(The Blockquote button in WordPress is really very awkward to use. I just want to indent a paragraph so it looks like a quote from an email. But highlighting the text and pressing the button just chews up the entire entry, moving bits of text all over the place. Italics seem to be a less anxiety-inducing option. Any advice from WordPress users out there?.)<\/p>\n
From the mail box: I’m told the songs will also be available to download via iTunes and KlickTrack, from December 5th.<\/p>\n I’ve also suggested to the record label that they provide free mp3 versions to those who buy the vinyl. They say it’s not as easy to automate on the website as it might sound, but that they’re looking into it. Something to do with getting a password…<\/p>\n Oh, and the vinyl is limited to 300 copies.<\/p>\n We were rehearsing the new single in Rooz Studios, Old Street last night, so all being well we’ll play the songs on this Extended Farewell Tour. I might actually learn the lyrics, too.<\/p>\n The lyrics to ‘My Diogenes Heart’ were written on a sheet of hotel notepaper earlier this year. The Crystal Plaza, Stockholm, to be precise – their logo sits prettily at the top of the page. Charley thinks I should sign it and put it up for winning in a competition. Maybe on the next Swedish tour…<\/p>\n Speaking of which, returning to Sweden one last time now looks like a probability. Plans are being drawn, pins stuck in calendars in early 2009… We’re looking at Stockholm and Gothenburg, obviously, but also Uppsala, Malm\u00c3\u00b6, Norrk\u00c3\u00b6ping, Link\u00c3\u00b6ping and J\u00c3\u00b6nk\u00c3\u00b6ping. That’s a whole lot of coping (sorry). Hopefully we’ll be playing some sort of instore gig in Stockholm, where there won’t be any age restriction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (The Blockquote button in WordPress is really very awkward to use.

\nDear Mr Edwards, regarding the new single… can we have MP3 versions of the new songs too? I have dutifully ordered the single, but it would be nice to round off my ipod’s fosca playlist with the new songs.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n
\nDear Mr. Edwards,
\nI am sitting in my living room listening to “The painted side of the rocket”. An exceptional album I must say. I just want you to know that it would mean the world to me, and other Swedish Fosca fans, if you came here! Know that you do have a fan base here… And the other thing I wanted to say, is that if you really do
\ncome here, and if you have any influence, please try and make it accessible for people under 18 too?<\/em><\/p>\n
