The following is an extract from 2D*s diary as featured in UK dance music magazine Seven, September 26th 2001:

‘We left Heathrow on August 15th. Murdoc was green and sick and ill He hadn't slept the night before cos he hates flying so he was shitting himself He acts all tough, but he's easily scared\

Hoodie just took the fast Fed-Ex crate home. Same way she arrived\ It was a long flightfor us, 13 hours. But I just watched the in-flight movies. They showed Tim Burtons new remake of 'Terris Buellers Day Off . Its good, but even though all the costumes are better, you cant really beat the original .'

"This was our first ever gig in Japan. The concert promoter herded the audience into the centre of the room and then surrounded them with a cattle pen. The gig was just mental\ hut weirdly these kids just stopped dead at the end of each song and politely dapped[ apart from one kid who threw some cabbage at Murdoc.

\Noodle was treated like some homecoming queen, but maybe shes just got a lot of mates there. I thought when we played “Punk” they were going to explode and “Soundcheck (gravity) " was so good l cotdd see kids crying ; 1 think the kids in Japan really understand where were coming from. / think they see so many arsey bands go over there acting like big boring rock stars , instead of giving them something really adventurous\ that they re really open to it *
