I've just received unbelievably good news from my friend Bruno in Brazil. For those of you who might not remember, he's a friend of mine who works as a music reviewer for the magazine Trip. Well... he sent me an e-mail asking if I would like to go to Beth Gibbon's show this saturday. Free tickets for Kevin and I, take same photos, perhaps talk to her.

Beth Gibbons is the singer from Portishead. I love Portishead. I`m petrified. What am i going to ask her?

"Is Portishead going to release anything soon? Are you planning on touring Brazil?"

Those are good questions, aren't they? I'm hopping this works out. The last time, when he asked me to review a gig by The Hives, i never got the tickets... he says I just need to write a little review, similar to the one I did for Morcheeba.

(i`m grinning like an idiot...)

*slaps face a couple of times*

Get a grip Ollie!

don't you miss some sunshine? or do you get it on your days off?

Re: too rad!

oh man I miss it so much and I've lost my tan. I'm so lucky I have a little natural color cos if not I would be so sad. I get some in the weekend but it's not like there is much sun in this country.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-03-01 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
yea... but when you go back to TX, you will have all the sun in the world.

Do you know what type of job you want to get back home?

oh for sure!!


I really don't know .. I know for sure something really low key .. and something late night like news paper stuff. I was also thinking of going to school for some computer stuff but me and school aren't very good friends so I'll have to see about that. :D

Haven't heard any solo stuff, but I lived musically on Portishead for a few years...

Me too. Sounds like our work is cut out for us.

Re:

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2003-03-06 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
you mean it's not cut out? cause it will be too difficult?

Re:

[identity profile] soopahiro.livejournal.com 2003-03-06 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
Our work is cut out, meaning we have a lot of work set up for us.
