Probably not Kili. You might still be able to get a ticket for just sunday if you go online or phone up tomorrow, but you def. won't be able to get one on the day. I'd also be surprised if there any one day tickets left...but if you succeed let me know and I'll make sure I find you to say 'Hi'!

That's a cool interview with some genuine sounding dudes. The quotes attributed to them at the top are genius! [view article]

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
