Pavement reform!

It has just come to my attention that the band Pavement are reforming for some shows in 2010. This is, like, amazing. Seriously. Pavement. ;D

In other news, Steve and I are currently in the town of Potosi. Once home to the biggest supply of silver anywhere in the world ever, this has now dried up, yet mines in the Cerro Rico continue. We took a trip down the mines this morning to have a look at what´s going down. Here´s what we observed.

Miners drink before going down...this drink is 96% alcohol. It would have been rude of us to refuse to try some...

Dynamite is very cheap to buy. Just under 2 english pounds for a stick and a fuse. It would have been foolish of us not to buy some...

It´s quite hard to breathe in the mines. It´s quite hard to move in the mines. It´s quite hard to do anything there. 70 metres down on the lowest level, we met and spoke with a miner, then had a go at doing his job. Would not like to do that for 9 hours a day for 6 bolivianos (roughly 60p) per kilo extracted. No sirree bob.

Climbing out of the mine (on ones stomach) is even worse than going down.

This hellishness was compensated by blowing up the aforementioned dynamite.

Twas fun.

Photos when I find a place that will let me upload them.

What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy (I know him, and he does), then you´re my fact checkin´cuz...
