We played Dresden on the second night, in a big old warehouse called Alter Schlachof. I hypothesised that it might have been a mental asylum because it was so creepy, but we later found out it was in fact an abbatoir, with sloped floors so that the blood could drain. Schlachof literally means 'a place to slaughter', which I remembered from my top grade German A-level. The fact that I remembered that after I was told it by a German person doesn't mean anything. I still remembered.

We went to Germany for a couple of shows with Kate Nash and her band. It's impossible to describe how welcome they made us feel. I am rubbish at saying things to people's faces so I hope she sees this - they were honestly the nicest people anyone could ever hope to play a gig with. Here are some pictures of some stuff. Did you know that a woman recently married the Berlin Wall? Apparently she had an affair with a fence on the side though. That's no joke, it was in a documentary.
In this picture: I can see how the wall is very fanciable, but actually i think that window is hotter, man german cars are sexy, stop stop stop i think i've just seen my future husband

Nobody came with me to Manchester for mixing. That was a lot of alone time, so I liked to spend it at the Trafford Centre, which is like a city, but with no houses, just lots and lots of shops. I went to Selfridges and talked to some tea-cosies, then I watched Indiana Jones 4 in a cinema that looked like the set of Indiana Jones 2, which was confusing. Finally I spent 5 pounds on Winnie the Poohs in little plastic jackets. 'Human contact is overrated,' i said to my tea cosy friends.
IN these pictures: me and my fwends, i thought this was worth a picture somehow, the Temple of Doom, mommy is this where poohs come from?

During mixing, we played 'boff marry or kill', which in our sexually starved states turned into 'boff'. If you must ask- Plath, Byron, Bean, Horse woman.

While recording the album, I have gathered conclusive evidence that Euan is autistic, and wants everyone to see his balls.

I had a Lightspeed Champion show and Princess Leia was already taken,so I went for Han. At first they were going to give me random jedi,which I was not happy about AT ALL. It is marked in my book under 'grudges to keep'.

I went walking around Austin, eating falafels and stuff. Later, I ripped off Family Guy for the title of this blog.
