Ouch By Ouch Ouch

I have injuries from walking too much. The shame.... oh.. the shame... cry.

We played our last sxsw gig today. I ate too much mexican food beforehand and kind of flubbed around the stage like a sweaty bag of whales before rolling off in a hurry to catch Maps & Atlases (who were incredible). So far this has been the best week. I'm going to post lots of pictures soon, some of which are boss aces. Bumped into "Harkin Sky Larkin Harkin Harkin" during a secret Dinosaur Jr show, which was the most "Awesome Pals" moment of the week so far. Speaking of which, Calum and I walked for a good couple of miles to try and find some pizzeria Sky Larkin were playing at, but gave up after it became apparent that we were both idiots without functioning brains that can remember things. VEGGIE HOTDOG made up for it a little. Got stopped in the street by a man bearing free sunglasses who said we were this year's Los Campesinos, whatever that means. Radio sesh tomorrow and then it's GOODBYE SXSWXW!! X!W

All of you going to SXSW:

First off, and most importantly, I really, really hate you.

Second, you should totally go to some of Todd P's day parties. Last year Me and Neil spent most of our time there getting drunk and sunburnt and stalking Mika Miko. The shows are really great because they're totally free and you don't need wristbands to get in, and there are no age restrictions so you get to see ten year old kids freaking out to John Maus or something. This year it looks like Micachu and Telepathe and Vivian Girls and Casiotone and HEALTH and Abe Vigoda and Finally Punk and OHMYGODIAMSODEPRESSEDANDGOINGTOGOKILLMYSELFNOWYOUBASTARDS.

EDIT: Ms. B's is at the top end of the big street that everything's on. Walk past the garage and under the bridge, then turn left after a couple of hundred yards and you're there.
