So in an attempt to “live blog” something for the first time ever, I sent text messages to my email during the first day of all points west. Nothing good came of it, this is far from “live”, but I am posting them here unabridged anyway, with editors notes.

Born Slippy has been in my life longer than Feed The Animals.
Underworld – Born Slippy Parts 1 and 2. 1, as I realized they started playing it and power walked over. 2, as I stood, drooling and sunburned.

Then the batteries on my camera died. Don’t worry (if you were worrying) I did get a chance to “film” radiohead the second night, but we are a looooonnnng way from posting that shit. Timeliness? Psssshhhhh.
Fuck you with razor wire for getting to see Underworld. Those assholes haven’t toured the US proper for like 6 years. I saw them in Chicago, and would sell several of my fingers to experience them again.
yeah brother, they were amazing. My only regret was that I didn’t get closer, I will post more videos for you.
