Friday 4 March
I have a new record out, my first seven-inch in over a decade (since the ill-fated and much quoted ‘Do Nuts’, in fact). It’s very exciting: CDs are fine and all, but nothing beats the thrill of slowing sliding the vinyl out of the cardboard sleeve, feeling the paper crinkle and snap back into shape, static playing on your fingers…and then lifting the stylus onto the record for the first time. The record is two cover versions of songs made unpopular by Mr Daniel Treacy (TV Personalities), ‘If I Could Write Poetry’ and ‘Sense Of Belonging’, recorded live, first time out the traps, one rehearsal, at the Albert a while ago. If you do care to purchase a copy, you should go to here at Tangents, which is also a very fine site. obviously.
Or you could write direct to me, where you can also obtain the aforementioned ‘Do Nuts’ single - it’s a part of grunge history, you know! - and several other old seven-inchers if you so desire. Just thought I’d mention it.

I seem to have a flexi-disc by you from a long long while ago. I can’t remember what it sounds like. Perhaps I should try I locate it and play it? Then again….
Didn’t you release something on black and white vinyl?
