Being on stage seemed a mixed blessing for him. He seemed to love playing the songs, but also to find the presence of an audience slightly discomfiting. I know what you mean.

All the more fun to watch, though.

Although try and go somewhere with ventilation. China, I get the impression he's quite shy, or at least that's how he came across to me. Maybe just an arrogant rock tosser, but he didn't really seem that way. I'm open to correction though. Definitely worth seeing, C&B – most enjoyable gig.

Glad to hear that I can expect some ear-punishin', rockin' like bastards, gray sweater wearin' fanciableness. It'll take nothing less to keep me up past my bedtime.

Fine choice of crushes. Song, by Toad commends you ;-) He is quite fanciable actually, in an introverted, tormented indie rock god sort of way. Fine choice of crushes. Song, by Toad commends you ;-)

Hey! Twilight Sad's bigger in the US?? They're not even that big here - they only get praise from critics but the average person here's not heard of them. In any case, thanks for posting that James Graham picture. I've got a big crush on him and his mood of silence. That Popup is indeed pretty decent! Hey!
