[kj] Lastest Blog Post from Youth:

[bongo]

i reckon if they wanna postpone the album to do it justice - fair enough,
cant fault that!
but, the whole shambles of announcing a tour, selling tickets for a month or
three and then postponing, well, thats a bit of a fuck up.

also, going on what BPF was said, it sounds like he is in good spirits!
hopefully there remains no internal drama in the band, that would suck
bigtime - i am still hoping for a NZ show in 2012!!
(part of my resentment with KJ comes from knowing jaz is often here but
refuses to play... most annoying! )





"due to a lack of trained trumpeters, the end of the world has been
postponed indefinitely..."
