if you as non-UK inhabitant want to help erasure to chart high with Breathe in the UK charts, you can order a full set (cd1, cd2 and dvd) by emailing Ewan McLaren. if you order early you will probably get a limited editon collectors wallet for free. i ordered a set myself and also got Oh l'Amour, Solsbury Hill and Make Me Smile from him.

Bullfighter, a film starring William Dafoe and to which Vince wrote the music, will be released on DVD on 4th of January 2005.

if you still dont have the Tank, The Swan And The Balloon Live! DVD you can also watch Stop! (live) @ artistdirect.com. |

 rumour:
Andy did some interviews (1 2) last week. here are some highlights:

• Andy and Vince have written 16 songs for nightbird, but havent produced all of them.
• they wanted I Bet You Are Mad At Me to be the second single, but Daniel Miller prefers an uptempo-track to get more airplay. so they choose Don't Say You Love Me.
• the setlist for the erasure show will include Hideaway, No Doubt, four other Nightbird Songs, Drama, Brother And Sister, Knocking On Your Door and The Circus. the stage will be a fairy-tale-forrest.
• Andy would like to perform Rapture live and tries to persuade Vince to do the rap (but obviously he doesnt want to rap).
• Andy will probably play some live gigs of his solo album, which should be released after nightbird, but he hasnt found a label yet.

 official :
the new video is now online (direct link: realplayer-file, high quality). it is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story of The Little Matchstick Girl.
