so we drove from tampa to atl on the day off and what was a 6 hour drive felt like 15...took forever and was so draining. We made it to atl and to my friend luke's place. Hung out with him and his dog and just rested since we knew we had a GA show the next day that would exhaust us. Day of show we get to venue and are asked to wait at this gate way outside the venue and that if you have a public transportation pass (marta) you get in an hour early. So i had to go drive to get the pass at the bus station, luckily it was close by. Waiting all day was not that bad since the weather was pretty nice and cool...it wasn't until later that it rained and was cold.We had a pretty good time waiting in line, met lotts of nice people including some of the hardcore fans. When it was time to get inside we walked calmly and then we were all put into lines at the gate. We could hear all of soundcheck, which had probably just started around 4:30. They soundchecked maybe 10 songs including talk show host which they hadn't played in some time. Once we were allowed into the venue it was mass hysteria. No one knew where to go or where to run to. The security was just unprepared for us and had no idea where we needed to be. All the while, the band is still soundchecking. Eventually wrist bands were given out and in we went, still with lotts of confusion. We made it front and center and the show was so great. It felt like the band had way more energy that the previous nights in florida, almost like they needed to have this close proximity to the fans in order to really rock out. There were some problems with the LED screens right when it was time for them to start...not sure how they fixed it but the screens seemed to work fine the rest of the night. After the show i saw some good friends, one of whom flew out for this show. She was not disappointed! See you in charlotte!-m

Today I come back from Paris.I was in Zenith for the first day of the Portishead show.It was fantastic, great.... I waited too long but the wait is good when the show is so extraordinary.I saw them for the first time, some friends had already seen Beth Gibbons alone, but not me.I appreciated all the songs old and new, Her voice, their rythmes : they are so good.So now, I wait Radiohead impatiently.

Aire recluido en los pulmones...pienso,tirada en mi cama,lo dejo salirun suspiro magnánimo se escurre por tu pelo...solo las estelas de nuestro miedo se escurren por el piso.Ya se hace tarde...y el sol nos atormenta con su sano juicio de valor.La sangre a veces no se coagula a tiempoY el sol.Ahì.Enorme.Esperando...que ya no se termine el silencio.Entendiendo.Sòlo volver...y determinar...Si tan solo tuviera un momento de verdad...

I've recently discovered that my wife has been promoted and we're being relocated to another city. So even though it's just 2 days away from the show in Charlotte, and I haven't had much time to think about it or really get excited. I had planned to do more with this page, add some blog posts, etc. But as it stands - well, I recorded the From The Basement show on VH1 the other night and I still haven't even watched it.The show, and the mini vacation of the weekend, will be a welcome break.

there is so much to be said for the two shows in florida...but i have like 2 min before we start our drive up to atlanta...the first show of the tour was incredible...i have second row center seats and i was just in it and blown away...the band seemed really on edge and nervous, which is what i expected from a first show...but that vulnerability made the show that much stronger...how to dissapear is one of my favorite songs of theirs, so it was only right they play it on the first night of the tour. we got to tampa early and got to hear soundcheck...they played all i need 4 times...which i guess paid off because it sounded so perfect...tampa show was insane...so many people...they changed 5 songs from the night before and played the bends, which is one of my favorites from that record...it was great to see old friends and friends i have met at the shows...we also helped out a man that works for TBD records when his car wouldn't start...he told us some awesome news...the band has been praciticing a brand new song before soundcheck for the last two shows, and it should be ready by texas or maybe the august shows...and that they will play it then hopefully...god i can not wait! ok we gotta go hit the road....see you there!m

Today's the worst day I've had this month.I burst into tears just sitting on the philosophy seminar. I was sitting near the window, it is sunny and warm outside... I've understood that I awfully want to go home, but no one really is looking forward to seeing me there.No one.My father don't even phone me. I can't call him myself. he has his own family (though they're not registered), hates his new "wife" and takes care of his little son. I don't think he needs me there. I'd like to phone him and ask about my going home, but the battery on my phone is out of energy, and electricity is unfortunately off.moreover, the teacher on philosophy fucked me up. I'd love to fuck her off, but again...I was reporting about Arthur Schopenhauer. I think, I was telling the info quite logically nad understandable. at least, i'm not guilty to what his opinion was. that he talks first about one thing, then about something opposite to that one, then about something opposite to the 1st opposite... yeah, he was an outstanding phlosopher, not academical. and, well, I speak very fast.but I walk fast,make decisions fast,fall in love fast,think fast,hit fast,leave fast,make troubles fast,burn fast...I'm not in a hurry, that's my nature!she made me speak slower. it's difficult. not only because I got used to, but just because I can't. simply. I start to lose the chain of thoughts, utterances. all the listeners understood me fine. they told her about this fact, but... if you're a teacher and think that a student makes something wrong, why not just help him/her? why not use theacher's knowledge to show the way out?where is tolerance, peace, love and understanding?????well, I'll never be like the others.I'LL NEVER BE LIKE THE OTHERS.I do as I do.I speak as I do.I love as I do.I understand as I do.i explain as I do.I feel as I do.it's too late to change myself. doesn't matter how desperate and teenage does it sound.may be, i'm really stupid and weird.LET ME BE!LET ME BE WEIRDO!!!

reposted from RDIIi'm at work.3-hours of sleep.....its a good thing i bought a couple of 5-hour energy shots for today!I finally met Mr. Atease, Anne, Melissa and The ONZE!!!soooo..MUCH to my surprise i was 2nd row RIGHT IN FRONT OF ED!!!! And you know the best thing about it?? Nobody sat in the seat in front of me !!!so I had a nice unobstructed view of Mr. O' Brien.Ed: He didn't give me any flirty looks though....apparently i need to where a skimpy dress But HE WAS HOTTTTT. A tiny bit of belly! (and white waistband underwear)Thom: White jacket, blue t-shirt, jeans...kinda scruffy but he looked great!Jonny: Same red pointed hand shirt as DAS, jeans...GREY UNDERWEAR !!! JONNY PULL YO PANTS UP!!!Colin: White shirt with animal design...he's so small and cute IRL!Phil: Purple shirt and black (?) tiesorry about the shitty cell pics, i forgot batteries to my camera! But that was good in a way, because I was more absorbed in the experienceThe people around me were great! no douchebags!The setlist posted here is pretty much correct! they restarted the end to weird fishes because of a fuckup. I saw that ed was having trouble with his guitar in the beggining of that one. I think it was street spirit that thom fucked up the words.So Thom is like (paraphrased):"We were in miami beach a couple of days ago....weird place...makes me proud to be white, pale and English!"I hope he doesn't get in trouble for that!A dude in a wheelchair sat next to me towards the end of the show....and Ed pointed at him and gave a thumbs up. turns out the dude had a Manchester United jersey on. So i was like that's so cool Ed acknowledged you! and he's like:"I'm a heterosexual man, but i'm questioning my sexuality now!"I was like "I KNOW I love him TOO"!!!*sigh*so for everyones financial planning, I'll give you a rundown on the merch:Shirts: Black with Bodysnatchers lyrics......$40Sigg Waterbottles: Blue kinda like the DAS photo (probably smaller though)....$25Limited Edition In Rainbows "splatter" poster...$20 (i think)They had old merch for sale also but i was too busy walking/talking to catch the prices.setlist01 All I Need02 bodysnatchers03 there there04 reckoner05 the gloaming06 morning bell07 nude08 how to disappear completely09 15 step10 arpeggi (played almost twice)11 idioteque12 bulletproof13 where I end and you begin14 airbag15 everything in its right place16 the national anthem17 videotapeencore18 optimistic19 just20 Faust Arp (thom & jonny)21 exit music22 bangers and mashthom; we spent three days at miami beach. fucking hell. what’s going on there? some kind of reconstruction! for once I was proud to white pale and english.encore 223 house of cards24 street spirit
