Does anyone have any info on the new Stone Roses offering, Garage Flower? It has a '96 copyright and all of the songs are written/co-written by John Squire. Is this a "boot?" Was this recorded before John left the band? I haven't seen any reviews in the music papers, so I'm kinda curious. Jeff BTW - As an afterthought, it kinda sucks - nowhere near the genius of Second Coming - but I'm still wondering what this is all about. All help appreciated. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

I've got one -- it certainly isn't bad but don't expect anything approaching the pop magic of the _Stone Roses_ LP.

Dead Moon? Sorry, I never got what the attraction of this band. I mean, Andrew and Fred and Toody (sp.?) are super nice people and all, but the music leaves me flat dead. Had you seen another PDX original, the Wipers in their ORIGINAL lineup, you'd've seen all you ever needed to see, musically. I know. I was there, so to speak. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

I don't know if it's because the whole "reunion" thing just ain't workin' for them, or if they just didn't do it for me in general. It is, however, grandly wonderful (ok, so grandly isn't a real word) all of the awesome bands that are popping up around P-town. A friend of mine from Toronto commented on what cool names all of them have too.... oh yeah...shameless self promotion: there is a mailing list I run specifically devoted to Portland music, mail me if anyone is interested. - -kali kali@europa.com ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.
