Love the idea for the book, if yr friend ever dropped out or you wanted to do a follow up I would love to do one, is it just me or is it a really exciting idea *wipes brow* oh man I gotta lie down. Put down the duckie if you wanna play the saxaphone.

It's a lot of fun to do, and it keeps us motivated, even if it isn't a completely original idea... So far it's the story of two childhood friends and the separate lives they have developed, and getting reacquainted and the effect it has on their lives. Not sure exactly where it's going, but that's the beauty of writing with someone else, we keep surprising each other... Hopefully it will develop into something possibly publishable... we'll see...

So, the boo radleys?

Yeah, I was young and foolish.

Nah,
that's really cool... What are you up to these days? When are they making a VH1 behind the music on you guys

I've just finished recording an album under the name Brave Captain which should be out in the next few months. I don't what 'Behind the music' is but I'm sure you need to have sold more than 67 copies to get on it. So the 'Coney Island Cyclone' really exists, I only know it from a Mercury Rev song on their first (and best) album 'Yrself Is Steam'. I've been to NY many times and on-one has ever taken me to Coney Island, next time for sure. Have recently devoted my reading time to rock writings, Nick Tosches, Richard Williams, Richard Meltzer (Genius!) and a wonderful biog on the blessed Lester Bangs, all good stuff and a galaxy away from the hacks, whores and corporate bootlickers that pass for music writers these days. Been listening to lotsa German bleeps and bloops, Pole and Mapstation, love the Delgados album. Ok I'm gonna get back to my machines. Love.

Behind the music is this show that tells the stories behind the scenes about bands... usually very funny "nightmarish descents into drugs and alcohol" story lines.

but Yes, the cyclone is real... been there for like 75 years or something crazy like that. A great rollercoaster though... but you can't escape the feeling that you are taking you life in your hands.

Coney Island is very tacky and shady, but a load of fun. In manhattan you forget the beach is right there...

Me, I find myself listening to mopey music, although i'm in a good mood... Nick Drake over and over...

him and on the complete opposite side of the spectrum - fatboy slim
strange?
