I need to get some video up from our shows. It’s pretty hard to shoot and play drums at the same time so I end up giving you the same old stuff....me walking around aimlessly looking for a coffee shop, or dark boring backstage tours. I’ll try and get our tour manager Todd to shoot some video of an upcoming show.

A couple days ago I received the news that my brother and his wife just had a baby boy, so once again I’m an uncle. They happen to live in Belgium and I plan to stay with them for a night before our show in Brussels so I thought I should bring a baby gift.

I stopped by an H&M store while walking to the venue and bought a couple things that would be appropriate for a newborn living in a chilly place like Belgium. The cashier at H&M was an emotionless women who looked at me as If I were from another planet. Do I have a sign painted on my head that says “Bush Rules” or something?

A couple hours later B.F. and I walked up to where his precore was happening. Funny thing was, only one guy was there at first. Every other city had been a frenzy with fans waiting to watch an impromptu show. At 5:00pm sharp some more people rolled in and watched in delight as B.F. played some new songs and older Pixies stuff.

In contrast, our show at Den Atelier that evening was sold out and the crowd was awesome....most of which were not from Luxembourg I gathered.
