Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Went off to see Hazel O Connor doing her Beyond Breaking Glass show at the Edinburgh Fringe on Friday. I`d read a bit about the shwo before going, so i knew we were in for an evening with her and a harp player doing arrangements of songs from throughout her career. Was quite sure how that would work...

Watched The Notorious Bettie Page on DVD last night - interesting film, but its hard to believe she was as niave as the film suggests. Film looked great mind you.

Just back from a 'No More Heroes' Moment, as young Jet went 'walkabouts' for an hour this morning.

First gig for me was Adam Ant at the Glasgow Apollo in 1982 - good gig from what i remember, and although it gave me a taste for going to see bands, the chance didnt come up again till The Stranglers at the same venue in 1985.

Wonder if they`ll do a cover of Milkshake by Kelis?

This isnt the only time this kind of thing has been sold, there was a similar package being put up for sale on one of Alice Coopers last tours. Cant remember exactly what the prices were, but i think they were a something along the lines of what is being charged for the Avril package. Mind you, for ...

Over the years i`ve seen a few CDs knocking around which contain lots of different bands doing covers of one particular bands songs (e.g. loads of crap metal bands no-ones heard of murdering Alice Cooper songs). If an album like this were to be produced for The Stranglers (although i suspect one has...

Cats. They all seem like mardy gits to me.

Not a big fan of Feline then?

I like cats, but could do without my two trying to shred my hands when they go into mad half hour mode for no apparent reason.
