They were utterly shambolic at times, but "Bummed" is one of the great Factory releases - it's far better than "Pills n Thrills" which has the sheen of the odious Oakenfold all over it. There's no doubt that they were an idiosyncratic UK band - much of the lyrical content was nonsensical even to us Brits, let alone the USA.

Any idiot with half a brain knows that I was the greatest creator of a hybrid AcidTechnoHouseRock band. But it is true that no American record company wanted to support my vision. Happy Mondays were a complete waste of time. Absolutely no groove whatsoever because they were so f*cked up they couldn't play worth sh*t. Even on a rough night with Gen @ his egocentric worse, PTV 1988-1991 towered above those Mancunian tossers. telepathic regards, the kooky scientist -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Martin Dust" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > You know how it goes, 4hrs listening to someone else tuning snares and > pads.... > > This made me laugh tho, Derrick should have kicked Allen's arse... > > New Music Seminar organised by Tony Wilson, held in New York. > Featuring a cast of Tony Wilson himself, Keith Allen, Derrick May and > Marshall Jefferson http://dewit.ca/archs/JD/New_York_Story.html > > m > > > ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
