well i just spent 924.90 for my flight to japan
non-refundable
late july to early august
hot-humid season
i do not speak any japanese
nor will i try to learn any before going
this trip will be fueled by a weak american dollar
gallons of beer and sake
my inner nonchalance
and a dirty ass red sox hat
if you guys want anything let me know
if anyone has a camera i can take with me
to make a short film
i wish i had more time there
i wish i had more money
i'd totally get tattooed by shige
www.yellowblaze.net
his work is fucking outstanding
until then
lots of working
lots of scrimping and saving
gotta stop smoking cigs
get back into shape
kisses

i love the new album so much, i got to see them last night and though i'm sick and i was tired and it was a sunday i can't remember a better show maybe in my life.

i found a youtube of parallel lines from the new disc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpmmBRbuN_I

i thought the live drummer really brought it to some next level. oh and max tundra opened, i remember our dan didn't like him from the sxsw thread but i thought he ruled too, though i already liked the songs i knew. maybe he was better this time, he was kind of a perfect opener because he was dancing so much and then i guess he was flying back to england or WHATEVER today and he couldn't fit this big yamaha keyboard so he announced he'd give it away to the best dancer and he then he did! but anyways he really like "warmed" the room up i guess and i liked that because he wasn't from canada he didn't have this idea of ottawa sucks in his head so that when everyone was standing around kind of all spaced apart it wasn't like, here we go again this city sucks so much see?, he was just like why are you all so static let's move a bit and kept playing to try to make it happen. i kind of gained an appreciation i think for the way this city doesn't show respect really to people that don't show respect for it, illustrated i guess inversely by this little man from the UK who asked politely for some participation and then got it. an attitude i wish cokey jam bands from toronto taking an hour to set up for playing second on a four band bill would consider taking on.
i could have won the keyboard if it wasn't 8:30 pm on a sunday after mother's day festivities, i'd had like no time to drink.
this was teh last north american date on the tour but shit dudes buy that album, it's called "begone dull care."

how's everyone?
