| England Looms |

Back home.
Manchester was our first port of call on the new tour, with its rusty red bricks and the grand Apollo, where we attempted to please 4000 people each night. I managed to forget the words to our newest song, Waste Land, but I'm not sure... [Read More] |
| Raining in Tokyo |
|
| 05 Oct, 2005 |
| The Tokyo drizzle turned into a torrent as I distanced myself from the hotel. I just kept going as it became heavy, trying to duck into shop doorways now and then for a spell of respite. Underneath trees, I could escape the even blanket of droplets but... [Read More] |
| Tucson |
|
| 28 Sep, 2005 |

This is a small thankyou.

A fashion gathering spills out of a gallery like swill gushing from... [Read More] |
| Portugal and Japan |
|
| 10 Aug, 2005 |
| We are leaving Portugal in our new sleeper coach. I write from a bunk the size of a large coffin, with the intricate guitarisms of John Fahey ringing in my ears via the magic of headphones. Devendra Banhart has just given me a hug goodbye and it will... [Read More] |
