Bands With Things To Say

The View, who have been very much silent for the past year, have posted a new blog about some sort of gig [I think, but I didn't really read it properly] at Myspace.com/dryburgh.

These are Foals' pluses and minuses on their UK tour, the Manchester date of which is reviewed at Myspace.com/youvedonethiswrong.

ThankYOU to everyone who came to the shows on our UK tour.
we had an amazing time, we feel happy and cleansed by it. we are home now, missing the new friends we made and the BUZZZZ of playing but happy to have a rest.
gonna start writing some loops tonight.
i just watched Burn After Reading..i wouldn't bother. it felt like a film that was about itself.
know what i mean?

:+ Brixton academy.

- Jimmy vomiting in the first 5 minutes of being on stage & the "afterparty" which we got fined for.
bummer

+ recording shopping in Aberdeen. loads of old vinyl.

- thinking we were getting heckled at Leeds Academy...

+ only to realise the shouts were really of "Yorkshire". you can figure out what we were thinking...

- this being a precise example of how deaf we've become tsh

+ getting to watch Holy Fuck, Dananananaykroyd, Wild Beasts and Maps & Atlases every night.

- seeing vampires. sometimes.
as well

+ rediscovering Mellon Collie by Smashing Pumpkins

- indian summer flu in Newcastle.

+ getting to handpaint our Holy Fuck split 12" everyday. like a rock n' roll after school club. felt tip pens and everything.

- trying to tell people about TECATO GUSTO to no avail. a hispanic explanation of addiction . it can be expressed as an "interior psychic worm"... ravenous, cannibalistic munching through yr mind always requiring more.
anyone home? anyone got it? i do

+ Zane Lowe penalty shoot out.

- that being the most exercise anyone has got for months.
surprisingly being massive jocks we lost

+ new ideas gathering like hundreds and thousands.

- bad dreams.

+ autumn leafy

anyway hope everyone is swell
see you all on the other side of "The Crunch".
love
The Prince of Darkness
