Man, I am so tired today. Went and saw The Stranglers last night and they did not go on until 22.00. Which meant that they were done at midnight, at which time I walked to the subway and rode home, drank some water, had a sandwich and went to bed at about 1.00. I got up at 4.40 this morning and worked for 8 hours.
Man, I am so tired today.

Anyway, I love The Stranglers and have never seen them. But the problem is that the singer/guitarplayer Hugh Cornwell left the band in 1990 and they have not really been any good since then. So when I saw that they were coming to Sweden for the first time in 15 years I really felt that I wanted to see them but was not sure that I was willing to pay for it.
But they really surprised me, the band was tight as hell and the setlist pretty much perfect. Opened with Get a grip and played all the songs I wanted to hear Duchess, Peaches, No More Heroes, Tank, Nice N'Sleazy, Hanging Around, etc, etc.

Southland Tales
is on TV tonight and I am thinking about seeing it, but everyone I know that has seen it say that sucks so I am not so sure.
