Yo!!!!!!!!!

19th September 2007

Well hello to whoever may be reading this. Had a grand last couple of weeks. End Of The Road was as spectacular as any festival could hope to be. I won’t say who I thought rocked, as that would entail me typing up the entire line-up, but hey, fuck it – Actress Hands were glorious as usual, Yo La Tengo blew my face off, King Creosote was a pleasant surprise, Scout Niblett has an ace new set-up on the go and some cracking new songs to go with it, Joan As Police-woman was new to me and also good, and last but not least Lambchop finished the whole thing off as lush as would be expected. (note to Reading and Carling and Shit Festival ‘N’ Shit: sack yr Nazi security – they neither succeeded in making the place any safer, or ensuring folk in bands could get where they needed to – an absolute disgrace. No. They should take a fucking leaf out of EOTR’s book and in the future employ a security agency who have more than one brain cell between them. Fucking Amen to that.)

Anyway, Truck next weekend – the redux. My fingers and toes and hairs are all crossed for them. Should be a verrry good ‘un.

On the ESP front, we are in the process of booking a short tour for the end of November to round up the UK leg of the NN2BD World Tour. It’s gonna be about a week long and will entail a recital of No Need To Be Downhearted in it’s entirety at each show, with complete visual (projected) accompaniment. I know I’ve been promising this for eons, but I’m over the moon to say that the whole project is nearly there, and will definitely be happening at all of the shows on that tour, and hopefully some of the European dates too. More news on that when it comes.

Look after yrselves. Hopefully see you all at six in the morning on sunday, kissing cows in the camping field.

...and I’m out…
