17.6.08 - Barcelona
The crew is running entirely on espresso today. I sneak along to the press conference in a nearby swanky hotel. When we get to the rather impressive and imposing foyer, there is a gent in a suit at a grand piano playing a lounge jazz version of Trouble. Given my level of sleep deprivation, it seems wonderfully twisted. Lord only knows how the band manage to be so affable and approachable throughout. The wit and good humour flows and soon the press conference is done. Just a gig to do and a flight back to London. See you at the BBC!

In our 3D video for Talk [only visible on HD], we played astronaughts landing on a distant planet.

Chris and I delivered the single to Steve Lamacq at Radio 1. We were nervous about the reaction, especially the texts and emails. I’m sure they hide the bad ones…

The trouble with outdoor gigs in the summer is the first half is in daylight, but by the end of the gig the atmosphere was brilliant. Thanks to everyone who waited around in the rain.

Will had turned into a zombie so Chris and I decided to do an interview to raise awareness. Guy didn’t turn up…
