    Tried a quick nap before show tonight. Local militia throwing black cat bangers out in the streets. Sounds like the IDF in Gaza outside. # That's either a wide angled lens or a the largest cigar I've ever seen http://bit.ly/apWB5Q # A load of new Irish dates added to the website.

    Irish banking hours are insulting. How many more billion do they need in order to open at useful hours? # Nice to see Keane's still worthy of an Olympic medal for diving. # Fitch @fitch_ratings calling for "more evictions" by banks in Ireland. Immoral illogical evil morons. Same idiots who rated junkbonds as AAA #…

    I find it offensive that Ahern is being advertised by the News of the World. He should've been the first forced to emigrate for work. # In a Starbucks availing of free wifi, sitting beside a wall that moves at least one inch everytime the bathroom door closes. #ShoddyTed # Fás being crucified on The…

    RT @davidmcw: Now unpatriotic commentators to blame for economy. The same charge was leveled when I said housing boom was a "scam" in 2003! # Fast reaching apoplectic levels of tiredness. A furious sleep awaits. # Fudging typical. Just been sent a nice colour photograph of damaged album sleeve. "What would you like us to…

    What I love about Ireland is not that it's corrupt, but its corruption is completely legal. http://bit.ly/bwO6nQ http://bit.ly/aJqJCP # The insurance companies should be crucified for this. http://bit.ly/dB5TXO Millions are affected by this not just musicians. Be rich or die. # RT @nmcmahon: Got my hands on Tiger Cooke's hot new album. Reveling in 10…

    Tiger Cooke – http://ax.itunes.apple.com/ie/artist/tiger-cooke/id390147084 #iTunes # Another informative (and scary) article on the new musical world order.

    Dear Tony, Have you seen my shoes? Size 11, black leather, rubber soles?

  • Wrappin’ Up – US Tour 2010

    I’m writing this from a flat in Paris, which is trés chic of course, but then, that’s how we roll.  I had some things to say about the final stages of the US Tour with the Guggenheim Grotto for quite a while.  Inevitably, with the madness of the tour, the post-tour physical crash, and the…

  • Jamminess vs Spaciness

    Mick & I are amazed by Kevin’s spaciness much of the time.  He’s away with the fairies for a vast percentage of the day.  I’m not entirely guiltless in that regard, but Kev’s off the charts.  The Universe however is on Kevin’s side, not mine. On the morning we left Pittsburgh, Kevin couldn’t find his…
