hello and hallo. its been a busy old time for this wee album.things are happening and all of them are good. YAHEY,WAZZOCKS etc

umm.. what was i gonna say... oh yeh, on thursday, we're BBC Radio 6music's ALBUM OF THE DAY! WOOHAA. really have no clue wha that means, but hopefully it means they play lots of lovely tracks off it, big it up all day and buy it breakfast.

lots of reviews are popping up all over the place too.. i was gonna type up some here but its late and i can't be fecked.

all in all, "happy" is the overwhelming sentiment although i keep privately kicking myself that we never asked enya. its a massive blow, and until i'm an old man will always be my biggest "what if."

This week, we are "on the NME's stereo". which is pretty cool (despite the fact that aso on the NMEs stereo this week is my chemical romance and amy winehouse).

"Forty-nine (sic) ace cult bands and artists recording 50 one-minute songs in aid of the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture"

better than a kick in the gums i guess..

how are you?

Last night on Radio 1, Huw Stephens played 'The Return' by Trademark on his One Music show, track one off this album...

He's promised to play a track a week til they're all played!

This makes him a thoroughly top man.

Thank you Mr Huw!

A small announcement...

for reasons I won't go into, we have changed the beneficiary charity from Amnesty International to the Medical Foundation for the Victims of Torture.

They have a website here: www.torturecare.org.uk and are simply brilliant cause, which we're dead chuffed to be supporting.. check em out.

That is all..

hi. sorry if you subscribe to this - i'm not usually one to write for no reason. just thought it was worth putting something here in case anyone actualy reads it, and thinks nothing's been happening... quite the contrary my friend! EVERYTHING has been happening..!

we're well on the way to getting our 50 tracks, and it sounds fuckin astounding. excuse my language. seriously, 'sennen' i love you, 'emmy' you = genius, 'trademark' you will open the album - your track is a gem, 'wry' i often listen to your track 10 times in a row;;;;

basically, i'm a little battered, but all in all, shit is going swimmingly. if you are one of the few who is still to get something to me, hurry it along please my cherubs! the sooner the better now. and i can't be arsed to do any more chasing!

THIS IS GOING TO BE SPECIAL. trust me.........

HALLO.
