It was hugely controversial, but I'm pleased to say I walked away with the Prague Open Bowling trophy, after a 2-1 win at the tricky Bowling Swing Lanes yesterday evening. 

So controversial in fact, BH was stunned into admitting "I feel like Al Gore". Which makes me W. Bush I suppose - a small price to pay for bowling silverware.

After a few days for reflection in the Tratas Mountains, rivalries are due to resume in Bratislava.

Hello There.

Been a fairly busy time what with moving flats n'all. I'm now firmly moved into my new place - its pretty small and basic, but the neighbourhood rules (pretty darn central) and early impressions of living solo are just fine.

Spent a lot of last week filming various levels of spanish celebrity for work (higher end celebs mind, this is Nat Geo) including the first female mountaineer to scale all 14 8km+ peaks (or she could be the second depending on who you believe), a sexologist/actress and an author/journalist - and all incredibly nice they were too.

Also picked up a bronze award at a recent promo shinding in LA.

And in my free time, our footy team marched to a best ever 3rd place finish (in the summer league).

Re-watched Twin Peaks season 1 (excellent - a lot funnier than i remember)- slowly working on season 2 (not as good but still highli watchable).~

Re-read Vernon God Little - in about 4 days - amazing what else you can do without tv or internet.

Watched two movies: Youth in Revolt: Michale Cera doing Michael Cera+edge (3.5)

What just Happened? Solid. 3

Back in UK on 25th August...would be good to see you if I can.

Easy



A full strike on the Metro, in protest at pay cuts, has caused chaos in Madrid this week.  I've survived the 45 minute daily walk thanks largely to the excellent album by Phosphorescent.



It's called Here's to Taking it Easy for chrissakes - what more excuse do you need to give it a listen?

Walkmen news



Greetings everyone,



Our next record, Lisbon, will be released on September 14 on Fat Possum records. We recorded the first half in New York with Chris Zane, and the second half in Dallas with John Congleton. We recorded 29 songs, but whittled it down to 11. It runs for 44 minutes. The writing took 2 years and the recording took just under one. We'll have a lot more stuff about it here in the next couple of days.

Loving this video over at weloveyouso.

Worth 12 minutes of your time, as Spike Jonze says "As Real as it gets"

Muchas Gracias



Just wanted to thank everyone again who came to the Pavement tribute show on saturday.  Feedback has certainly been positive ("really good but REALLY Loud"). For me, it was great to:

1. Play in the Windmill, scene of so may top gigs down the years

2. See so many good friends all in the same place at the same time.

cheers again  - hope the windmill urinals and/or whiskey fuelled spanish fans didn't spoil it.

I'm next planning to be back in the UK for The Walkmen at Islington Academy on August 25th - hopefully catch up with some of you again then.

Un abrazo!
