Today however, apart from feeling a little sore and tired I am hangover free and ready to go to my job interview this morning. I'm still not 100% on what it is I want to say there and will probably try and have a few things on hand to come out with but I think i'm gonna just going to take it as it comes anyway.

I usually do that for interviews. The way I look at it is...if I can't come up with something impressive/relevant on the spot, then why should I have the job? After all, you'll be winging it for the most part while you are actually working. I guess that depends on your job, though. Maybe this is flawed logic, but it has worked for me.

Spent most of it reading a website about anomalies in Beatle recordings. Mostly it was unbelievably tedious but there was a few interesting little things.

Wow.
I'm shocked to see Dinosaur Jr playing Bug though, J. Mascis doesn't like it much.

I know. That's why it's even more special, it's my favourite album as well. This is such good news.

What's the deal with so many bands just performing one album in its entirety live? Slint did it back in 2007 with Spiderland and I know Built to Spill did in in 2008 with Perfect from Now On. I'm not really complaining too much, The Soft Bulletin is my second favourite album by The Flaming Lips, but I hope that they play MORE than just that album. If they're not then it kind of sucks for fans who prefer other albums and want to hear songs off the rest of their discography.

Well, it's an album show after all so I don't really think people should go into it wanting any more than just the album. It's a 14 track album too (well, 12 if you don't include the Race For The Prize and Waitin' For A Superman mixes) so really they COULD get another 2-4 tracks in there as generally, Flaming Lips sets are usually around 15/16 songs long, but again I wouldn't ever expect it.. it'd just be a bonus.

Well, i think i would like to maybe put more thought into it if it was an interview for something I wasn't too experienced in, familiar with or knowledgeable about. Maybe just have a few things ready to talk about or questions or ask etc but yeah, i don't often do this. I didn't today and I am confident that it went very well.

Of course, i may not get the job. But if i don't then I really don't think that it will be because i interviewed poorly.
