THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS HMV FORUM.28.10.2010, originally uploaded by wheelzwheeler. London: Awoke in a car park behind the Forum. Grey, cold, damp. But London.

6am, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. A new song taking shape in the hotel room. A beautiful day. Cold as hell but clear and sharp and blue. A quick pint for Erika’s birthday and we’re on the bus to Manchester. Yogi gives me his ipod and i’m listening to the Beatles and getting ...
Nice Amps, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Awake to bright blue sunshine morning in Frome. A hilariously English breakfast situation with Bob, Rob, Paul and Mars that i can’t go in to except to say there was fire and.

Leaving…, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Bit of local exploring this morning. Winding steep streets and a particularly fancy hotel grounds. There’s a kitten who wants to follow us home; i consider cat smuggling. A little design work before we head to the venue and meet our new equipment and new crew. The ...
Bearsville, NY, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. These are warm up shows. But they are feeling good; playing Talk Talk Talk in it’s entirety is a great, deep feeling and the crowd seems to be with us the whole way. Despite some technical stuff for everyone and string break in So Run Down ...
Fairfield, CT, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. I didn’t take enough pictures. Must get back on that. Dumb Waiters was always a favourite of mine and tonight it feels monsterous as the opener of our first Talk Talk Talk show; exactly how it should. There was an edge there that stayed with us ...
