Aftersun. The Director. Cosmic Wimpout.
When we play live I use ultimate ears. I’m more of a monitor person. If the song was good, I wouldn’t care if it was on a wind up gramophone or coming out of an iPhone speaker. For prolonged listening I have, since Christmas, been using the Teenage Engineering OB-4 Magic Radio. I use Apple Music as my player. I do wish live music sounded better than it currently does. There is a company called Flare Audio out of the UK who make headphones which, when I use them, uncover things I have never heard before. I prefer older recordings as there is a lot more live playing. I love the thought that behind the speaker and down a 70 year long wire there is Chick Berry or Nina Simone or whoever, playing live and alive. That we figured out how to record sound and how much enjoyment this has brought the world always fills me with awe. And it’s invisible!
There is a Navy bean salad which they give you on the side when you sit down at Supper in New York which I make my own version of. Very simple. Navy beans, red chilis, garlic fried in olive oil, parsley chopped.
Earl Grey tea. No milk. No sug. There is a perfect temperature window around 7-10 minutes after the pour.
Jason Falkner plays on that too.
Hey Gladsadmad. Welcome back!
No connection other than them both mentioning windows

That’s a milestone. So many cool memories from the making of this album. Staying in LA for ages. I have a distinct memory of us all driving down Hollywood Blvd singing “Holywood da da da da da da da Hollywood!” and “Tgeres no business like show business” at the top of our lungs. Salad days.
川口さん、それらをチェックしてみますね。うつは辛いものですよね。私自身も苦しんだ経験があります。音楽を聴いたり、5kmほど走ったりすることが、私にはとても助けになっています。掲示板へようこそ！
Haleyyyyyy!!
That album was a great time for the band. Out on the west coast of Norway at Ocean Sound Recording Studios. Giske. Many happy memories.
Norway is a wonderful place. Some of the smartest people I’ve met. Bernt Jakob Oksnes,, Ante Giskeødegård, Eirik Havnes, Morten Myklebust… smart on a different level.
I’m not a sport person in any manner whatsoever but it has to be said, sport is, much like music and all the arts, a place where we witness miracles. Regardless of whether you like or dislike something, when a team come back from 20 points down and win by a single point, scored with 1 .2 seconds on the clock, with a shot delivered by the gentlest fingertips in a flurry of massive people flaying their arms in the way it’s quite amazing. Almost as good as Scotland’s goals in their qualifying World Cup game.

Mmmhmmmmm?
Oh David!
My favourite show, or one of many, is the first time we played in Mexico at the Sports Palace. We played for about 2 1/2 hours. We played almost every song we could remember. It was our first time in Mexico. There are a few more but that one, just because we ran out of songs, was on of the most memorable.

I remember it well. The flat Travis project. Haha. We loved this. All of these memories are so special. And the community that gathered on the original messageboard and who travelled for the show. I still have pics of Sandy getting betrothed. Friendship and good bookmarks is what it’s all about.
Lovely to see you here Nikki
