Today is my birthday and I am happy to be in Madison, Wisconsin, which locals tell me is the home of the squeaky cheese, whatever that means. I am 33, but I swear I look 19, I think I'm getting younger and more stupid as life goes on
This morning we played a set on Minneapolis Public Radio which was great fun, they had a Steinway grand piano that Mel loved, and even I could tell as I had a little tinkle on the ivories that it was a beautiful instrument.
Beach House are playing their last song as I write and seem to be going down well with the crowd. I am a little sad that we have only seven more shows in the US, it's passed like a dream, but I did use my van time to get my teeth into "Mason and Dixon" by Thomas Pynchon, which only really kicks off around page 350 in my opinion. Well cheers, I will end this exhibitionism and have a gin and tonic, after all i actually have an excuse to get drunk this evening.

I thouroughly enjoyed your brilliant set last night at the High Noon Saloon. My only complaint
was that is was too short. Cheers to you on your birthday, I`m a Gemini twin as well!

So thank you and we LOVE you!!!

I have read the first half of mason/dixon about three times in my life. i always end up chucking it across the room. i really liked "against the day", though.

i will probably post some of the best paragraphs from mason and dixon when i get home. it's really good if you persevere with it, although there's no way i would have got through it without some convenient 8 hour drives across the usa
happy 33! Missed your show in SF because of a broken foot but I enjoyed listening to the new album while crutching around town...hope your remaining days in the 'States are pleasant.
