The rock stars who went back work thread makes me wonder about this lot & how they fund their child rearing. Even though it's none of my business.

Finding a pound doesn't count for much these days.

The Sundays are my go to for smiths-like music when i'm in a smiths-like mood but really don't want to hear morrissey (which as of the last year or so is all of the time, forever)

^ That's rather good. Can't say I've ever yearned to meet any musician. But can understand how something like RW&A could inspire such a thing.

Gawd this article is the embodiment of “tl;dr”... I can’t even skim it effectively.

tl;dr for ya: big obsessive buildup and then he didn't meet them.

It's the story of an adult learning about boundaries (ie, figuring out, thankfully in time, that showing up unannounced on your heroes' doorstep when they clearly value their privacy and have explicitly said as much to you through a proxy is an unambiguously bad idea).

Seemed like a string of clichés and truisms threaded around a fairly creepy premise - "they've demonstrated they have no interest in publicity or interviews, but if they only met me they'd change their minds, and I won't take no for an answer! Oh I guess they have a right to privacy after all, we've all learned something and let me explain it to you." Yeesh.

And yet, people moaning because he didn't 'deliver'

wow this guy is the absolute worst

boxedjoy, Thursday, 1 August 2019 07:24 (five years ago) link

this isn't even about the band, this is an awful guy's attempt to make himself the centre of a story that nobody else wanted to be told

I mean, would I have been thrilled if they consented to an interview? Absolutely. If it turned out that their 'consent' was the result of someone jimmying the lock on their back door at 3 AM and sitting at the foot of their bed until they finally relented? Not so much. Not so much.

hey, he’s no Abraham Reisman

Well, something I did not expect

BIG MUSIC NEWS: I have a new band with Patrick Hannan of The SUNDAYS! An absolute dream come true. We are called The Wild Fell. More music (and shows) soon, but for now stream (or download) our first song "The Ghost You Love" now!

new song! really lovely, unsurprisingly - came upon it by chance in searching for their music to play. been so long. really great to know they're still going at it. "life goes on"

was also excited to see this, but alas, it's a b-side from 1997: https://www.discogs.com/release/787085-The-Sundays-Cry

still great to see it show up. maybe some other archive stuff is forthcoming? they certainly could use a b-sides+rarities comp!
