On my quest I would stop at the mcdonalds and speak on the talkboard at night when it was more dangerous to travel.I sometimes have difficulty seeing in darkness and am not like a dog which can and does bite me,or wolfkind ,or even of the cat breed.They all see very well at night and I do not.I see a little better than human, but In the woods that is not good enough to be safe when you are wee and travel through woodlands.So at night the nice ladies of the talkboard would speak with me.They were brave as even the males among them ignored me in fear.Only a few males were brave early on. Now they are being braver and are also nice.They did speak to me and listen to my tale of woe.They were understanding even though it was their human leader Thom Yorkie that did wrong me.I asked most if they perchance be a shy female leprechaun but though most had qualities .(stayed indoors,were short, liked rainbows, liked to sing as they walked) they were not fully leprechaun kind. One was a gnome lady named Allyson, one was a witch named Glenda, there was a friend of harry potters named N.tonky, there be a fairy girl named Emily, There also be two fish ladies i met recently named Solitaryrose and Sirenesea. There was also other nice ones such as Dreamsie and of course Palmer who seems interested in my tales and ways. Also I will mention thanks to the Dizzy girl , K D em, 3 and the one known as strack.Most already be friends here in my fellowship of those friendly to leprechauns.If you be wise you should meet these ladies on the board as they are good friends to me.Thry have not the fear of talking to one who may be crazy or new. Many nights of waiting for the sun has been joyful because of these and others who I may have forgotten. I thank ye ladies of the board for being brave and speaking to one such as I.-Corny

Regarding the Toronto date (Aug 15, 2008), the tickets were all sold out when they officially went on sale. At least three scalper sites had tix for this event up a week before the tickets were put up for sale. Very disappointing.

Well, we were really looking forward to seeing Elbow and after a few pre - gig beers in Zerodegrees, then a very good bottled beer in the bar at Colston Hall we went in to see the support band 'Two Gallants' who were well worth listening to, (a kind of 'White Stripes' comparison could be made here) and managed to be near the front for when Elbow came on.I loved the new songs from 'The Seldom Seen Kid'. 'Starlings' was a brilliant start to the evening.The band were relaxed and looked to be really having fun with it. They played 'Grounds For Divorce' with it's rocky feel' 'The Bones of you', 'Mirrorball' and 'Fugative Motel', one of my favourites, amongst others; all fantastic and I loved the audience participation invited for 'On A Day Like This' and for the last song of the evening 'Grace Under Pressure'; an old favourite from 'Cast of Thousands'. More singing along only much louder. I was pleased to notice the wide age range of fans joining in enthusiastically.Guy Garvey was as ever in fine voice and really chatty throughout the evening and interacted with the crowd, many of whom are loyal fans. Anyone who follows his radio show on BBC 6 music will be familiar with his warm sense of humour, which he could be more free with without the constraints of broadcasting protocol. Loved your joke Guy, but I can't repeat it here.Although Elbow are noted for the melancholy feel of their music, you will always leave their gigs with a warm feeling and it's good to know that Guy and the band are back on the road again.

I'm giving up partying![until the summer]Yesterday, at a deserted, tiny and shitty gasibo at a big and shitty party I lost my phone when walking a very short distance (from the attic to the front door, it's one sets of stairs and finito!). One moment it was in my pocket and the next moment "Poof!". There I was in the middle of nowhere with no phone, drunk with drunk friends and no phone, my only salvation. Every single social event I've been to lately has somehow fucked up and this was the last straw. I'm giving up my social life until after exams.There are three things I hate when going out and will make me very cranky if they do:*losing stuff*losing my friends*not getting homeI didn't really lose my friends yesterday but I did miss the drinking of quite a nice looking red wine bottle they had in the trunk of Hulk, a very green car. I hate not knowing how to get home, or even knowing if I'm getting home at all, especially when there's work the day after.It's amazing how much you're depended on your phone. I feel crippled now and it doesn't help that I'm hung over and ill... and unable to call work sick because I don't have the phone number.I don't think I've ever cursed as much as yesterday.The only positive thing I can say about yesterday night was: "I was wearing tap dance shoes" :|

So, will let you know more 'bout me...since 5 years, I'm hosting and producing the show London Cafe on the Montreal airwaves at CISM 89.3 FM (that's a really great station you should listen to as it's available through the net at www.cism893.ca). I already interviewed a couple of bands for this show and hope one day I'll meet Radiohead (though they're so big over here, so it will be difficult I think so, but there's still hope..) Last week, my co-host brought me a ''country'' version of Radiohead songs, in fact 'twas a medley and it was so funny.Going to see Radiohead this summer, will be the greatest bday gift I will ever have

Salt of the earth.We saw him at a couple shows this year, it's funny cause he wasn't on the list both of the times that we saw him. Like he'd play this really short, melancholy set in between the bigger acts. He'd come on, looking like cigarettes and liquor, as if his face was carved in granite, and sing songs that are pretty much about the same."Vice Rag"Sweet, sweet cocaineWon't you be all mineHeart'll pound, my hands will shakeI'm doin' mighty fineSweet, sweet heroinWon't you be all mineI don't wanna feel a thingWant nothin' on my mindSweet, sweet whiskeyWon't you be all mineIf you were to fill the oceanI would drink it drySweet, sweet devilWon't you be all mineSet this tired land aflameIt ain't worth a dimeSweet, sweet JesusWon't you be all mineIf you take my sinner's handWe'll walk down the lineI doubt you read the whole thing, but its a sweet track. When he'd hum the melody during the bridge his entire face would vibrate with this uninhibited honesty. Its just so tender, maybe I'm just too down right now so I really appreciate that little soul sad musical whatever, but its "working" on me. I mean give "Theres a Reason" a listen, a lot say it sounds like Ryan Adams, I wouldn't know, its real slow and "throws" the word love around, but honestly I don't give a shit, I mean we're all influenced by Neil Young.I suppose its a way to stray away from the supposedly pretentious direction music has taken, I sometimes love that direction, but people like Bondy just don't need it."Rapture (Sweet Rapture)"I don't want to talk about Jesus, I just wanna see his face.Really you can interpret that in so many ways, sure its taken out of the lyrical context with the rest of the song, but not many people take the entire song into consideration, not until you've heard a song thirty or so times and all the pieces fall together (or maybe I'm a little dumb). I just see it as he doesn't care who the almighty benevolent force is behind the workings of the universe, he just wants to be enlightened. This kind of natural curiosity thats almost child like. Ion't know, its just nice innit?Really thats what I get from him, these simply arranged love/god/drug songs that are devoid of pretension. It's almost like he was born in the wrong decade, I mean I wanna smoke and drink with him on his front porch!Its funny, I remember the second time we saw him, he was behind the stage lighting up a cigarette, we were up in the front row waiting for some band or another, I yelled out "BONDY", he looked up and gave this huge, genuine smile, maybe a thumbs up, I don't remember too much detail really, just thats he's just a really fucking swell guy.Edit: Was just informed of his past band, where he had dyed his hair and was rocking out, so it may very well be a facade I've fallen for, but I don't know really. I'll stick with my story for now, his music is good enough.

So now I am a member of yet another internet group site. I have no idea what to do on here or how this is different from other sites. I'm going to delve in head first (as usual) and give it a go. I'll keep you posted on how I manage.

Last week spanned a day that changed the course of how things go in my life at the moment. My brother bought me an electric guitar as a bonus for work. That night I played it and played it for hours, still of course not knowing how to play it properly but still fun none the less.Well its grown from that to full on epic ballads of all things that pop into my head at any given moment, as well as for my friend (how_ironic). She does the same thing, although she actually managed to find the notes to play no surprises, we almost cried it was so glorious.But anyway, so I'm at work, and I bring my guitar to the office almost everyday, I have because amp here and don't at home because its a co-work ers, and finally yesterday and today I didn't bring Betty (She's jet black so i named her after the song Black Betty), and what happens. My buddy (once again that would be how_ironic) called me and asked me to pick her up one at the pawn shop, so the first thing everyone at the office sees as there coming in is me running out to buy another guitar. So now they all think I'm addicted to buying guitars. Whoops.
