Ahhhh, we're back again and spirits are high. This time we have started out on the west coast, and the scenery is as luscious as i remember. On the Victoria ferry, we search for killer whales on the horizon, off it, we take a break for cigarettes and stone skipping by the water. This time, we have a bigger car to travel around with, a people carrier, so i'm sprawled out on the back seat, watching scenery pass like a time-line.

It's been striking me every night since we started (3 days ago) how beautiful a pairing it is, with Mogwai and ourselves. Those guys are constantly putting a smile on my face as i watch them every night. Their music is so internal but their volumous dynamic pounds that feeling ferociously. Stephen whom we traveled with previously on the Caribou tour, has been doing their sound and making them sound otherwordly. John (from Mogwai) has been doing our sound and from the sounds of it, he's been making us sound great (Thank you John). The comradery on this tour so far has been excellent in fact, and i'm enjoying the evolution of the relationships. Apart from Barry Burns. He's constantly trying to bully us or belittle us, telling us that we should get proper keyboards and how he can play piano and flute and guitar and anything made by God's hands and then asking what we can play... Just kidding, he can't playing anything...

Hope everyone is well back home.
