Absolute Tour, basically.
Newcastle, 6:30pm, dressing room concensus rules we have been on tour for ‘some’ days. None of 65daysofstatic have been on tour anywhere near as long as Youthmovies, which makes our decline all the more pathetic. They have been on tour for 7 weeks, and they smell like it.

For anyone who’s read any kind of 65 update from the road before, anything we could tell you would only involve repeating information you’ve heard before. i.e. everything is broken, everyone needs some sleep, everything is either painfully funny or gravely serious.

We have so far: behaved whimsically in South West University Stationary Stores, broken two people’s feet (foots), destroyed a bar in Antwerp, got introduced to a game called Dichball (translates as Dickball), shared a dressing room with a Burlesque troupe, played in a room made of stars in Brussels, vacated dressing rooms hurriedly in Dublin, been thrown out of Stena Sealine breakfast bars, performed coincidentally-choregraphed dances to drum’n'bass, waited for Graeme YMSS to come back from visiting (absolute) Maxine’s flat, soundchecked topless, poured water in each other’s bunks, reheated unbelievably high-quality salmon dishes in roadside microwaves, done justice to the phrase ‘Buffalo’, given each other directions in our sleep, made emergency phone calls offering sage advice to various BBC uber-talent, named new guitar-tech Feg ‘Moomin Papa’ (amongst other things), drank a lot of tea, watched ‘Days of Thunder’, ‘Salem’s Lot’, ‘Some Kind of Monster’ and ‘Big’. We have also destroyed our tour manager’s liver.

That’s about everything we can remember. It’s really appreciated that you’re all coming out to the shows, considering we don’t have a new record out or anything. But we have put a lot of time into putting together a new set which seems to be working out SPECTACULARLY. The Destruction of Small Ideas vinyl has arrived too and it looks beautiful. We have it on the merch stall right now, along with a bunch of new tshirts which are fucking cool.
Hope to see you before we call time on 2007.
