Matt playing the drums to MYM was no. 1. That came out two weeks or so ago.

It wouldn't surprise me if it leaked from a listening party. People get things they are not supposed to get on planes...I doubt the security is as tight with a listening party....

I am worthless as a critic, since I love almost everything :). Fortunately I won't be the only one. I am with two other members of this board, and at least one of the other three (journalists) I know, is here as well. Our listening party is tomorrow in Amsterdam, and I will write about it on the Dutch Ramblings page, since I promised that to the person who invited us. Then we have a festival from Thursday to Monday, so I don't think I can write much in English before that. But I will share everything I think, of course, eventually :).

groetjes,
Mirella :)

Yes, phones will be handed in. I still remember a listening party years ago, where a friend got busted with his recorder by another friend who worked for the record company. That was embarrassing for all of us. And he only wanted to make a bad recording for himself ;).

My problem is that I am terrible with deadlines, that is why I don't promise. Just let you know my intentions are good :).

Whatever you write, I will include it as the postscript to the new collection I am putting together: "Harmless on Lightning Bolt: The Collected Ruminations"

And a Boom video.

Hopefully it consists of black-and-white footage of him sitting on a bench quietly for 30 seconds.

Then Boom will get violently pushed off the bench by Brendan O'Brien, who will then sit there giving a thumbs-up to the camera.
