POSTCARD FROM RAINY MOVIELAND

It has been a strange couple of days, with the main activities being waiting for it to stop raining and answering calls. Pushing everything back another hour, another day... it feels like Connemara. But then today, midafternoon, we had a dry spell and "ACTION"... we started filming a video that i would rather not say too much about. Let's just say it is a cross between a dance party, a Rube Goldberg contraption, a sprint, and a giant colorful jigsaw puzzle with a heavy math component. Oh yeah, and it is a pretty cool looking, very intricate, but spirited, music video for the song "Imitation Of Life".

Should be finished in a few weeks, and airing not long thereafter. The guys have also done a few interviews this week while in Los Angeles, talking to journalists from Sweden, England, and Australia. It is kind of fun to be back in this part of the cycle. The record is finished and will be coming out soon. Hoping for more dry hours tomorrow.

Peter and Scott are playing as Minus 5 tomorrow night in Los Angeles on their mini-tour.

All best,
Bertis
