Weird I just went to the record store to pick up a birthday gift for my brother, and they had the new 2xCD in stock...... STOKED.

Weird I went to a record store today after reading this thread and they were playing Mark McGuire over the shop stereo.

Which record store was it......

I'm really not up to date, i guess. I heard the first Emeralds a few weeks ago. I'll be seing them in one week. Should I be happy? I'm wondering what else I have missed in the music world.

it's quite good.

you are going to rhiz?

Yes, on the 6th. You're coming around from Utrecht?

Edit: I see you do. Wooden shjips are also on my list. Are you studying in Vienna?

I am going to do an internship at BOKU for 6 months, starting the 5th.

You are studying there?

Yep, studying. See you at the rhiz, I'll be wearing my black suit.

still don't know whether i will be there: conference starts that day, don't know where i will end up...

They have broken up.

Probably for the best, musically speaking.

Sad news. I used to like them quite much.

apparently dusty of puffy areolas formed a very heavy band with 2 guys who played in emeralds.

Wow, where did you hear about that? I'm sure John Elliott will be on board as he's played with them before, but I'm curious to who know else is involved.

dusty himself told me. he said that he will send me some cd or tape when they get something recorded. i am really looking forward to hear the fruits of this collaboration.
