Dreaming of the Osaka sun

First, I want to thank everyone who came out to the show last night! I was having a great time, we all were, and I hope you were too. And congratulations to The Lights Out for their CD release. If you weren't there last night to pick up a free copy of their EP ¡Heist!, then you can download it for free directly from their website: http://www.thelightsoutband.com. Thanks again goes to Brian McGee & the Hollow Speed from North Carolina and our buddies from Buffalo Johnny Nobody (who are currently on tour... East End Cafe in Newark, Delaware tonight, kids... be there).

Spent today moving out of our rehearsal space. There's nothing that will remind you how heavy a Rhodes keyboard is like trying to lug that down two sets of stairs. I swear, by the time I'm 35 I'll probably be popping the ibuprofen like nobody's business.

We got all that done with Hugh "1 kudos" Wyman's assistance, who we later went with to get some Mexican food (we were in the mood for burgers, but you know how that goes... "How about Mexican?" "Yea, okay, that sounds like a better idea!"). There's this place out in Somerville/Medford called Rudy's Cafe, which was brilliant— Jen observed that all the patrons and staff were full-fledged Irish (Irish who knew how to make excellent Mexican food). Half the drink menu is dedicated to tequila, too, which isn't my thing, but it might be yours. Tequila makes me cry. Mostly from my mouth.

By the time we got back home, I was knackered and decided to take a nap. It's 1:15am right now, so you can assume it was an awesome nap. I'll probably be up for a few hours now... crap.

I've been listening to the new Coldplay album awhile, and now that the initial period of listening is over, I have to say this is a really good album (sorry Shemp!). They should have put this out in '05 instead of X&Y. It's just better. They pretty much throw all the Verse-Chorus-Verse-Wave Flag in Arena Here-Chorus and any and all sons of Clocks out the window. Yes is a particularly good song (posted below, excuse the mono sound and AWESOME video effects... it's YouTube). In fact, I think what I like about this is that the casual Coldplay fan will hate it.

Okay, off to Movie Editing Land... that is, if my PC doesn't explode. I should probably delete some shit off the computer.

Cheers,
Henry



P.S. Still hate MySpace. Seriously, how can a site this big and used by so many be fraught with so many dumb errors? (Fucking News Corp, that's why.)
