Go Forth

I know. Stop. I don't want to hear your shit. Just look at this cute baby:



That's Irene's brand new little cousin. Adorable. Can't wait to meet her!

I write you whilst listening to a new Oasis song called FALLING DOWN. I quite love it. It's something new and cool from them. No, this isn't the remix that's floating, this is the actual fucking song. Don't ask me how I got it. I'm not even sure. It's a fine tune. Noel rocks it well on this one. I have a really good feeling about this album, which I think is out in October. The real single premieres on BBC on Friday, so let's see if they're on a roll...

On a roll are The Verve. I finally got the album, and it's damn good. Thumbs up. Not quite album of the year, but a fine worthy comeback. Actually, Dickie might be the least exciting thing on it. The band is great. And honestly, Love is Noise owns the festivals this summer and for good reason, it's a genuine classic. The perfect summer single and a fine addition to the Verve legacy. G is coming over tonight and we, like men, will have our own listening party now that I have found a good quality version of the album. I would call this the best all around comeback ever, maybe...Danny, the coldhearted jaded soul, hates this photo so of course i must post it:



These things, today are distracting me from the album I am MOST excited about, Hypefactor's new one. We are down to the wire. A slight light at the end of the excruciatingly long tunnel. Last night we locked a tune, and mapped a gameplan to finish the rest of the music for the album. There's a lot of enthusiasm. It's mostly all about guitars and vocals now. Leo, if you're reading. hurry up mate. thanks.

Benn mostly working or at B's or stealing time with Irene when our schedules allow us to actually hang out. Lotta good gigs coming up. Hopefully I'll be able to make them. I'm off to LA for the first time in ages next week, I'm excited to see the West Coasters, eat some Korean food, etc.

It was the young master's 10th birthday and while he is usually with us here in NY for most of August, a scheduling snafu (read: his mother fucked up), this time we were only able to grab an afternoon with him. But in that afternoon, we were able to spoil him with tons of cool ass Clone Wars stuff, get the 4th annual Han trip in, and present him with his big gift. Check it out:



Sweet, right? I told him if he sticks to it and really learns, B and I would record him. I would love to think this isn't a phase. Little punk got a macbook too, so maybe I can get him to remix. Who knows ;-)

Alright, man. Back to the Verve. I just filled my gut with noodles with G. I gotta go read some comics. Can you tell me what BATMAN RIP is about? Thanks!
