daan - stbaafsplein - 190710

belgium's most divers (and maybe best) songwriter on flanders nicest open air stage,
between two of gent's towers .. good live versions of the manhay songs, with a wink
to this night's setting in brand new truth 'so i live in a fucked up country, hm except
gent maybe' .. best part the duet jamais neutral (from the cinema disc), with drumster
isolde singing in front of the stage as in the video below (i think a year ago it was
still from behind the drum set) ..

glastonbury - 080710

amazing festival, with a goosebumps performance of muse together with the edge,
covering u2's where the streets have no name (and have a look at matthew's smile),
afterwards the edge was telling in the studio: they asked me and i had to think for,
hmm, like ... three minutes ..



and their classic time is running out, extasing the field, preceded by short
singalong moment



and another nice collaboration: florence joining the xx during their remix cover of
her you've got the love .. unfortunatelly not on youtube anymore ..

the national - paradiso - 060710

on the same evening as the world cup semi-final of the netherlands against uruguay, a national concert in the dutch national rock temple, and because of the game they started earlier .. they all wore something orange, with matt in a costume (looking a bit reddish) .. the gig started like a final, song after song, and matt at some point 'hm it seems we're rushing' and also 'you're not wearing that much orange, i'm feeling a bit like a dick' .. as if they knew the result of the coming game, they played a victory show, with lots of high violet songs, and one and a half of the old 'sad song for dirty people' album, available and the end of cardinal song glued after, something they did apparently for the first time, which was noticeable as matt was too early singing the line 'jesus christ you have confused me' .. great to see they keep on surprising themselves .. only highlights this evening, a superb squalor victoria, with matt screaming like a dutch fan after a goal of his team (three later the evening) .. and twice a great hat-trick, with a short break in between, first daughters-england-fake and then runaway-november-terrible .. then the game had already started, so no about today this evening, luckily i have since short a live-version of this song on disc :)

bergen - 020710

a norwegian city where this norwegian photographer, mikkel mcalinden hangs in the contempary wing of the kunstmuseum, this picture 'passing cars' took my attention, and also his other work is worth looking at
