popular music

I was just looking back on the two nights of live music, Portishead in HMH Amsterdam on Monday (simply marvelous) and dEUS in Doornroosje on Tuesday (very loud, lots of attitude but where's the magic gone?). Seeing these bands and their audiences, I couldn't help thinking about this record we've made. Will we sell out Doornroosje one day? Will we be loved? Misunderstood? Overlooked? Maybe some journalist at some magazine will say our album is rubbish. We'll try not to care, but of course we'll do. At this point, everything is possible. Let's hold on to that thought and stay optimistic.
