Blimey it's hot here in Liverpool.

You can now listen to clips of all the album tracks at the lovely last.fm so go over to http://www.last.fm/music/Testcard and click on the Lines link if you like, like.

Talking of which, according to said last.fm there's a bunch of Testcard listeners in the Russian Federation so if any of you discover this post come and say hello. We like a bit of feedback.

Also the BBC show On the Wire played 'lines' the other night- a particularly pleasing spot play for Matt Testcard as the show was a formative influence on the lad back when he lived in Blackpool.

Cheers again to the ace Dave Monks show on BBC Radio Merseyside who's been hammering the album for the last few weeks. Looking forward to coming in for a session at the start of June.
