The Science & Love EP
Limited to 500 copies, the first 100 on coloured vinyl, The Science & Love EP is a 7" packed full of hip shaking, finger snapping delight. A beautifully designed sleeve reminiscent of an old Georgie Fame 45 and packaged in a brown paper bag just like the old days. This is a collectors' item which is as exciting to hold as to listen to.

"Bursting with witty, inventive, beautifully crafted Bluenote songs in a Scouse accent that bring a smile to the face and a lift to the heart. It reminds a little of the great Alan Price and Georgie Fame, with its utterly groovy hepcat feel that somehow has you thinking of British crime caper Gangster no.1.
If the sound production is a little raw in places, it somehow adds to the authentic feel, resulting in something both evocative and interesting. Crammed full of Cheapskate’s hugely likeable exuberant Nu-Scouse merriment, your toes will be tapping from the word go.
Hey babe!!! Come and have a listen to our music because we
know your going to absolutely love it!!! When we come to your city bring ALL of
your friends along to come and party it up hard with us!!!
:o) - i'm getting some stuff sorted out over the next few months, hopefully getting back into working at the start of the new year and a flat before I start back at Uni again in September....
Morning la, I just wanted to say hello here and wish you well. I must say that every bit of your prose I find here and there are most enjoyable to read and I regard them as "little treasures". I have an idea for you that I'll relay in a private message today....
I found you maybe through you're intriguing photograph. Cups of tea and piano keys maybe. Maybe it was fate for me to talk to you today maybe..
Why are you drawing animals trapped inside things? I've been drawing faces so that I can print them tomorrow. You should show me these trapped animals? If there's any way I can see them. I just watched the third ep. of Flash Forward with my sister and it was insane. What's the afternoon been treating you with?
You need more praise heaped upon you! But then you might not appreciate the praise anymore and just pass it up.. My Thursday? I've had a headache most of the day, but other than that I've been getting rid of clothes that I don't need anymore. I've been doing a lot of work for college and such. And I'm currently in Sheffield. What about you musical stranger?
p.s ohhh I forgot what I wanted to p.s you but it was good. It'll come back to me.
I'm glad about this! And how are you doing this pretty drabby Thursday afternoon? You're very talented, but I'm sure you know this. I suppose it doesn't hurt to hear it another time.
