What, as ‘they’ say, Ho!
About a month ago ½DC + TWoTH trundled over to Bristol, England, for the weekend to see live & interview Dan Michaelson (of The Coastguards + Absentee). We set ourselves up in a swanky river facing hotel, spent the afternoon boozing it up on the deck of the Thekla ship venue, before catching up with a very tour-knackered Dan to knock off said interview for t’show.

A few months back ½DC + TWoTH bussed up to Birmingham, England to interview 2 of TWR’s very favourite Swedish(-based) lady singer/songwriters: Ane Brun & Jennie Abrahamson.
Both interviews were carried out in not exactly perfect conditions — as soon as the record button was pressed the air conditioning system kicked in, producing this low, moaning background hum, & the off switch was elusive to even the venue owners.
Here we go again…

Hell’s teeth in the dentist chair, was this a sod of a show to pre-produce! Here’s why…
Last week, when playing at The Point in this here Cardiff, the delicious Ida Maria & the delightful V.V. Brown allowed one half of & Mr. Fisk into their company & minds for 20minutes or so each. Whereas one half of had the relative luxury, & fairly quiet locale, of V.V. Brown’s very plush tour van to gently float questions in her direction, Mr. Fisk decided the best place to interview Ida Maria was in the glass walled viewing gallery directly above the stage. Which was being sound checked for the evening’s gig.

What a wery wobbly show. Sound quality is always an issue on this listing ship, but this week we think we may have wobbled a little too far over the red line. But, in the words of Isambard Kingdom Brunel: ah, fuck it.
To the Batmobile!

Hola.
Well, we had fun this week. Mainly because one half of was enthralled by his brand new studio equipment (mics, mixing desk). The superficial tit.
Anyway, TWoTH refrained from using any of the more choice of profanities & one half of seems to have gotten over his recent stateside trip.
