badly drawn boy or british sea power?

[bungle bud]

lily1 if you go to the bdb show make sure you get their for the wonderful leona naess, but if you want to see a great show its got to be BRITISH SEA POWER.

[lily1]

so here it is friday morning and i STILL can't decide. maybe i'll flip a coin.

[Relaxer]

I'm in for British Sea Power. Have never seen them live, and the guitars on the album sound ripe for the live setting. And I want to see Phaser too.

If you only knew the story of BDB's hat......

plastic birds, lots of foliage, second world war tin hats and military outfits, marching through the crowd.....
 
 those kind of gimmicks to distract people from the music.

[lily1]

because the music is sub par? or just for the hell of it?
 
 right now i'm thinking its bdb. but could change in an hour. i dunno. maybe what hasn't sold out by the time i get there tonight? that's a decent strategy me thinks.

Add San Francisco to that list.  Smackette can't get enough of Sway and has now recommended it to many of her friends (amoeba had used copies for $2.95 and it flew off the shelves).
 
 Thank you Jag for making smackie look good.....

I'll be glad when this evening passes and this thread dies.
 
    How is Badly Drawn Boy any different than Elliot Smith, other than still breathing and a bit less talented?

BSP were great both musically and in their performance.  I wouldn't call them "gimmicks" or "distractions."  More like "enhancements" or "accessories."

[markie]

Acytually, I liked BSP, I thought it was a good show. I would see them again. But BDBs albums are just so much better.

[bungle bud]

look markie just wants some company tonight and will try anything to get people to goto bdb. rhett this thread will not die if you keep posting on it  :roll:
