Well, my dear friends, I am now back home in Athens. The february 2007 tour of tuxedomoon is now officially finished. And what a swell tour it was, too. We had some good times this time around. We played a set composed of mostly new songs and this seemed to set well with the public. I think the notable gigs were the Nouveau Casino in Paris and the first two German gigs, Hamburg and Berlin, though they all went well.

We spent many days riding in a van, as one usually does on a tour like this. The middle-aged knees and butt were in danger of seizing up and ceasing to function but hotel room and roadside yoga helped me persevere.

I was very pleased to meet the many myspacers who now number among my actual flesh and blood friends. Rupert or no Rupert, this social networking stuff is a good thing.

And now here I am back home in the Big Olive, rolling in my sweet baby's arms as the song would have it.



Also worthy of note is the pending release of two new solo cd's from me. First is the soundtrack music from Elektra, backed with some tracks from Radio Moscow, out even now on James Nice's Les Temps Modernes. Second is my new song cd "Glossololia" from friend Alain Lefebvre's Stilll label. Look out for them.

That is all for now, my little chickadees.
