The Merriweather Deer

Really excited to see the Merriweather Deer play tonight at the Frindge Club, even more excited to get to interview them as well! Think I'm going to do this one in print rather than as a video, especially since for now since Sadie and I are across the world- it's a bit tricky to keep the camera on the people you are interviewing, while trying to read off of a question sheet. Plus, I haven't done much print in a while, and I do miss it!

Oh and I realise I haven't said anything about the Bane show...
MAN it was AMAZING. I can't even begin to describe it... except that the HK hardcore/ underground/ whatever you want to call it scene really came together! I hope that more shows are like that in the future.

Got to chill with the guys in Bane for a while after... they really are the nicest guys ever. I think getting to talk to them made me begin to understand the "youth" that really goes with, and is such an essential mainstay of hardcore. I only hope that by the time I reach their age, that I am as free and full of life and excitement as the guys in Bane are.

Hopefully throughout the summer I'll catch up a bit more with the HK scene, since I've really fallen quite out of sync with it. Hoping to make a quick trip somewhere else as well, so maybe will have the chance to check out some other bands.

Since getting a "real" job and starting my summer class things have been pretty busy-- and I really have not been focusing as much as I hoped I would earlier. I am really going to try my hardest however, to update this blog as much as I can!! Also really hoping to upload podcasted versions of a few of the radio shows that we managed to Salvage off of the Fusionradio computer-- a WHOLE bunch of our shows got mysteriously deleted however. If anyone knows anything about podcasting, let me know! I really have no clue as to what I am supposed to do! =\
