    Put it on ebay ;)

    Or sell it to me.

    I didn't know there were T-shirts inside the venue, when I saw people wearing them I thought they were cheapos the touts were selling, then I learned of what was on the back and was gutted.
    My body is a temple come kneel at my prayer mat.

    I wont put it on ebay... if I sold it it would be for what I paid for it!

    I might hang on to it though as I'm sure my other will get worn out!!!!

    I'll let you know if I decide to sell it ;)

    No worries dude, I wonder if Pearl Jam will do the whole merchandise thing and have T-shirts on sale in Virgin, HMV etc etc like in the old days.

    nothing at the moment... starting a new band in July/august. We'll start record our shit straight away. If it turns out any good I'll let you know... Can say as much as it sounds pretty Pixies/Mudhoney'ish.... Heavily influenced by those two bands.... with a 'lil spice of my own ;)

    i thought that was a thinly veiled homosexual insult at first there Dave ;)


    yes it's 6th equal man :)

    I'm turning into a punk rocker in my older years.... Come Back & Inside Job really took hold of me on Friday night... i was in a reflective and wine-infused mood and in the quiet hours of that night those songs stuck with me.

    The first 4 songs on the album just make me jump around so much.... took me about 20mins to empty dishawsher this morning as i spent 18 of those minutes just pogo-ing around with my kids staring at me like i was insane....

    kids know stuff :o

    I love the way it rocks like a bastard and then eases into some beautiful stuff at the end so that you just want to go back to the start again....!!

    think about it dave... "Come back"..... if you spell the "come" part differently ;)

    how highly rude... this will get us back to having the ladies from Astoria asking us if we fancy Ed again :rolleyes:


    you're right about the tracklisting though Hard-->Slow over the course of the 50mins... its really good... to think we were some of the first people to see/hear those songs in a live setting :D

    Ohhhh :o it's painfully good. I'd say the first 20 times I heard it (all in the one evening :rolleyes: ), I wanted to cry... I'm ALMOST past that now. It's just gorgeous :)

    I have to say at the moment I'm loving most of them - not much point even naming them cos it's pretty much all of them.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    I love it - love the punky vibe! Haven't had a chance to sit and listen to it properly - bought it on Saturday when we arrived in Cork - didn't even check in to the hotel - drove round til we found a Tesco to buy it! Checked in - no cd player in room - went down to sit in the hire car and listen briefly to it before dinner! Since then it's been background - driving round Cork yesterday and whilst decorating today - ned to find time to sit and listen to it with the lyrics and all that shite ....

    Going to bed now though - it's a school nite!!!!

    I looovvveee it! Even after Astoria, I thought that it may have been overhyped but no! Haven't had much time for anything this week-end - just waiting for my daughter to be back at school tomorrow and I will have a bit of peace and quiet to 'savour' my CD!

    I love the punky stuff PJ do... they do it so well considering they are predominantly a classic rock type of band... genre speaking..

    Comatose is the instant stand out track of the album for me... just as Save You was on Riot Act... songs like Spin Black Circle,Hail Hail, Lukin, etc etc... just get you moving :)

    The album is ace isn't it, Love the straight ahead rocking of the first four tracks and then the rest of the album just opens up from parachutes, Severed Hand, Gone and Comatose are my faves but they are all excellent tracks.

    Been listening to it non-stop since it was delivered on Sat Afternoon, always takes me a while to get into new albums and this one seems to get better the more I listen.
