this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about.
its called The Eraser.
nigel produced & arranged it .
i wrote and played it.
the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages.
it was fun and quick to do.
inevitably it is more beats & electronics.
but its songs.
stanley did the cover.
yes its a record!
no its not a radiohead record.
as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah...
this was all done with their blessing. and i don't wanna hear that word solo. doesnt sound right.
ok then thats that.

i think its out in july and im pretty certain XL are going to put it out.
love thom

I will purchase this compact disc in July, then ejaculate mass amounts of semen while listening to it.

I was looking at Shant's avatar while reading this. It was synergy.

They've been playing some of the songs on Thom's upcoming album during their current tour. I'll be at the 2nd MSG date if anyone else is going.

These guys need to quit dicking around up and down the coasts and get their asses back to Red Rocks.

I'm very envious

I cannot get tickets for a reasonable price in my area
I've been spoiled though and seen them on 6 different tours previously (since The Bends days) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm looking forward to this mainly because there's so much ambiguity as to what it's gonna sound like. I look forward to leeching it before the release date.
