Quote:1. “cowards”, “pretty uncool” [towards Geb] – not a bit harsh on Bent here? In my interpretation he is only stating the obvious: Ken is one helluwa drummer, better than Geb; he [Bent] has developed a lot as a bassplayer after starting playing with Ken; MP was really in a dead end musically after LTEC, and it took both Geb and MP a long time to figure out how to take it further. What should they have done: Kicked Geb out? Or kept going down that road? With IALC in mind: No thank you!I think you’re right there. I had the chance to speak to Bent & Snah a little in 2008. Of course they wouldn’t spill any details or personal stuff about it. I got the impression it was a confusing time (it was also more a Tussler than a MP period) and now they’re happy and strong as a unit again. He praises this in that interview, so one shouldn’t read anything critical about their past into it. I asked when they did the commentary tracks for the Haircuts DVD, because Geb’s on them, too. I might remember this incorrectly but I think they did it in their late days or even after that on friendly terms. Sometimes you just split. Big deal for the music but not so much for the friendship. And there’s all the pictures and nostalgia on the DVD and Geb’s pet project for Now it’s time to Skate gets its proper credit for that and everything. It’s an ending to an era but it’s also its celebration, no? One wouldn’t release it like this otherwise.
We have one TV provider in switzerland and they shove the great stations one after the other into digital territory. Like BBC, TNT and WDR, so I’m not getting it. dammit. Ah well torrent is here to save us.
Minds were blown. Amazing show yesterday in Colgne. And of course Daffodils was one of the stand out tracks. Finally I saw my other bass hero on a stage. They played a non album track called Highway 1, I think. Jones played a blazing fast distorted mandolin, double tracked on bass by Alain Johannes, if I remember correctly. And another highlight was Jones on a strap on keyboard, 80ties Duran Duran style, while Homme dropped the guitar and sang some suave sexy jazzy thingy. Oh and not to forget Jones’ 12string bass with blinking blue LED’s across the fretboard. He’s the man. Go see them whenever you get an opportunity. The energy was unbelievable. Delivered with such an ease like only non-pretentious 40+ year olds experienced rockers can, having obviously the greatest and funniest time of their lives.
Though the moshpit was very annoying. Some idiot yuppie and squarehead pricks “going crazy at a rockshow”.
Kashmir are back. New song Mouthful of Wasps on http://www.myspace.com/kashmiryeah

btw I’m not too convinced (yet) of the record. I was so hyped before. Now I only really dig side 4.
Ever tried watching it with vlc player? It plays pretty much anything with no hassle.
