This coming Wednesday I will be playing at Tavastia, Helsinki with the notorious Drunk Lovers.

Cats on Fire is also performing on Wednesday evening at 9PM so all the more reason to be there rain or shine.

Here is a live review by Aamulehti of a show couple weeks ago (I guess it’s for the Tampere show).

The review is very positive, which I am surprised by because it was a very difficult show for the band. I was recovering slowly from bronchitis and just before the show I puked the last antibiotic pill out of my guts and felt like fainting all the time. The next night in Turku we played the best show we have done so far…but hey, thank you for coming to those shows and we did our best on both evenings.

Here is the lyric for The Little You Give. This song is about loving a Pavement fan.



I have learnt two things from you

never to tell exactly what’s on my mind

and never to lie

I have said two things to you

always to say precisely what you feel

and never to die

I

don’t know why

we’re still dancing

around the table

I

don’t know why

we still hold on

to that old refrain:

‘And I accept the little you give

between the lies and the day that you die’

I have kept two things from you

they will forever remain unsaid

and you won’t be hurt

I have sung these words to you

when you had Crooked Rain on so loud

we both thought we were in

Pavement

I

don’t know why

we’re still holding

onto that same old song

I

don’t know why

we still dance

around the table

I

don’t know why

we still hold on

to that same refrain:

‘And I accept the little you give

between the lies and the day that you die’
