The package will be available on 16th June.

'I Want You To Know...'
is the easily the worst album I've bought this year, which makes me quite sad. I was soooo looking forward to it.
Moo to you, Daniel Kelly.
It's a fantastic record, you've not given it enough time. P's & Q's is the best thing they've done.
dont forget
they are also playing a warm up show for todds birthday at the black dog in Grantham with support from Rolo Tomassi, Data Select Party + more
all for only 3 english pounds
I've listened to it plenty
It just all sounds really flat and two-dimensional. It probably sounds better live.
Best
thing they have done is 'bless you' the b-side from 'our smallest adventures'...cracking track. was slightly dissapointed with the album but it definately is a grower.
'Workerbees'
Is on their myspace player now. It hasn't grown on me yet.
^this
except i didn't buy it. thankfully.
they'll never top that original pink squares single release...
Extra support for their Dingwalls show
is Data.Select.Party & Eight Legs. And XFM Dj's. And its on till 3am.
I want you to know that there is always hope..
is probably my favourite album of the year.
nope
they're shite live as well. one of about 3 bands i've actually walked out on.
one of the others
was wheatus.
