As a fellow Dutchman, I can assure you that people writing about 'Dutchie-gate' at the Leuven gig are clearly missing the point. After a couple of songs, Tweedy told the audience that they were having more fun than the audience the night before. At that point, I shouted "but they were Dutch!", which transformed into a running gag, especially when some other Dutchies at the front shouted *they* surely were having fun. At one point during the show, Jeff jokingly assured everyone that he wasn't in a position to dislike the Dutch, the French or any other population, "because I'm American". Over

Prague 2010 is also missing. Which sucks, because now the list of attended shows on my Wilcoworld-profile is incomplete.

The cd player in my mother's car ate my deluxe version of TWL; it won't play past Born Alone. One more reason to abandon the damn thing.

Eight tees and a horrendous brown jacket.

I was surprised to find one at my local record store. Paid 15 euros for it.

Who's that handsome fellow in the last 2 seconds?

I don't think there will be an integral radio broadcast of the show, just some songs. I'll try to record the Cultura24 broadcast though.

Actually, I think this might be good news for independent record stores. There'll always be a market for physical media, wheter it's vinyl or plastic discs. People just don't want to buy a disc for every single song they hear on the radio; that's why the cd single disappeared a few years ago. If Walmart and Best Buy discontinue their cd sales, people might return to the smaller stores. I for one still enjoy buying cd's, but they usually end up unused in my closet, because most of the time I already downloaded a lossless copy.

That was fun!

Man, I love this band. They're having so much fun on stage!

Sure, and a couple of mattresses in the attic

Any VC'ers coming to my hometown?

I'd love to see some copies show up in the European store at Wilcoworld. Otherwise it'll cost me over a hundred bucks, including the immensive shipping costs from the US store..

Demonoid?

One of the best shows I've seen in my life.

Wasn't this the exact reason why Beulah called it a quits?

Awesome debut by a 20-year-old Dutch guy. Check it out if you dig Ryan Adams or Ron Sexsmith.

Gemm.com Play.com And, of course, eBay.

Removed Andorra, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Monaco, Portugal and Turkey from the list. Last year, on a trip to Pécs (Hungary) I nearly touched the Croatian border, but never crossed it.. [edit] Nevermind, Cryptique already removed Croatia [/edit] Afghanistan (316) Albania (97) Algeria (76) Angola (53) Antartica Antigua and Barbuda (108) Armenia (218) Azerbaijan (127) Bahrain (142) Bangladesh (475) Belarus (212) Benin (23) Bhutan (94) Bolivia (227) Bosnia and Herzegovina (215) Botswana (161) Brazil (3122) Brunei (233) Burkina Faso (47) Burundi (36) Cambodia (348) Cameroon

If you like Gibbard's voice, try finding an acoustic live recording of To Sing For You / Brand New Colony. It's gorgeous.

Haven't found time yet to edit my batch of photos in Lightroom, but here's a quick snapshot:
