Did think of doing Dallas Palladium but I've just checked my diary and I've got that night down as 'painting my toenails'. Gutted.

Busy trimming my pubes October 7th.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

All this talk of how the recorded music sales industry is dead, touring is now where the money is... and here we have a tour that only contains 7 shows which is double what Mac's "tour" was supposed to be. I don't get it.

Touring is where the money is? I'll go out on the road tomorrow if that's the case.

There are some prerequisites. You could be a band whore or something perhaps.

I'd need shots and antibiotics for that. Maybe I could be in charge of catering? I make a mean roasted chicken.

That is really good. Thanks!

Seems like the two new guys (Bad Lt?) maybe breathed a little life?

Best they have sounded in a long time. And nice variations - nice to hear 586.

And the new bass player - definitely added his own thing to the bass - as much as one can without becoming Jaco Pastorious.

I'm really surprised.

I like how Sumner breaks the laws of auditory physics - he can't sing in key and is still a terrible guitar player - yet he is great to listen to.

Dancing is another thing. Think anyone told him to back off the moves?

Saw them twice in March this year,at a festival headlining a stage in the rain and then a few days later in their own show which was great close on a 2 hour show with Barnie dancing and whistling from the 1 song in.Well worth the entertainment and the sound mix was great

Saw them here in June and they were great. Barnie was nearly friendly :eek:
Don't know why they got Gillian wotsit back, though. She looks even more bored now than she did back in the dark ages.
Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.
