really want to see Britney Spears in twnety years time, or now for that matter? Anyway, I'm with Chills, why be judgemental? Chills said let the 80's stay in the 80's? Amen to that! And why be insulting?Because I can? Remember the moniker on the front page? " Make trouble"?

Post by: markie on February 11, 2003, 06:43:00 pm: I dont know about the US.....But in the UK there were a triumverate of hipster records every student worthy of the name owned:The Smiths, The SmithsPrefab Sprout, Faron youngLlloyd Cole, RattlesnakesI think that album shifted millions. He had a kid in the early 90's and then released the bad album with morning has broken on it.I saw him 10 years ago and he was great then. But then he has fantastic songs.
Title: Re: Cyndi Lauper
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on February 11, 2003, 06:47:00 pm: I never even heard of Lloyd Cole until his second album, Easy Pieces.In the U.K., Easy Pieces was a Top Ten hit. But although the album saw something like a proper release in the U.S. and the Commotions toured extensively, no American breakthrough materialized.
Title: Re: Cyndi Lauper
Post by: ggw on February 11, 2003, 06:53:00 pm: I saw Lloyd Cole many years ago and found him a rather drab entertainer, although he does write some very good songs.
Title: Re: Cyndi Lauper
Post by: markie on February 11, 2003, 06:56:00 pm: Easy pices was never a favourite of mine. Rattlesnakes is much better and I even prefer Mainstream.Have you never heard rattlesnakes?

Sounds impressive until you realize that that translated to #126 on the overall chart.I'm surprised Ms. Lauper was even on the Heatseeker chart. I thought that chart was only for artists who had never cracked the top 100 in their career. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Joymonster: The show sold out because she toured with Cher last year and was profiled on one of those "Behind The Music" specials a few months ago.

Moby's "18" also debuted at number 1 on that very same survey. Whether she ranked at number 27 or if it translated to 2007, it made the list.

Post by: bungle bud on February 12, 2003, 12:42:00 pm: markie i went to the show because i have been a fan of cyndis from 83 and have all her records, so i went and was bored to tears, easily the worse event i have been to and i include the ideal home show in my list of events, bad sound,she stoped songs if they didnt sound right and told a hundred of the most boring stories ever, there was a large gay following and a most people were 30+ some in there 40s, if you can take the pain of having a dick shoved up your arse you can take the pain of a cyndi lauper concert, i couldnt, i left when she started the 100 monkeys story,i should never have gone.

Post by: markie on February 12, 2003, 12:49:00 pm: thanks for the review Bunle Bud.Your experience bares comparison to soft cell. Well at least Soft Cell didnt have the annoying stories.Perhaps next time you will trust me?Why not come for a beer on Saturday?
Title: Re: Cyndi Lauper
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on February 12, 2003, 12:51:00 pm: I remember Bungle Bud saying he didn't want to meet Markie for a beer because that would be "too gay" to come into the city to meet another guy for a beer. Now BB comes into the city and hags our with hundreds of gay men at a club. Bungle, you've come a long way.

Title: Re: Cyndi Lauper
Post by: Guiny on February 12, 2003, 01:36:00 pm: I have to agree with Bungle Bud on this one, not only were us straight people a minority but the damn stories kept going and going and going and going and going.....good thing you left at the 100 monkeys story cause that was about 15 minutes by itself. She sounded good when she actually sang but that was rare. It was either her telling stories or her having the crowd sing. And the country version of She-Bop was a total waste.....Oh well it was still better then Natalie Merchant two years ago.

Post by: Fiona on February 12, 2003, 04:38:00 pm: Lose the homophobia, people. This is 2003 and that's so not cool. If the show was lousy, fine. I don't know because I wasn't there. If the stories were really that numerous and long, then I agree it was a bad show. But just because there were a lot of gay people there is not a valid reason to dislike the show. Gay people go to events all the time where they are outnumbered by straight people and don't have a problem with it. Why is the reverse such a big problem?

Post by: bungle bud on February 13, 2003, 11:11:00 am: a gay guy from dc and myself both posted reviews of the show on cyndis website,both of us commented on the boring stories.the gay guy went into everything that was wrong with the show (it was a long list), we both left before the end. went to her site today and are reviews are gone and have been replaced with reviews saying how great the show was. markie it looks like the bad weather along with the fact that my crap american truck is fucked i wont be able to make saturday, but you did expect some pathetic excuse didnt you? i will meet up with you one day and when i do i will let you watch me shag your wife rotten.
