Mix-CD

If you're a mix-cd junkie, well, it's that time of year once again! Mmmhmm. Time to bring out your mad mixing skills and make a CD for a fellow Tegan and Sara fan.

If you're interested in receiving a CD:

Send me an e-mail or message including:
(1) Your name and postal address.
(2) Will you ship internationally?
(3) Will you send a second CD if someone flakes out or we end up with an odd number of people participating?

The CD itself:
- No theme (i.e. random non-T&S rockin' music).
- No limit on the amount of songs.
- Please include a track listing.

I will collect addresses until April 9, 2008. I will exchange addresses shortly after.

European Tour (2008)

Tegan and Sara hit up Europe in early 2008.

They played in: Brighton, Leeds, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Cardiff, London, Munich, Heidelberg, Hamburg, Cologne, Copenhagen, Malmö , Stockholm, Gothenburg, Berlin, Brussels, Paris, and Amsterdam. Whew.

The tour began with an arrival in the UK around ten or eleven o'clock in the morning. Tegan fell asleep around five o'clock. The result? Someone woke up sobbing hysterically after a bizarre dream. What an awesome start, eh?

They responded to the NME article. Which can pretty much be summed up as: "Suck my cock."

The Tegan and Sara crew and Northern State shared a bright yellow double decker bus. Unfortunately, the original bright yellow bus broke down and they had to get a replacement.

Tegan started sporting the pony tail. Sara noted, "Tegan looks like me two years ago."

Tegan shared the art of creating a set list.

Sara disappointed some ladies in the audience by announcing that marriage is not for her.

The "slutty" Irish tried to get them to take it off.

Tegan shared a random fun fact with the audience: she once had a phobia involving making phone calls.

Sara also shared a random fun fact about herself: she entered a pickle eating contest.

Sara threatened an assmonkey after s/he threw a bottle on the stage.

Tegan dedicated a song to all the boys she dated in high school.

Sara shared that Shaun has super powers.

Tegan asked the audience to maybe not scream like crazies during Soil Soil.

They talked about their Mom and Dad.

Sara chatted about her interactions with a certain French speaking waiter.

They sang Walking With A Geist in Hamburg.

Tegan read a poem in Malmo.

Sara got in touch with her inner hippie when she noted that the Swedish look good in a "spiritual sort of way."

Tegan talked about all of the other countries they want to go to.

In Stockholm, Sara talked about owning Nick Cage.

Colorful balloons found their way on the stage in Berlin.

Their guitar tech had a heart attack inside.

Tegan tried to tell a story about riding the bus but fighting audience members distracted her.

In Brusssels, Tegan thanked the whole touring entourage.

Sara had the band demonstrate how to be a good audience.

Johnny's family came out to see them play.

Tegan talked about the last time they were in Paris. And then...Sara had to get all mean mommy with misbehaving audience members.

They finished the tour in Amsterdam.

The Random:

They entertained us with Backstage Bilingual.

The Screaming Song Requesting Fans were still screaming like crazy monkeys:
  • Tegan responded in Brighton.
  • Tegan talked about the balancing of playing songs you love/hate.
  • In Nottingham, Tegan encouraged people to yell songs.
Items were thrown on stage: Undies, bottles, glow in the dark bracelets, drawings, etc.

Tegan showed off some new ink.

Bye.

Interview with Tegan

"What is your favorite track off of the latest record, The Con? Quin: To play live, I love “Are You Ten Years Ago” because it’s such a massive beast. It took us a while to figure out how to play it live, but we have managed to make it even bigger than the recording of it." (read full article).
'"We don't actually have a name, which is kind of funny," Tegan tells Spinner. "We wanted to call it Tegan vs. Hunter but we both have projects and bands, obviously, with our names already. So we were kind of like, 'I don't know what we're going to call it.' We're slowly working on a record. I'm really inspired by it, but it's hard to get it done in between tours.'" (read full article).
