「A change of pace & other things」

Changing from the acoustic to the good old electric guitar, I’m getting ready for our show with KING BROTHERS. The rehearsals for Unplugged are really fun, too, but… I just can’t help but say that distortion really is wonderful! Playing in a rock band is fun, guys.

I tried playing the Navigator again after a long time. I’m currently pondering whether to use it at the show, too. Also, I’m considering having two amp racks.

I recommend this CD. It’s a compilation series by the title of “LateNightTales” and has different artists select all the tracks on the disc. So, this isn’t Belle & Sebastian’s new album but rather songs selected by them (their second in the series). Others featured in the series include Fatboy Slim, AIR (the French one), Jamiroquai and — possibly a good one for the 9mm fans — Arctic Monkeys, etc, so there’s a big back catalog. You’ll probably only be able to get imports of these.

Listening to a compilation made by someone else, thus having music that you didn’t choose playing in the background as you go about your life (mostly if you live in the city)… it was quite weird, actually. Not to say it’s a bad thing or anything.
