My phone rings. Odd…

Me: Heeelllo?
CJ: DID YOU HEAR THE BAD NEWS?!
Me: Huh?
CJ: …MEW’S BASSIST LEFT!
Me: Wait, that’s why you called me?
CJ: …

Oh, I love CJ. If not for him though, I would’ve found it through no snow. Johan is leaving to tend to his family, which is a perfectly good reason. There are letters from the band and Johan at mewsite.com. Aw. We shall miss him. And CJ will cry in a corner.

I have to admit, I wonder about musicians who tour all the time and have families…about how much they see their families. Then again, that’s not just musician-specific. I can speak from experience, hahaha, hahaha, HA HA HA…too much info.

For something happy, the end of the news bit says “Mew continue their touring and album promotion in Europe and will go to USA to promote the album in the summer. ” Emphasis mine. I think Mew is the only band right now that I reallllly want to see. After that, I can die a happy camper. Kinda.
