i know nothing about the place--but ob p.i.ls promo vid for the single"seattle" the place was portrayed as dull,lifeless in any picturesk way,lots of dull buildings along side even duller highs/freeways,looked like an awful place to have to live in ;(

id say that anyone subjected to having to tolerate that place,would need more than --happy pills- maybe bottle of jack daniels as well-per day ;d)))!!!!> Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:02:17 +1300> From: bq at soundgardener.co.nz> To: gathering at misera.net> Subject: Re: [kj] OT: HAPPY pil> > I always thought they were taking the piss out of seattle, which may have> been fair enough, I dunno much about the place except it seems to have> punched above its weight in terms of producing great music, ever since> Jimi onwards through Green River, Melvins, Soundgarden, Nirvana etc (even> like a couple of Heart tracks :).
