Uncle Monkey 7:52AM
Its the present, reminiscent of the past somehow...
I'm sitting in a small Irish pub off Courtenay place. Theres no Dan here, sitting in the corner smoking and talking about whatever, no Martin up dancing with a thrashing crowd, but theres Uncle Monkey, looking a little older and a little fatter but still the same old same old. The drummer still reminds me a hell of a lot like bitter Glenn. The music is still of high quality but a its a lot like Simon and Garfunkle. Just a little old. But you've got to hang in there. Every night they'll throw in a couple of good songs, a Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows, Pearl Jam, Radiohead or Red Hot Chilli Peppers song and its awesome. This time they did Paranoid Android from OK Computer and it put cold shivers down my back. Things have changed though. I remember there being lots of people there listening to the music and by the end of the night everyone would be up dancing on the dance floor. Its true I didn't stay till the end of the night but still it seemed a little empty compared to what I remember. Maybe its no longer as cool as it used to be? I'll have to go back for another listen sometime...
