A SDIR post is always a great way to start the day. Especially one that evokes masses of excitement.

The end of this post has me somewhere between emotional and a bit sick realising it’s been 20 years. Going to go be in denial for a bit (with the most love, of course)

I dunno about Operation Deep Listeners. Considerate as it is to play for the dead, I think the ghosts are sorted for music. Not being bound by the physics of this earthly realm they can be anywhere, any time listening to all the music, all the time and have no means to pay for it (unless that's where Crypto comes from 👀). I propose Operation Back to the Future; buy a DeLorean, employ an eccentric professor to make the necessary alterations and extend the lattice beyond the dimensions of present time. QM foreverrrr!

If Operatuon Deep Liteners is a success I worry about how the gigs would work with the new fanbase. Would coffins be stacked or left in the coat room? What if they wanted to crowd surf? The WAS insurance premium would rocket.

Good point. I can envisage those of the spirit world hovering amongst us fuss free, pretty sure I've already seen some vampires quietly attending WAS gigs. The zombie invasion and skeleton army could be a lot to accommodate. Good luck lattice logistics👍

I think if anyone can pull this off, it would be lattice logistics.

Having a new WAS album and a couple of WAS shows to look forward to really does help to combat the numbing horror of this world.

Just here to once again beg on my knees (ok, I’m standing, I’m old) for some Irish dates at some point - we miss you! ❤️

Ugh, now I'm just longing for the 2005 aesthetic something fierce. Peak fashion.

How long should I hold my breath until you announced some west coast dates instead, hmm?
