well,we are a quarter of the year through,the arl camera obscura radar is fine tuned but only pickin up periodic signals of any band activity(i am a fan of shack,i am used to this)i was listenin to the eugene show on the way to work,and coachella...and thinkin about grease,cos of the eugene thing(its on of my favs and i was mad for rizzo) anyways,listenin to the audience response at coachella,sounds like they went down a storm....i`m sure they can still get another year outta last years set,winning new fans the ultimate goal...for folks like us,weve seen them play these songs quite a few times...and personally heard them god knows how many times,but they still give me the same joy otherwise i`d flick the switch....puttin seats on arses is what its about for the main part,theyve gotta pay bills like us......i`m sure 4AD will be pesterin soon enough for summit new,payback,i worry about the pressure on the scottish sweetheart...and remember the comment often by nik harcourt.....but for someone who thinks that they`ll "never be happy,maybe for a spell"...reading the short interview yesterdee,tracyanne seems to be in a good place(i know you can never know with anyone)...i wonder if a short trip to europe is in order,a mini tour...or wether they are ready to brave the states again(sooner them than i)but its there job not mine(a week or two in the states for a visit would be great)....maybe a bit of house huntin in austin texas,hahahaha..it might be time to settle down...........
