Guess who's back? Back again, Hectors back, back again!

Oh the excitement that stems from my bordom, but who will read this beacause you all assumed it were dead - well guess what? IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!! rah!

So then what crap do I write on here then? eh? I dunno. I am not going to mention anybody of musical superiority, that's too obvious. Well, I wonder how long it will take folks to rediscover this fine site? Will they ever refill the hole that was left in their lives by my departure from the webbing world? I doubt it, it could be refilled if you rediscover my genius that I am leaving out here in the open for you all. I am counting on you. If we ever fallout, I want you to buy me a rasberry beret, the kind you find in a second hand store. OK?! Drops of Jupiter save the day and all you need is a little respect.

I wonder who will spot it.....no one, maybe Hannah....probably not!

2003-10-17T14:45:00.000Z

can't be bothered anymore......

2003-10-03T17:12:00.000Z

hmmm, I feel a cheese craving coming on, goddamnit! wrelly?! ;) yeh you know.....

oh and that reminds, I'm not fecking rewriting my coursework....it's meant to be a satire, stupid, so what if you don't understand, you know it's quality (or why did you give it good marks?!?!) !!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

2003-09-26T22:01:00.000Z

Sad as I am to say it, Charlie Colin has left Train. A Black Crowes bassist has taken over for now, but I'm going to miss the great Charlie...Hannah stroked him, and told him he was the man - see ya Charlie....

I still love Train and so should you!!! ;) best wishes!!! lol!

otherwise life is peachy.....ummmhmmm. perhaps I'll find some more Wiley pics to cheer me up, I love Wiley... :'( boohoo, Charlie's gone!!!!!!!!!

2003-08-30T13:44:00.000Z

I was there, were you? I think not.....

oh, but Wiley was there........

I think he enjoyed being harrassed by us.......

EDIT: oh yeah, and if you're going to come here, (and I know you do!) leave a comment, it's all I ask..... heheh!

2003-08-22T18:43:00.000Z

Train
Union Chapel, London
Friday 13 June 2003
rated ***

For one night only; US stadium giants squeeze inside a tiny London church.

The people of Islington - nice people in chinos and Chanel - are out in force tonight, and for good reason. Train, US AOR superstars, are playing to an audience of 600 when their record sales- Stateside, at least - suggest they should be playing stadiums. After almost seven years of constant touring, the San Franciscan quintet hit paydirt in 2001 with their single, Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me). It had Counting Crows and Matchbox Twenty looking over their shoulders, and Virgin Radio - whose playlist was invented for such anthems - rejoicing. To the bands new fans, Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) was an instant classic; when they play it tonight, the crowd will go politely mental. They will shout and cheer, and some will even stand in the aisle to dance a little.

Train got together on America's West Coast back in '94 and spent their early years playing the coffee house circuit once trodden by the likes of Suzanne Vega and Jewel. They dealt in earnest adult rock, and their '99 self-titled debut became a cult record among people with beards. Two years later, they released a second album and a new single, both called Drops Of Jupiter. Bingo:a million US sales, several hundred thousand in the UK.

"American radio ignored us for so long because they could," says singer Pat Monahan, shrugging sagely. "But when you write a song like Drops of Jupiter, they can't ignore you anymore. This has all felt like a hard-won battle. It's been a long slog to get here, and everyone of us has felt like quitting at some point."

Earlier this year, guitarist and founding member Rob Hotchkiss did just that. As a result of the promotional mill, his marriage began to suffer. Reluctantly, he relinquished one love in order to hold on to another.
"I don't blame him because it is a strain," says Monahan, himself a husband and father of two. "I make it work for me, but it takes effort." Last year they acquired the services of Bruce Springsteen's manager, John Landau, scooped a Grammy, and have just released their third album, My Private Nation. "Personal lives do suffer. Hell, the rest of the band are single because they don't have time for relationships. Things are too good to get out."

Monahan is fond of saying that if you don't see Train live, then you don't get the full picture of this band. He's not wrong. Tonight is their first live show in 18 months, and this becomes evident when the singer forgets the words, three numbers in, to She's On Fire. Conveniently, the audience is on hand with lyrical assistance- and they love Monahan. A handsome man in his mid-30s dressed in jeans - and sporting blusher to highlight his cheekbones - he is a Gap ad waiting to happen. If on record he sounds rather like Darius Rucker from Hootie & The Blowfish, onstage he is lithe and confident, mone redolent of The Black Crowes' Chris Robinson.

Their sound is a big one and it fills this tiny church with impassioned, unambiguously American songs. Monahan introduces them with the gravitas of a presidential speech, his lyrical inspiration, he says, about love and friendship, the ties that bind, the fight for a better world. A shtick, undoubtedly, but a successful one: the crowd holler for Calling All Angels, and visibly crinkle during the closer Your Every Color, a ballad bigger than most.

The mood backstage afterwards is sedate but content. Train's many trips to the UK have informed them that not everyone will draw excitement from their music, but really - no really - they couldn't care less.
"We're a fucking good band whether or not we have a crazy image," Monahan insists. "OK, we're not Marilyn Manson, and I don't have sweet tits like Britney Spears, but c'mon, I don't need them do I?"
Drummer Scott Underwood, seated next to him and already on his third beer, appraises the singer's chest. "You do have sweet tits," he counters. But he jests. They're nothing special.

Classic Rock Magazine
Express Yourself!

On the verge of becoming 'the first great classic rock band of the new millennium', the San Franciscans deliver a set that will make even their harshest critic eat their words.

Train - Union Chapel, London

When we last jumped on board the Train, the quintet who'd begin their career in the coffee houses of San Francisco were speaking their roots and their hopes for the future.

Weaned on countrymen like Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Cheap Trick, plus Zeppelin, Genesis and The Beatles, Train had once been turned down by the corporation that eventually signed them (Sony). Indeed, the band's second album, "Drops of Jupiter" had left them poised on the verge of becoming the first great classic rock band of the new millennium.
Fast forward, 16 months and that prediction is about to come true: "When it was announced we'd won our Grammy, my first reaction was to laugh. - I buckled over really hard," confides drummer Scott Underwood of the award Train received last year for the Best Rock Song. "It was such a shock. U2 were in the front row looking up at us. It was surreal. We didn't even expect to be nominated."

Three and a half million sales of the "Drops Of Jupiter" album later, and the dangerous flipside is that Train could become the 'band that wrote that nice ballad on the radio'. Pat Monahan nods, "The issue of a song becoming bigger than the band is something we need to tackle, but we're confident of overcoming it."
As a million cliche-ridden interviews will justify, bands always believe their latest record to be their best. In Train's case, it happens to be true. "My Private Nation' might lack a focal point as good as '...Jupiter', but it's a better album. Affirming the singers belief in the material. Train later got to play eight new songs at their Union Chapel gig: the reaction of the sold out audience is vindication of the bands belief.

The first show in 18 months inevitably reveals the old patch of rust - Monahan forgets the words to '...Jupiter' favourite. 'She's On Fire' and the group laugh and begin the song again - but the delivery is otherwise slick and purposeful. Newies 'My Private Nation' and 'Save The Day' start the show with hook-laden, earthy grittiness, and (false start aside) the metronome swagger of "She's On Fire" is Train at their best.
A courageous mid-set medley of Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On' and Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" pays homage to the group's roots as do the decidedly Bad Co-like harmonies of the new single, "Calling All Angels"
A former Church, Union Chapel is a picturesque setting for a concert, but respect is due any band able to overcome it's horrendous boombox acoustics. For awhile, Jimmy Stafford's guitar is robbed of both separation and volume - it almost feels like you are watching TV with the sound turned down. But the set ebbs and flows beautifully, and when Train finally gives the signal, "Drops Of Jupiter" incites a mass sing along, setting the seal on a night of comes, well deserved triumph.
Monahan does not seem like a vindictive or excessively boastful man, but earlier that day he'd told me about the first of a number of journalists who will ultimately be forced have to eat their words: "USA Today did a whole article about how "Drops Of Jupiter" would cause this particular Train to derail.", he recalls with a grimace. "A year after their horrible album review, just as we were heading for the Grammies, the same woman ended up coming to interview me. It was the ultimate justice - Now she had to pay attention."

THANK YOU CLASSIC ROCK!!!!

"Why you gotta treat me like I'm a low down dirty/ Climbin' up on thirty/ Dress like a kid to make me feel young punk/ And talk junk/ You musta fell out of your bunk/ And smacked your head/......or your face or something...."

2003-07-08T21:39:00.000Z

Yes the rumors are true, Coops has departed from the blogging world, in fact I only wonder how long it is before she descends into a new world........her name will be kept here to honour her memory (plus I can't be arsed to change it). Rest in peace Cooper, Rest in peace ........ she will be dearly missed.....

.....yeh right like she ever did anything on here anyway, shes not gone anywhere i'm just not letting her on here anymore!

EDIT : damn...forgot to say... I FINALLY GOT THE TRAIN ALBUM!!!!! god knows it took long enough!! oh yea and I did change the name...bitch ;)

2003-06-26T19:39:00.000Z

They've done something to my blog and being stupid as I am, its going to take me weeks to get my head round it but here goes anywho....

So - TRAIN WAS SO FANTASTIC!!!!!! I haven't posted about it yet, but I'm going to now. The show they put on was amazing, mixing classics such as Meet Virginia, Drops of Jupiter and Respect with the new album...I kinda knew some of the songs but there was a lot of doubt about how they would sound live, but they were awesome! The new album is great and even better live, any doubts were dismissed after the first few chords of the title track My Private Nation. Highlights of they show were; She's on Fire (Pat forgot the words - I didn't, i tried to shout them to him but he couldn't hear), Meet Virginia (stopped half way through for Pat to comment on the fact we were drinking beer in a church), Ramble on and Drops of Jupiter (well...obviously...) and of course all tracks off the new album stood out too!!!
Shall I tell you what they were wearing? Perhaps not, that might seem obsessive....check out these pictures. though. (Union Chapel - 6/13/03)

One picture has to go here though......Hannah (the jammy bugger) and the great Mr Patrick Monahan, a man of fantastic vocal talent....but you can just see my ear in the pic!! WooT!

The highlight of our evening......meeting the guys afterwards, oh my god they were just so cool! Got their autographs and are treasuring them greatly! They were great! Jimmy told us where they were going to party too, he was so cool and Scot was eating an orange...he has such a cool tattoo on his hand!! AHHHHHHH!

ahem anyway, sure you didn't read all that, but I enjoyed writing it!!!!!!! lol! SORRY!!!
love Hev xxx

Me and Hannah are going to see Train on June 13th, and Train's new album comes out in a week. I am not at all overexcited.........but i might be able to fit a little WooTWooT in somewhere!!!! WooT WooT!

Oh you know what, I've suddenly decided i hate the Foo's and their music because they are too commercial...yeah whatever! that type of attitude really pisses me off! Not just with the Foo's (coldplay too!) I only use them as an example cos I love the music they make. I've liked them since there's nothing left to lose and now all of a sudden after 1x1 people who have been fans for years have decided they're "too commercial". If you enjoy a bands music, surely their popularity has nothing to do with anything. People will go off it as soon as its not "fashionable" anymore any way! So if you want to be different to the majority, instead of setting fire to CDs that once were your faves and do something really special like kill yourself or something! grrrrr!

Phew thank god i got that off my chest! We got our V tickets by the way! YEY!

2003-02-25T22:27:00.000Z

Question: Why does cooper never post? Has anyone seen her recently? Is she alive? hmmm yes...i thought as much... well the search is on and there may be a reward in store for the first person to come forward with any information (maybe!)

Anyways, i gotta tell you that you absolutly have to go and see the Foos in action cos they really were awesome!!! Oh my god i still cant believe i was hardly 50feet from the man himself...wow!

2002-10-13T20:33:00.000Z

GRRRR!!! I am very angry! we have been locked in cos apparently the weather in too bad and "dangerous" for us to go outside - so no-one is alowd out and no-one is alowd in, its not fair!!!! We're all going to burn in the fire thats now bound to happen....im scared...hehe!!! The smokers are all going crazy too cos the can't get out, tee hee!! so anyway, aside from the fact that i'm pissed off, today has been dull..like all the rest!! i'll find something to keep you entertained though!! Maybe Coops can find something better to say when she posts.

I got the A Knights Tale sound track t'other day, and its well good!! it has a train song on it that i don't already have (!!!!) and its not even in the film, i was so excited!!! Also it has a track by third eye blind who i'd never heard of but have now decided are the best thing since corry...lol! (ye who understand, will understand!!) won't ramble on (huh! thats the title of the train song..whooa!) for as long as yesterday sorry, that was rather ott!! This is for your amusement oh and keep the comments coming....:D

K i'll take over from here (coops) hopefully this post won't be as long as the last!! Deigo's right we are boardering on the length of his essays!!! ah well. I'm also tres p-ed off with the whole lets keep all the boarders trapped thing , i'snot fair!!!!! Don't think i'm gonna be able to live up to Hev's comment 'Maybe Coops can find something better to say when she posts' as i have also done bugger all today..... but tbh what can you do here on a wet day (an suggestions would be much appreciated!!!!!).
Have just downloaded one of Hev's old favourites 'Pink- Aerosmith' and have become obbsessed, it is a classic song!!!!
'I want to be your lover
I want to wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Coz pink is my favourite crayon...'
and has the most random lyrics!!! Definitely worth a listen!!!!

Anyway i'm shatterd due to our all night talking sesh, so its time to go off for a nice cup of tea, piece of toast, bath then bed. (God what boring lives we lead).
Night Night

2002-10-12T21:45:00.000Z

Ok so now the basics are sorted i think its about time for our 1st proper post.
Didn't do very much today except go to barnstable and faff about on the internet. Barnstable trip was quite good Hev bought a new pink top to match her lovley belt and shoes and I finally got my long awaited Birthday present from her!! which is nice! sat about in Cafe Culture for about an hour as per usual, really was quite dull!! nothing very interesting ever happens in Barnstaple! Our trip to Bide tonight was cancelled in favour of...urmmm..i hate to say it, but...this, yes we don't have lives. Lets laugh at the lads, losing rugby..again...oh well better luck next time! ;) Its early nights here tonight, boys got chucked out a whole half hour early, WTF?!!! that rather annoyed me!
tee hee! gotta laugh at coops too!! Still not given up the cancer sticks, shes had about 6 in the last hour!!! nah not really just since lunch! whats the bet on how many she'll smoke tomorrow, or even how many years she's got left?!
Oooh apparently they've put the heating on, can't tell though (yes random i know, but it matters!). The little ones have stolen my "purple shoesies" (as they like to call them, even though they're pink) and refuse to give them back, ahh booo!! i'm crying inside..teehee! yes news about pink shoes matters too, and will become amajor feature of this site, prehaps we could have a daily quiz of "where are the pink shoes?", how'd you fancy it?
k, i think this is enough bollox for you to handle up to now, but coops wants more soooo...urrmmm..no thats it.
i'm going to bed cos i've been looking at a computer screen since 3pm and my eyes hurt....omg i've become the person i used to(stressed-USED TO) take the mick out of, shame. Coops is gonna do another all nighter on the work, quelle suprise! oh but before that its time for marmite on toast, YEYYYYYY!!!! My mate, Marmite!!
Now that really is it, night night all!! xxxx (leave lots of comments, its fun!!)

We would just like to make an offical apology to one Mr Jeremy Sinden for everything insulting we have ever said to him about his computing skills. We now realse just how difficult it really is to create a website and understand the wierd language thingy (html- we think). Sorry m8!!! Feel free to visit his blog (once dubbed "pointless, boring and crap" by 2 lesser beings otherwise known as........me and her!) : What we aspire to.
Anyway off now to learn some more computer language, watch this space for more updates!!!!!!!
