badly drawn boy or british sea power? November 04, 2003 at 03:06 PM UTC #
which show should i attend? i'm torn. i wish bdb was an early show and once it finished i could pop over to the black cat for bsp. but sadly, that's not the case.

what's a fan to do?

I'm in the same boat except I have a wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner the same night. Luckily it's in DC so I am hoping I can pop over in time for Phaser, if that is the show I decide to go to.

See British Sea Power…my sister saw them in NY this past weekend, and not knowing them at all beforehand thought it was a fabulous show. And she's a pretty tough critic.

I'm not sure BDB is all that thrilling live.

it wasn't that tough a decision for me…….

BDB is one of the worst shows you could possibly see. You're better off watching the home shopping network.

BSP has only just released its first album. I saw them two or three months ago. The albums is good but not great, despite being on Rough Trade.

BDB seems to be coming around every year or so. He has 3 albums, the first two of which are great. The thisrd one was overproduced. I am not sure the stage show worked that well with a band.

I am looking forward to seeing him again without the band. Hopefully he wil improvise and muck about the way he did the first time he came here. That was the longest performance by an act I can remember, at close to three hours.

Maybe you should listen to it more, you dont recognize it when it comes on

True, In my defence, it does sound like so many other things. It think I said it sounded like one of them, right?

I dont really remember.

yes, i agree. He is Badly Perfromed Boy.

Although, when i saw BDB it was the same weekend i saw Ben Folds and as far as comparing two guys with pianos onstage….he royally sucked.

Oh, I remember now….. I was confused because you normally only ever play GBV, but it didnt sound like them (much better).

remember this story…

BADLY DRAWN BUSKER

Badly Drawn Boy took to the streets of London yesterday for a spot of busking but could only manage to earn £1.60.

Damon Gough has enjoyed two hit albums and a lucrative soundtrack deal for 'About A Boy' but he went practically unnoticed despite performing in his trademark hat outside one of London's most popular commuter stations.

According to The Sun, the singer-songwriter was filming the video to his forthcoming single 'All Possibilities', playing an hour long set outside Waterloo Station.

"People didn't believe it was me, or didn't know who I was," he told the paper. "I sympathise with real buskers, most people just don't care."

the first 2 hours of that show were enjoyable, the last hour was painful.

If I knew it was going to be so long, I would have been better prepared for it. The last half hopur for me was a real struggle. But that is what I am hoping for on Friday.

It was great entertainment.
