BSP are playing gigs again. But this time its in the new age of Twitter. Here's what people are saying:

Saw British Sea Power last night, they were great though am a bit deaf in my right ear today!

(from Sam Elliot, London Councils Labour Group political adviser.) What better way to end an irritating day than seeing The Best Band In The World What Doesn't Have Bruce Springsteen In It. / TBBITWWDHBSII is obviously British Sea Power. Come from the sunset, come from the sea, come from your sorrows, come wander with me.

As a rule, British Sea Power fans seem to have very long arms.

Is it a bit weird how a troupe as handsome and romantic as British Sea Power only seem to attract lots of chaps in specs?

British Sea Power were awesome as ever. Very excited we're getting a new album soonish

British Sea Power kicked some major London ass!

(simon price) Brighton's ruined West Pier lit up by lasers tonight, then an 'intimate' British Sea Power gig at Audio. Excitement!

What's interesting about them is the extent to which the media now harvest tweets in the same way as I have just done in order to fill space (broadcast time or print) with vox pops collected without the necessity of actually going out onto the streets to collect them. I think that's a big change.

In the context of this forum, I think it may be mildly interesting to recycle tweets here, if only to bring a fresh voice from beyond these blue borders.

"British Sea Power kicked some major London ass"

I don't need to see that. I don't need to see that kind of thing at all. Who wrote it? Billy Joel?
What goes through the mind of someone just before they write something like that?
It's certainly not refreshing to read that, it's un-freshing, depressing and, no messing, supressing.
But i'm digressin'..

Today's pick of the crop:

British Sea Power for the first time... will I like them? I better do, otherwise I have to divorce!

BRITISH SEA POWER twice in a week ftw.

Start waving flags at #newslang tonight. British Sea Power's gonna be a big 'un

British Sea Power makes me want to build a large wooden ship and declare war on another genre.

British sea power were brilliant as ever. New songs sounded really interesting - excited about new album. 9th gig now - too many? Nah!

British Sea Power were ridiculously good yesterday at the Hippodrome In Kingstone.Lucky Australia will have them next http://bit.ly/d6PucZ

great live show from british sea power. Not sure how 'new slang' it was but that in itself makes it new slang. Easy Easy Easy

British sea power. Zeus. Immense. Best version of louis I've experienced.

The countryside IS rock music... British Sea Power are a highly acclaimed band"inspired by the countryside". Read... http://bit.ly/b18UTf

I predict that the next single released by British Sea Power will be "Zeus"

Speaking of which (that is, British Sea Power), who text me the other day to ask if I was going to the London gig? I dropped my phone down the loo and lost all of my numbers x

Hear hear - thus speaks the voice of sanity.
Bebo,MySpace-between-my-fucking-ears,Twatter and Faecesbook are the work of the devil.
I have no burning desire to know what cereal Katie Price is having for fucking breakfast,less than no interest in who Stephen Fry shagged last night and never want to hear from Robbie Fucking Williams ever,unless he is posting to say that he is being tortured to death,in which case I want a webcam installed immediately in order that I can best advise his captors.
