hello everybody!
i slept in so late today. guess i was a lot more tired than i thought. and kinda sick feeling.
we've been running ragged ever since we left the states - which is a pretty good thing. all these cool tv shows and acoustic performances. i got extremely hoarse yesterday morning before Radio 1. that's part of the reason I'm in bed all day today. some days you gotta do that for yourself. i guess.
so here i am, layin here and drinking one of these "detox" juice drinks. very delicious. i should probably eat something soon. maybe watch some kind of chick flick. wonder what the guys are doing today!? shopping, no doubt about it.
tomorrow is another day off... sorta. i have one interview all by my lonesome. maybe i'll get out and do something with my life after that. we're all ready to play this islington show. it's gonna be so awesome to come back around full circle... the first club we ever played in London. just paying our respects to the fans that were there first. we're really sorry that a lot of you couldn't get tickets. it's sort of the risk we took to do something small and low key. the smaller the room, the fewer tickets. to be honest, if it was my choice we'd play some 400 cap room like underworld (is it underground or underworld, i can never get it straight!). but that just REALLY wouldn't be fair.
it's such a weird problem to have that we can't play certain small venues because there are too many fans now. it's an amazing problem. just never imagined it'd be a problem that WE would have. kudos to you guys for getting us here!
so you guys liked the cover of "use somebody" yesterday? i was so nervous about it. they are so mother effin' popular.. didn't want to screw it up and piss people off. but anyways, all the comments and tweets and everything made us feel so good about it. hopefully KOL are as into it as everyone else seems to be. what if they hated it? hahah oh dear.
i just realized how close we are to putting out this darn record. only about a couple weeks! give or take a few days. it's about time. all the reviews have been amazing. can't believe it. we've never been that band. critics usually find more than one way to say how whiney i am or how much we still have to learn being that we're so young. this has been a completely different experience. it feels good. but in the end, what you guys think is what actually matters. little articles and columns don't matter that much in the big scheme of things.
gotta question, we are wanting to bring back the orange baseball hoodie for our fall tour... would you guys be into that? cause we had to price match No Doubt's hoodie on the summer tour. this time i think it'd be a little cheaper
i gotta go... headache city over here. talk to you soon... thanks for reading my rambling.
