An open letter to A:

Dear A.

On Wednesday 9th December, 2009, myself and my friend Tom attended your concert at the Islington Academy in Angel.

Being quite a big fan in the late 90s, I was very excited to, lets say, relive my youth.

Firstly, Kids In Glass Houses suck and do not know how to respond to hecklers. Please educate them when mastering their new album which will, no doubt, be rubbish not through any fault of yours, Jason. They are just not a good band musically .. You can't polish a turd and all that.. (if you could also ask them to stop raping that Glassjaw song, that would be grand, thanks.).

Secondly, Jason Perry, you have not aged in the past 10 years and I would like to know your secret.

And finally, and my most important point:
I loved your band and have many awesome memories watching you live. I had been very excited about the show. I thought you guys played very well, and played some songs that I loved, especially the tracks off "A Vs Monkey Kong". BUT I am one of the older generation of A fans, and "How Ace are Buildings?" still gets heavy rotation on my ipod. So imagine my surprise when, at the end of the show, I realize that we were only going to get Foghorn played live. Disappointed is too tame a word to describe how i felt. GUTTED was more like it.

I will say this though. It has been a long time since I have been at a show that was so much fun that my good mood flows over to the next day. I DID spend your whole set grinning.

So I am requesting you do another tour, and play songs only off your first 2 albums as I would really like to see you do "No1" one last time.

Thank you,

M x

PS. This song was the best part of the whole set (minus foghorn of course).
