You! should be driving the Dan. Youve got your drivers liscense dont you?, To my mind ANY ex Mcartney skinsman could kick the Dan around the country .

Do you have enough sofas in that new place of yours to put up a 10-piece band?

Yes....sort of.....in that the World Party don't currently exist, but will presumably arise like a phoenix in time for September.
Look, it's nearly 5 months away so anything could happen. 
I've been asked if I want to do it and I've replied positively.

The waiting game sucks. Unless you said something positive about Robbie Williams' "Angels," I can't imagine them not asking you to tour your own country. They've already punished you by forcing you to tour America, where a bloke can't even get a decent cup of tea. Now you should get the reward!

Not to drag out this thread unnecessarily, but I'd be terrified of having Becker/Fagen over to my house. I'd be afraid of ending up in one of their songs, as some inside joke between the two. And I would never know it ... but I might ponder the lyrics of X new song. Something like this ...

In case you're wondering it's alive and well
That little habit that you left with me
Here in the suburbs where it's hard to tell
If I got the bear or if the bear got me
How did you know that it would take me down
Down to the bottom of the wine dark sea
Where you were waiting there to bring me 'round
Where you knew all the dopest cuts to be

Drowned at the bottom of your mystery
Down in the bottom of the wine dark sea

Chris,I have met Keith a couple of times, interviewed him for another internet site. He is a cool guy to talk to. I didnt have trouble with his accent. But I`m southern bred also, New Yorker by choice.
 Do you guys have grits over there? He likes grits.
If you want to have a little fun with him,ask him if he has ever locked his keys in his car.
ps, the Talkhouse has a good soundman now, just in case you guys play there again.
I hope you do.
