OFF: Bedouin dates

[sprawl]

So I guess Alan has written off the states, or he isn't doing well enough
financially to swing it.

Well, having recently seen a vid, I hope if I get the chance to see him
again, he will have realized that he
NEEDS a vocalist, or needs to eliminate vocals.  And that he NEEDS to get
rid of that phase shifter or flange or whatever he uses to cover up the
music with that empty conch-shell noise.  Oh, and a drummer
with an imagination would be cool too.

Just my opinion.  It was a single vid, so I am hoping that it wasn't
exemplary of what he is doing these days.

Don't get me wrong, I am definitely PRO Alan.
