As we prepare to head off around the country, some points of interest… 

Both our new single, 'Paper Street' and 'Break The Banks' are now available for pre-order on the World Wide Web. There are several links dotted throughout the MySpace, though some of them don't appear to work yet. Sorry about that! 

Hope you're all enjoying the two new songs on the player- the feedback has been really great. Keep it coming. As you know, 'Paper Street' is properly out next Monday, and I've neglected to tell you the formats. So I'm going to now: 

CD- Paper Street/ North Sea (Russell Bloc Party Remix)

Vinyl- Paper Street/ Stop 

The BP mix of 'North Sea' is really, really cool. It's one of Russell's favourite Battle songs and, though we've got no plans to release it as a single, we thought you'd all love to hear it. 'Stop' is one of the tracks recorded at last year's Jacobs sessions. We think it's got a lovely, swoonful feel, but just couldn't make space for it on the album. Ho hum… 

Anyway, to continue my sales-patter; I've looked at a few pre-order links and my personal recommendation would probably be Townsend Records, where you can buy both formats of the single for £2.99 and pick up the album at the same time. Remember that the album is out a week later though. Anyway, here's the link: Townsend Records. Please add any better deals you find to this blog though!

Hope to see you at Leeds and/or Reading and on the Kubichek! tour. They're going to be a lot of fun. We're on at around 9.00pm at the Festivals… 

Ta, 

Tim
