It's been a while...I'll give them a listen. It's been a while since I've made an effort with the rest of B&A, too; maybe it's time to try again. (Though I can't say the Dylan and Velvet Underground comparisons make me confident ... sacrilege, I know, but those are both artists I find myself respecting more than loving.)Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639386079408709264.post-30243239752038449602010-09-14T16:57:07.864-07:002010-09-14T16:57:07.864-07:00That's a shame dude.

Very much like Bob Dylan fronting Echo and The Bunnymen with some Velvet Underground thrown in for good measure. They're just perfect cold weather music...plus they are a truly awesome live band. Well if you're willing to give them amother shot, download the songs "woe is me" & "angela surf city" off Lisbon. If you don't like those then you prob won't like anything else.JR Suicidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367778966328167533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639386079408709264.post-72482400314759478132010-09-14T14:41:43.204-07:002010-09-14T14:41:43.204-07:00I gotta say, I think "The Rat" is one of...I gotta say, I think "The Rat" is one of the top 10 songs of the Aughts, but I tried and tried and tried to get into the rest of Bows and Arrows and couldn't do it. I just couldn't pay attention the entire time. I feel like I'm missing out, because I've heard a lot of people talk about them the way you talk about them, JRS, but I guess they're just not my cup of tea.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.com
