First the technicalities. My new soundcard is being badly behaved and it’s annoying the crap out of me. I’m on the phone to the people who make it tomorrow, probably to be told that there’s one tiny button that I haven’t pushed that they forget to mention in the manual that will make everything better. God I hope so. I’ve got a bottleneck!
Second the mundanities. I went out today first to the laundrette and then to the music shop Manny’s up on 48th Street to pick up a cable. Don’t ask for a lead. They don’t know what that is. Then I went to a drugstore looking for a mosquito killing device as I’m getting munched again by the big brother of the fella I killed in a previous post down there. Then I bought some food at the deli (New York deli’s are a fantastic invention) and came back and ate it. Shortly, I will have a shower and then I will go to the laundry again to pick up some nice clean sheets. See how my life has changed?
Thirdly the good stuff. The Thrills tonight at the Irving Plaza which should be ace and the support, The Zutons get a good write up too. I saw the advert for Perfectil below on the subway which I thought the lady readers in Europe may appreciate. I am really looking forward to Monday a lot. Oh yes.
Hi John,
Can you please stop going to see all those bands soooo…. frequently…!!!!!! You are in bloody New York can you telll me what crazy people you have met. Most of the great music you can get on cd or even better on the net and you should only spend your precious time by seeing the reallllllllllyyyyy special bands that make the little hair you have stand up against the gravity. I wanna seee some passion and excitment in those words you write not just calm relaxation. THAT’S FINE TOO BUT YOU HAVE TO KICK SOME ASS BOY! shake up and tell me the exciting stuff! And if there is nothing exciting hapenning then you go out there and make it exciting!!!! OK? I don’t want to see you in a few months in london for your coment on New York to be: “I just relaxed” with a shrug of shoulders!!!! Ok? Now go!
