Friday
After a couple of poor nights sleep before the 20th Anniversary gig and a buzzy night after it, I was pretty exhausted on Friday. Uploaded photos (see gig photos HERE, ) , did some chores, posted some stuff, wrapped up the Raising Kayn CD. Dan informs me I missed a verse out at the 20th gig from Alien Jellyfish Song! Told you I was tired...
In the evening I finally got time to watch a DVD I;d been saving - Love Aaj Kal (from the same director of Jab We Met which I loved) . I loved this too - comparisons are inevitable. He makes popular complex ramances bt with arty cinematic touches.
Things I especially liked were.
1. Dooriyan - the song - still can;t stop playing this song
2. the underscore - really lush and lots of it
3. Deepika Padukone...
4. the slow motion arty touches
5. the script - nicely quick and Cary Grant type clever.
Not quiiiite as good as Jab We Met because
1. not as many good songs
2. Saif Kahn was fine and likable but I could occasionally see thru his acting - unlike Shahid Kapur in JWM
thats all really. Must watch it again right thru next time.
This time I interrupted the movie with a trip to see some chums (Fandango, Tiny, & Dwyatt, & Dave the Drums) play in a coers band The Buccaneers in a pub roun the corner which has recently changed landlords and is now full of folks I know again. They were great. Only pro was I decided to try alcohol again - 2 halves of weak lager and a vodka - end result? Headache all the next day...
Saturday
Headache and tireness meant I ddlittle in the day - uploaded my Lost Tracks EP to bandcamp and put the widgets on the site - this is a free download. In evening went to play Govannen gig with chums fro When Cousins Marry at the Carington Arms, Ashby Folville - as is always the case here the crowd is numerous, jolly and go totally bats once te music starts. A hard and fast Irish set of 90mins (mostly Dan's dept, the gobshoite songs - i tend to come to front when arty and background dining music or jazz is required) . All went well and home by 1am again...
