Heatwave tonite! i’ll warm up the decks for Gabriel w/ a bit of dancehall.
my Aer Lingus flight back from Dublin was delayed 10 HOURS. horrible. still recovering, hence the brevity of his post.
the Irish festival was very specifically crazy. I showed up at 5pm on the day i was performing and the stage manager was already drunk, clutching a half-empty bottle of rum. And the mud…
Below is Mouse on Mars about to cart away their gear in a wheelbarrow. A wheelbarrow! Did i mention the mud? More fotos and festival talk soon.

From Steinski’s website:
) Sunday, July 29, 9:45 PM WOMAD Festival, Swindon, England.
This year’s WOMAD was in Swindon, a town at the edge of the recently flooded area of central England. I was extremely lucky; the weather was fine by the time I got there. But the unrelenting rains had left the festival grounds a sea of mud; mud that was a malevolent, science-fiction entity. Ankle deep, with the consistency of wet cement, it easily sucked the shoes right off your feet, after staining you a smelly brown up to the knees.
Since I didn’t have adequate footwear, I stepped into two large black garbage bags, which a kind soul taped to my pants legs (formerly white) with duct tape. The bags ruptured within minutes of slogging through the muck, so it took me almost an hour in the bathtub back at the hotel that evening to make the shoes clean enough to pass a cursory inspection at Heathrow Security on Monday.
