OMG! I'm actually playing Somewhere Only We Know!!! And my hand hurts like a mo-fo! I tried it on the piano actual again and... Like I said it was out of tune, it was distracting. So... I sent off emails... Inquiring about getting it fixed / tuned. I also found out my piano was born Oct 1979! It's a Kimball, Model 4520. Took piccies... I kinda like the pic, but I would have like to see more strings. I guess
this solves the argument... Personally, without calling it a keyboard, I always considered it a mixed string / percussion, but I guess it's really just the latter. Anyway, to write the emails, I popped open the piano. OMG! It's disgusting! I remember accidentally getting sand it there! But there were bugs... Eggs (or just the shells?). EW!!! I tried to vacuum it out, but... I can't get past the strings. :(
Speaking of emails... I emailed some eBay dude about the difference between Under The Iron Sea piano books. It's been... Almost a week and no answer. And why should I buy from him then? Seriously! Unfortunately it's the cheapest. Maybe I'll just ask the Keane boards?
Keane!
Amusing interview. My faves...
Q: What is the ultimate story of rock 'n' roll excess?
A: Tim: Who gives a f***? Not me.
Q: Which city would you pick for the next CSI television series?
A: Tim: London. Failing that, Columbia, SC. We went there on a tour of the States in November last year and spent most of our three days there bowling. Small-town crime is always the most interesting and shocking. People get bored, and bored people are dangerous.
A: Richard: What's CSI?!
Lol... That was bizarre... Listening to Keane of course... Song ends. Hear the next song playing... But in a distance... Then it starts playing on my computer. WHAT!?! It was an In Plain Sight commercial! HAHAHA!!!
In other news... Dr. L said movies are often better than the Broadway show. WHAT!?! He also said the money wasn't worth it. WHAT!?! OK... I mean, they were last row, $120 bucks... I told him about my discounts. He didn't even find 60 worth it. Whatever...
