Am just grabbing another quick break while I wait for my PC to do something...it's getting the video of me and dan performing 'A Life Half Lived' sorted so that it can be put up on the Friends In Name Only site. We know that we're gonna be busy over the next few weeks so we're trying to cram as much in now as we can. If you have the CD please go and check out the acoustic video (well, when my computer is done with it) and go tell Kev he is a star for making it at such short notice and that you heart him.

I don't want to sound like a stuck record, but I do wanna say thank you to everyone that came to our home-town show last night. We do appreciate you coming out and hanging out. Hello to all the new people I met, you were awesome - and all the people I already knew were pretty damned cool too...but you already knew that.

I got the new Panic! At The Disco album the other day - it's very cool. I only really found out about them because of the label they are on, but hey, isn't that what record labels are for sometimes? Go check it out if you haven't heard them....although i really recommend finding copies of the demo versions that were around on the net - they really changed some of the songs and it's only really put into perspective when you hear both versions.

I spent ages yesterday reading this. When he is talking about pre-gig tension it really felt familiar - I know we don't do anything on a millionth of the scale that the Foo Fighters do it, but if you chat to us before a show, we are not 100% the same people that walk off afterwards. Likewise, the three boys that walk off the stage after a bad gig are not the same three boys you'd meet if they'd just torn the house down. Recently, I don't seem to be able to be the boy that anyone is looking for...but it's ok - coz nobody else seems to be shaping up either.

The weather here has turned colder than I thought it could and I hate it. I want to feel like it will never get cold again...any ideas? ok, the computer is making noises at me, time to go again...
