Nothing beats the old system of standing in an actual line of people for an actual record store who sells actual tickets. This system is just so unfair.

I'm so happy I didn't even try to get tickets for this one.

Hi Haruka, I made your mixtape! I'll give the additional information tomorrow evening (gmt) since I'm spending the weekend away from home. Sent from my Windows Phone 8X by HTC using Tapatalk

Just made a 5.1 mix of the HD tracks, gonna edit it with the itunes artwork movie, and enjoyyyy

Here’s my review: So, this is my first mixtape exchange and what an exchange to start off with! Firstly, I like the artwork. It is most certainly better than anything I can produce :p The Mixtape is titled ‘Colors’ and the artwork is very coloury indeed. You also included a ‘Read Me’-file. In general you explained why the mixtape is the way it is. I made me even more curious, but I do actually like hardrock though! ;) Before I discuss every song individual, let me first say that I really like how you made it a very cohesive piece of work, and everything was very well thought through! So, the songs: 01 - A very short song, 1 minute long. Soft synths, a muffled voice. Can’t make out which song it is or who the artist is. It’s a good opener for sure. 02 - Wait.. Is this… IT IS! It’s White Lies! Damn I love that band. I saw them live twice, as support act for Coldplay back in 2009 and in November 2013. This song is ‘Big TV’, the title track from their latest album. I loved their first album, didn't like the second, but they conquered my heart with ‘Big TV’. Ahhhh, bliss. 03 - It opens with drums and bass, I hear a guitar coming in. Off to a good start. The vocals sound familiar, but I can’t place them. I actually like this song very much, very upbeat and some awesome guitaring :) I can see myself going crazy at this during a festival. Please tell me who it is, can’t wait to pirate the shit out of this artist. 04 - You made me grin here. Of Monsters And Men with ‘Mountain Sound’! I actually discovered them quite early and went to see them at a tiny gig near where I live, for a few hundred people. Also got the whole band to sign my LP of them. They have a great sound with some very nice harmonies. Great band, great song. 05 - Acoustic guitar intro, very mellow song. Very good song to chill to, I have no idea who it is though. I really like the electric guitar solo. I’m a guitarist myself and this guitarist has my approval! 06 - A very heavily edited piano piece of 19 seconds so it sounds very muffled. I had no idea what is is, but suddenly it hit me after listening it again. This is the piece that Matt Bellamy (Muse) plays after ‘United States of Eurasia’! It’s Chopin’s ‘Nocturne Op 9 No 2’. I don’t know if you know this from Muse or from Chopin, but I love you for it either way. 07 - WHAM! GUITARSSS. Of course I recognize this song. It’s ‘Supersoaker’ from Kings Of Leon. I saw them live once, they play great but there’s not much interaction with the audience (none actually). Anyway, this is a great song in my opinion. Really upbeat, very catchy and it makes you wanna partyyyy. 08 - Really, are you flirting with my dear girl/boy? This is my jam! I love Arctic Monkeys and AM is a great album. The song is ‘Do I Wanna Know’ by the way, and it’s just perfection. I play it on guitar often, trying to be as cool as Alex Turner. I really love the outro too. I’m loving this. 09 - Hey, Keane. The song is ‘The Boys’ from their latest (last?) album. I’m not that big a fan of them, but this is a nice song. Simple, yet catchy with the classic Keane-sound. 10 - This has an interesting sound. I can deduce from the accent that it’s an American band, but other than that… no idea. Very nice song, nice use of the violin. Very gentle song too. And then suddenly: drums! Nice twist in the song. Please tell me the band, can’t wait to hear more! 11 - Oh, hello there Bono. Of course I know this. It’s ‘Ordinary Love’ by U2. I can’t call myself a fan, but I do own 6 albums and I would love to see them live. I’m looking forward to their new record; I love ‘Ordinary Love’ and ‘Invisible’. Excuse me while I sing along to this one. 12 - Another instrumental interlude. And yes I do know this one, again it’s White Lies! It’s called ‘Space I’ and it’s a nice and spacey (no pun intended) piano interlude for the song ‘First Time Caller’ on ‘Big TV’. 13 - Well, fuck me. ‘First Time Caller’ by White Lies! It’s White Lies galore! Not that I mind :p This song is a classic White Lies song. Good lyrics, pretty bright ones too for White Lies. And then finally towards the end some distorted guitar. Lovely :) 14 - Isn’t that a synth used in ‘Princess Of China’? Yes it is! And that’s a piano playing the rhythm of the song. And later an acoustic guitar comes in. This is amazing! I like it more than the original :p Did you make this yourself? If so, well done! I adore it! Well, this is an amazing mixtape! I loved every minute of it. And… well I’ll just say it.. I love YOU! You’ve got an amazing taste in music and are obviously very talented. Thank you for this and all the effort you put into it. I has been a wonderful 45 minutes.

Sad sad news... Maybe a reason why there are no interviews to promote the album and no tour plans.

And they're back in black :D

That's the setlist from last monday dear..

FYI: There's a multicam dvd on the way for the goffertpark gigs!
