Not a fan of Big Country then?
Is anyone?
They're alright.
Besides "In a Big Country" and that other single off the first album, name three of their songs.
Steeltown, East of Eden, and Wonderland.
Okay, that took some time, but they're alright.[/quote]
I bow to you. No, not quite bow. Not even salute you. I hate finger guns. A Hoyish thumbs up? No. Okay, I'll give you a quick nod of acknowledgement.

Naming three Big Country songs is easy for me, since I loved the Steeltown album back in the day.
Flame of the West
Just a Shadow
Raindance
Inwards from the first lp is a great song. too.
Also, House of the Devil is a cool movie. We saw it as sneek preview. The scene with the main character's friend
in the car, asking for directions was shocking.
Agreed. My high school chem teacher took me outside once and played In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the b-pipes for me.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I hope that wasn't a euphemism for him touching you in a not-okay way.
Sure enough, the drum solo went on for eight minutes.

I was so psyched for that movie, I already crowned it "greatest film in history" before I saw it. I was very disappointed. It was way too slow paced, though I did like that they did the Break-Up Song by Greg Kihn Band. When it picked up at the end, I was already angry at the film. It was OK, but I ruined it by setting my sights too high.
Anyway, director Ti West is an up and comer in the horror business. He writes, directs and edits his films, I wish they wouldn't let him edit, because it hurts HOTD and The Roost. The film where he didn't have complete control was Cabin Fever 2, and he disowned it. It is by far his best film.

I remember I took a caravan holiday in Scotland about ten years ago and some half-pissed Jock would wake the whole site up with his wretched skirling every morning. I tried to steal them but he'd chained them to his caravan wheel with a bicycle lock. Nothing a pair of scissors didn't sort out.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I did not understand one word of that. Does anyone have a Geordie/English dictionary?

Heston became a gypsy and went to Scotland where an angry or drunk athlete woke people up by doing something wretched.
