    So Ed says “You’ve got to make friends” It was never easy then, why would it be any different now? And I mean to say you’re talking to a man who, to date, has neither mobile phone nor Broad Band, for pity’s sake he doesn’t even own an i-pod or a DVD player. Yes, he does now, after a 16 year absence, own a car and it has a CASSETTE player. The idiot son don’t do technology, we are organic, I know this because that’s how people said the first album ‘Lummox’ sounded, which doesn’t mean we run around in the woods at night with Djembe, Didgeridoo and Castanets. And don’t even get me started on tents and festivals. Shove it, shove it all. And lets face it, by the time we actually complete the 2nd album (which we started on 25th May 2005, a day synonymous with Thatcher sinking the Belgrano, probably more apt, not for it’s political connotations but rather than something of significant weight being sunk without trace), then MySpace will probably be as antiquated as that Cassette player. So until then, what you have here is a couple of down loads from Lummox, an album that was 8 in Gideon Coe’s (BBC Radio 6) and 1, no less, in John Clarkson’s (Pennyblackmusic.com) favourites of the year. There’s a web-site where you can get various other down-loads and whilst that, like the rest of us, is in need of a tuck and liposuction, it does have a link to a live journal blog which is possibly the most up to date thing we have. It may not be much But it’s all in the girth.

    Darling Andy

    We hope you're just fine and dandy!

    You've probably wondered what happened to our new album? Well, we've just started our promotional efforts, with new songs and films on our page and so forth, and we hope you don't mind terribly if we leave a little publicity for you and your friends to look at...

    lots of 

    gamine
