SRXXXIV: .. -. -. .. - ..--..

How many has Daniel Sturridge scored this season?  He seems to score every time I watch MotD and I don't watch it every week.

My first thought was that you ratted me out, yeah.

Anyway, in short, people saying A Grounding in Numbers is back to good ol' VdGG boggles me the most. It's completely the other way around. They're not even trying, with their short songs and fluesy composing. At least Trisector was faithful, even in this new formula.

Very nice to meet again, Robert.

Actually, I haven't said anything.  I forgot you were seeing them.  I could see them myself in London but I'm not really that fussed.

I presume they did some old numbers?

I still say they're not as good without Jaxon.

and yes, I noticed on the album that no tracks are over 10 minutes.  I'll find out later how lazy they are.

And I enjoyed Hammill's last solo effort.

Same as ever.

That settles it. People here don't deserve you.

Don't wanna say too much about the concert. I'm want to write a guestpost for Raff, followed by a version in my language.

If I can, that is. Two days and the paper's still sitting blank on my desk.

As far as a departure from songwriting goes, the one thing this new album doesn't seem like it will have is sort of the goofy, (as Rob put it) Willy Wonka-ish vibe that Mirrored was full of.  I will miss some of that but I'm not terribly disheartened by the change in direction.

The new material sounds of very little interest to me, maximum *** (if it's all like that, of course).
