It was my pleasure to play "Janine" on my weekly, 30-minute podcast featuring mainstream, independent music. The direct link to the show is: http://indiemusicsampler.com/2009/03/20/ims-125/

In a few days, the song will also be added to the music stream which plays out some of the best in independent music commercial-free 24x7.

Cheers,

Paying one of many return visits here, but am now trading as a connoisseur what with now being the proud owner of "Film Your Own Atrocities". Must say, I thought Ben & Jason and Ben Folds had used up all the remaining good tunes in the world... but I was wrong. Hearing this kind of joyous pop takes me back to the first times I heard XTC's Orange & Lemons and Jellyfish's Bellybutton! Well impressed and love it all to bits, especially Gathering Dust, Reign Of The Stupid and 1969.

Someone who's tapping into a similar vein of pure pop is Duncan Roberts of Dictafone.
Similar levels of Finnesque artistry, with a bit of Divine Comedy where you might be more Squeeze and Costello-like. I reckon you'd enjoy him/them.

I would go on but mustn't outstay my welcome!... A pleasure doing business with you and hope to see you live somehow sometime somewhere. To paraphrase that old 1980s slogan, life sounds better to the Eisenhowers!...

Cheers Raymond for the add and the comment. Lots of common ground, wouldn't you say? I've been giving your songs a few spins and think I'll be giving them quite a few more... What a fine songsmith you are. All the best and enjoy NK! The last time I saw him live was in... yikes... 1986-7ish. His recent batch of albums have been terrific!

It's funny how auld Nozzerz is so easily misinterpreted by the gullible. It's "secular cravats" he visions and predicts for '09 fad, the meaning of which is unclear. Interestingly, '10 is the year of "clerical craps" and I've written to that old gaylord nazi in Rome suggesting a duet cover of "Tomorrow Belongs to Me". I await his infallible response with trepidation and alarm.

Any other suggestions for "netting some badger" to earn a chance at "supping the badger's tea" are gratefully received.

I must echo (o...o...etc...) your comments regarding feminism. It is only now as I reflect in the High Chaparral that the gravity of the lyric imposes itself on my conscience.

I will make amends to the loverly ladies by forming a 'Ladies Only!' off-shoot of the Antient Craft of Freemasonry whose secrets shall be held as fast rigid and true as a stalk o' Dumbarton rock. The initiation rites of course involving the ancient ceremony of The Baring of Breasts to The Grand Serpent Osiris, that mystical cratur in every Lodge whae appears to be a hollowed out life-sized statue of the Egyptian god of the Underworld and Afterlife, but whose very eyes have been known to flare at the unfettering of the most outrageously prominent lust-thimbles.

That should do it.

Yeah....OF COURSE!!

There were a some signs a few weeks back. Billy joined Midge for a live session on Absolute (formerly Virgin) Radio. A video of Midge and Chris playing some Ultravox sounds in Midge's studio appeared on YouTube. Midge's manager then told me it was happening, but that she had been told to keep it quiet...

It seems to have been met with a good response and tickets are selling well. I think the record company are behind it and plan a greatest hits thing to sit on the back of the tour.... so expect decent publicity.

How are things with you?
