Christopher Lydon just emailed me and told me that he owes me dinner.
I think I'm going to die.

Hi There Guys,

I saw you play at the London Astoria with Nine Inch Nails and I just wanted to say how impressed I was. You guys really rocked and I think there was a lot of people in the crowd who really appreciated you aswell.

I know you are up for a bunch of shows again over here in the Summer, the Patti Smith/Brecht show at RFH and Glastonbury, Festivals in Hyde Park and Download but will you be treating us to your own show here in London?

Plus, my friend is doing the Patti Smith show and was wondering what your set will comprise of... covers or your own stuff?

PS I loved the Morning Becomes Eclectic set aswell, you did "backstabber" aswell as the astoria show, where can I get that? Is there another album that I do not know about?

The album is beautiful also, please come and see my blog if u have time. xx

"I saw you Saturday night in Chicago, and thought you were absolutely amazing and breathtaking... when you came on stage I couldn't wait for you to get off so Trent could come on, but once you started playing, I found myself wishing you'd never get offstage. I went out and bought the CD the next day. Incredible, I'm not even kidding. You were one of the best live acts I've seen in a long time. So... thank you."

I absolutely feel the same way.

I took my friend to go see your show at Northern Lights for her birthday and she bought your live album. We discussed that particular song for a good portion of the ride home. It’s such a brave expression, the perfect juxtaposition of confidence and vulnerability. Beautiful.
Anyway I saw you at Hammerstein last night as well. Just want to express my deep love and appreciation for your music, humor, and intellect. Oh and the fact that you dig Arcade Fire just won you brownie points like whoa in my book. Not that you needed them of course.

Be well.

I'm not sure why you allow some posts comments and some not but I was happy to find you blog...I've been listening to DD for the past...when was the NIN Chicago show again? I'm blurred...well since then when before the show I was told not to expect anything great from DD then I was sitting there and they start to play..(you start to play) and I think I said "Damn" like 20 times, I was...very impressed. anyway, good luck in your artistic adventures, i love what I've heard so far, which isn't A LOT. Girl Anachronism rocks my face off though.

Dear Amanda,
I don’t have any idea if you are going to read this comment, being from a previous post... Anyway, maybe you do. My name is Maria and I had the chance to see you live in México City last Thursday. I not a NIN fan but I work for a kind of newspaper from another city and I went to review the concert. I have to say that I didn’t knew you existed, but before the concert I went and bought your cd, and the songs I could hear on my way to the Palacio de los Deportes leave me breathless. I was kind of curious to se Trent, but you guys made my day. After NIN, I had to get back to my car, cause I left it outside the parking lot and I was kind of afraid someone would steal it (u know, is Mexico city...) so I couldn’t go to see you signing autographs. Nevertheless, I’m very happy I had the opportunity to se you on stage. If you ever want to come back to Mexico, on a "pleasure trip", you have a house waiting for you.
I’m very impressed with you work, and your writing is amazing. I decided to post this comment instead of writing you by email because I think is a little more personal (running the risk that you would never read it).
I’m 27, a translator and I studied philosophy, so if you ever need some Mexican girl to work with u or a friend, ill be delighted.
Good luck!
A kiss, maría
