Yeah well, I'm on a Business Trip now so pretty much everything is payed by the company.

Back then, I was on Erasmus, so my I had some financial aid from my home university that paid me the rent for 5 months and the plane ticket. I'm not that rich.

I'm going to Goa next week, then Delhi, Agra/Taj Mahal and shit... We were thinking about renting a hotel suite in front of the Taj Mahal. That'd be awesome but it'd kill me financially.

And yeah Casey, I didn't know what to expect when I entered the music stores (Planet M and Landmark) when I asked them for your album. The younger clerks knew of you right away while the older weren't sure. I was surprised that you guys were "that" known. No offense or anything.

I made my friends here listen to your stuff and they also really liked it. So if we find a store somewhere, you'll have about 20 more copies sold. I want 5% of your Mumbai sales from now on.

Damn, Planet M sold out? I know for a fact the label sent them a ton of stock. That's good news. Since we haven't had a sales report from EMI yet, we're kind of in the dark as to how well it's doing. If Planet M is sold out, it must be doing well. Awesome.

It was the Planet M in the Phoenix Mall... I'll go to ones not that accessible, hope they have some left.

LOL. What tracks did you play them?

Regarding how well we're known.....I mean, it's really difficult to say for me because obviously I can't be objective about it, but I know I get a ton of emails from fans in India. There was an hour-long documentary about us on TV in India recently that I've never even seen. Some guys from a big channel came to London a couple of years ago to film us for it.

I imagine the younger store clerks probably watch MTV a lot so they'd probably know us from there. I know at one stage one of our music videos was getting played on MTV as much as once every hour. It's definitely one of our core markets alongside the UK and various pockets of N.America. Still, we really need to expand on that with the next album. I feel we're at the tipping point for much bigger things with the new album we're making right now.

For some reason thinking about Casey being big in India reminded me of this song.


Not that you're only big in India, but that just came to mind. lol
