Anybody Seeing Echo and the Bunnymen

[Jaguar]

Thank you, Chaz.        
 (But I got the direction he was sailing wrong.)
 
 Many years ago, while in Jamaica I spent some time hanging out with a Bahamian Voodoo priestess and her boyfriend who was originally from Norway but was now living in Jamaica. This man was a sailor and I mean the real deal from the High Seas. Believe me, I know Norwegian accents well and this guy had something totally different. Pure High Seas living mixed with Jamaican patois. Think Popeye with a much, much heavier accent including the use of the word 'me' as it's used in this song. After this experience, that song started becoming much more clear to my ears...except that I don't think that the band even knew all of the correct words and faked it at times too like everyone else. LOL. I know there is a false start at one point. Great song though.

The Cutter and Do It Clean are my faves...oy vey, I'll rest this weekend so I can do Echo and We Are Scientists.

Arghhh!!! I can hardly wait!  Might go to Philly as well.

Too bad same night as Calexico...
 
 The only reason I'm picking Calexico is that Echo and the Bunnymen kinda bored me last year...I don't wanna be bored again

brightblack morning light and espers at dc9 will likely be better than echo and the bunnymen and calexico combined. and i like both of those bands! but they are about, oh, 22 and, 7/8 years past their primes, respectively.

That last Echo show at the Black Cat was underwhelming, but I have a feeling that this will be a much better show. I just wouldn't miss Will Sergeant playing "the Killing Moon" for anything. I prefer Calexico when they're playing with Iron and Wine anyway.

I've been seeing Echo & The Bunnyman in the strangest of places lately.  Last week when I was at Dunkin' Donuts ordering a Light Latte I espied Echo & The Bunnyman.  They were disguised as blueberry jelly donuts and they were hiding out in the display case.  They must have thought that they were doing a good job at camouflaging themselves, but I spotted 'em right away.

Bummin' I have to miss this.  What songs are they mixing into Do It Clean these days?

[bearman🐻]

I'm not sure, but there's always lyrics of "Sex Machine" and "All You Need Is Love".

Hey, now that I've seen a playlist and listened to all of Crocodiles, Porcupine and Ocean Rain -- show's sold out.  If anyone hears of an extra ticket, lemme know.

I listened to a Brightblack Morning Light song about a week ago and liked it a lot. I may have to check out that show.

Bags, let's talk on Monday, I might be able to hook you up.

Cool.  If it works, it works.  Thanks...

I got shut out of tickets 3 days ago.  If anyone else knows of any floating about, please let me know...thanks!

I'm probably way off, but I always took the obvious interpretation that it was about an assassin. As in, kill the guy, but do it clean. I always thought the line "here, there, nowhere" was in reference to the victim being vulnerable to the assassin everywhere he goes and not being able to see him.
