Together is coming May 4

[Patrick]

And it's a corker. Yeah, I would say that, but then again, I am saying it.

Aw, crumbs. I thought maybe you'd posted a teaser mp3 today. It's johansen's birthday after all. If not for us, do it for him!

[Red Medicine]

Hopefully it sounds more like Twin Cinema than the last one.

[Fiona]

Patrick: stump up that mp3 post-haste. Le de thoil.

Red Medicine, why do you say that?
I've never understood why some folk feel that Challengers is inferior to Twin Cinema. As far as I'm concerned Challengers is absolutely the equal of anything that came before it... I always felt it was a brilliant successor to Twin Cinema, with more complex, ambitious but no less perfect songs.

It's not a fun pop record

I didn't always, but one day I clicked with the record or the record clicked with me and ever since then it's been a beautiful romance.

If you’re looking for an album that sounds like Twin Cinema, might I suggest Twin Cinema?

It certainly is at 7:30am when I'm getting ready for work and belting along to every song.

Patrick, I stand over my suggestion of compiling a New P's karaoke dvd as a BEGN extra.

[Fiona]

Patrick - in relation to the 7" you're bundling with pre-orders: will this be available separately?

I ask because I'd like to buy locally if possible. I was able to get the Fucked Up 7" that was bundled with the Couple Tracks pre-order close to home.

[Patrick]

Fiona - it will not (should not) be, and I don't think UK are doing it at all.

[Fiona]

Thanks. $$$ it is so.

[Fiona]

Er, what about The Ponys 12", the YLT 12" and the Delorean lp? Are they going to be released here? Was going to add these to the order but I can't suck $30 postage for four items unless there's no alternative

[Patrick]

Ponys no. YLT, Delorean yes.

[Fiona]

Thanks again, Patrick.

At the risk of repeating this for the umpteenth time, it'd be nice if, where a release is only available in a particular territory, there was some indication of same. Had I not asked the question re The Ponys' 12" I'd probably be waiting around for it to come in to one of the shops here.

Please and thank you.

[Fiona]

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: this album is brilliant. Absolutely wonderful.
