Sunday, September 7th, 2008Philly was baking hot and full of food. The gig was in the heart of busy Chinatown, and there was no time to venture any further afield than Reading Terminal Market, home to a frankly dizzying array of food concessions. A wild mushroom quesadilla from Down Home Diner set me up for a [...]

Sunday, September 7th, 2008If I wait to find time to write the second half of this post before blogging anything about the US tour I’m on at the moment I’ll be waiting a long time, so to hell with chronology and hello to blogging as and when I get the time.
NYC is always a blur (in a good [...]

I spent most of the evening chatting to the lovely [...]
Rockstar (Understand) LIVE at Nano Mugen
