You're creative, right? I mean, you use fisheye lenses, don't you? And didn't you write out your last birthday party invitations (to a vegan cookie tasting at a lofted art gallery) in haiku trains?

The line on Harcourt Street in Dublin is what you’d expect for a midweek rock show. Serious looking young men mostly, almost everyone in their late twenties and early thirties, black wool overcoats and messenger bags and a distinct sense that everyone has come straight from work. Three guys in front of me share a joint, and the short feature interview with Thurston in that morning’s Metro news
