*This is a hilarious Scottish joke that means CRYING AT CHRISTMAS WHICH IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

Hello from America where we are about to have our first ever Thanksgiving dinner. Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

What's next though, is Christmas and as you know we are big fans of Christmas with all its tidings of joy and donkeys. To capture this sentiment in musical form, we have recorded a lovely Christmas single for you which is a cover of Jim Reeves song The Blizzard and is a double a-side with Swans. You must get it because I say so and because the artwork is (in my opinion) the most beautiful yet.


Thank you, thank you all.

Hello enthusiastic Myspacers. Aren't all these new features really annoying and stuff?

Just thought I ought to say hello. Our US tour starts tonight in New Orleans where it is not too hot but is lovely and I had lots of gin. Please come and see us. Also, please send in your suggestions of what to do on our day off in Athens, GA.

I have just put up the Australian and New Zealand tour dates for January. We are really excited to be able to play there again. Go and buy tickets.

I would like a nap. good bye.

Hello Myspace fans
We thought you good people of London and Glasgow deserved an extra treat at the the forthcoming shows since you’ve given us so much support over the years. SO we would like to announce the addition of Emma Pollock formerly of the fabulous Delgados www.myspace.com/emmapollock as an extra guest at the Glasgow Barrowlands and wonderful cult hero and vintage songsmith wonder Nick Garrie at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire www.myspace.com/nickgarrie
This will be in addition to the brilliant Magic Arm www.myspace.com/magicarm who has been doing the whole tour with us and I’ve loved listening every night.
Hope to see you at the shows, and get there in time to enjoy the openers and drink plenty of booze.
The band
xx

Hello folk and folks

We are off on tour again in the morning, hope you are coming to see us somewhere. This should be a memorable tour; we're visiting lots of places for the first time and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Europe.

The session we recorded for World Cafe on NPR is being repeated this Saturday AND Monday, which is great. I remember it being a good session although I wouldn't dare listen myself obviously. If you missed it being broadcast before here are the details
World Cafe Broadcast Notification

Hello
here are the next Pitchfork tv tracks in case you have stupidly forgotten to check back and watch them and then write to Pitchfork telling them how much you enjoyed it.

Also I would like to draw your wandering attention to the lovely exclusive limited jewelry now on sale on the shop that was designed for us by Tatty Devine. Here: http://www.camera-obscura-shop.net/department/accessories/

thank you and good afternoon

Awright We are in London doing things on the radio. You can hear us do some songs including a certain Abba reprise on Absolute Radio drive time show http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/ AND on the lovely Janice Long of BBC radio 2's show TONIGHT which you should also be able to listen-again to, should you fall asleep before we appear. Hope you enjoy. Hope we do too. Nah then. Carey.
