CAPTAIN POLAROID and the Betamax Conspiracy	Sep 22 2009 9:48 AM Hello! It seems a lot of people are leaving Myspace so I've set up a bunch of other music-based profiles... if you want to keep track of what I'm up to you can follow me or fan me or whatever it is those sites encourage. Come and say hi! I'll still be here too of course, if this is your social networking venue of preference. facebook.com/captainpolaroid twitter.com/captainpolaroid last.fm/music/Captain+Polaroid captainpolaroid.bigcartel.com CP x

Das Wanderlust	Aug 4 2009 11:20 AM Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish. We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop: http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians. International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions. Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting. Lots of love Das Wanderlust xxx
