Was so good to see the guys again!
Wish could have gone at the ancienne belgique in brussels though but they were to lazy to open up the whole hall (just the box, even after super fast sell out of the tickets!!!)
I bet the concert in the AB will be more magical, not because of the quality…

if you like interpol or bands that sound a bit alike, like editors…
listen to this!!! you WILL really take a shine to it!
unique and uplifting great music…. just have a listen… ;)

the korean war that the us fought more than half a century ago is still held up by 35.000 US troops patroling the border between the two korean states.

there is a plastic carpet in the north pacific ocean that has reached the size of central europe, roughly around 700 square kilometers…. wondering who wants, or can afford, to clean around 300 millions tons of rubble from the ocean…
consequences are that the trash thats been drifting there for a couple of dacades now is decomposing into plastic pallets which the fish eat, that softeners of the plastic and other ingredients make the fish mutate… who eats this fish?….
we do, all of us….
Global Problem -> Local (national) thinking…..

do not want to turn this into a philsophical…. a new decade…
what the fuck are we doing??? us humans?
localised and individual thinking, when the problems are becoming more global on an icreasing scale…. producing more and more crap, throwing things out faster and faster… and on top we are shiping it all needlessly accross the globe… it's the decade to wake up from our silly dream of endless growth!!!
