Are Friends Electric
Or Gary Numa-Numa as we now call him....anyway...he was fantastic! He is going his 50th birthday tour and have been playing all the songs from the Replicas album. Now first off, I have always liked a few Numan songs here and there, I have seen him once before when he had the exile album out (i think that was what it was called) and he was playing with Sulphur. It got too guitarr wanky for me sounded a bit like he wanted to be NIN. That gig was many years ago, but I have never bought any albums or dived that much deeper into the music, but I have always liked his odd voice. And of course "are friend electric". When I first met Steve back in 98, we ended up at some Cafe down around totenham court road in the middle of the night, and this song came on the radio. I had never heard it before and Steve told me what it was, being a Blade Runner fan I liked the title and enjoyed the song. A few days later when I visited his house he played the song to me and I guess since then that has been our song.

On the day of the london bombings I remember the song coming on random on my MP3 player and I skipped it and felt guilty for some reason, got on the tube, and then got pulled of the Tube a few stops later, when we heard there had been some kind of explosion at kings cross. Not knowing what had happened I called Steve and found out he was at the office and ok. But before I got a hold of him that strange feeling that I had cut off our song was in the back of my head. Very silly I know, but that whole day was just very surreal.

Yesterday when Numan played that song I seemed to get some crap in my eyes, maybe some sand or something flew into the venue i don't know, but the tears started dripping :P

Sentimental stuff over. The gig was very good I enjoyed it, I was very happy we had seats instead of standing though as I was really knackered.

The O2 or the dome as it used to be was quite nice, we went and had some food first, at some burger joint, the chicken burger I had was very dry had problems swallowing it, hehe it got stuck at the back of my throat, but apart from that, it was ok.

Right now I need to do laundry, go shop, do some keywording, clean a bit and maybe go a bit of a workout if there is enough time!

oh and btw...how the **** could BWO not win!!! Why do the swedes always vote for the bimbo, have they heard how she sings??? Or are they too busy looking at her miniskirt and tits?
