[15 May 2005] Visiting Dave
Finally left the house today, went to visit old workmate Dave, who now lives just down the road from me. Lots of coffee (he's l33t enough to grind his own beans - delicous) and a little weed (which is more than enough for me) and a chat about old/new work times, German techno-dub, and the music he's been making (heavily influenced by German techno-dub).
Then I staggered down to the store to buy a replacement light bulb. Ended up buying loads of snack food, and the wrong lightbulb. So as I'm typing this the only light in my room is coming from my screen.
Forgot to mention I saw Nick Cave on Thursday. The latest in a whole string of decent bands who've played here recently. Life is good. Nick himself didn't play the best gig I've ever seen, though there was nothing wrong with it and I enjoyed it overall. It seemed like he was getting a bit old, and some of the power was going from his voice. Also the crowd seemed a little flat - but I was tired as fuck so maybe it was just me. Not saying it was a bad gig, by any means, just not earth-moving.
Went with Rhonda and James and some of Rhonda's friends.
