Busy Boy
Current mood:Busy Bee

Sorry it's been so long since I've written on the space..
Been really busy and I'm only now surfacing to breathe.
Where to start?
Casey - the single.
We're releasing it digitally on March 3 and there are a bunch of versions with bonus tracks. Some will be on iTunes, some on my website and the most exciting thing is that we're also offering a live version recorded each night from the Side 2 dates in the UK. Literally at the end of each show audiences members will be able to text to buy that night's performance of 'Casey' and it will be delivered to them on March 3.
What else?
The video is finished and it's breath taking. It should debut online towards the end of this week. It will also be available to buy in iTunes come release day.
Don't be dissapointed if you don't hear the song on radio - I'm not even trying to get it played to be honest. It's a weird time for music, with record labels slashing staff, dropping artists and everyone clawing for airplay. I wanted to be above all that and just release the song because I adore it.
You can expect to find some b side goodies including a brand new song called 'In your mother's eyes' as well as demo recordings of 'Words' 'Walk Away' and the original demo of 'Casey'. There's also a bunch of live versions including one recorded at the Canal Room in NYC and one from the Time Machine Tour in Australia.
There's a lot of choice, but hey, it's my favorite song off the album so I figured why not slurge?
Speaking of 'The Time Machine Tour' the DVD has just finished being edited.
Now the sound is being mixed and the front cover artwork is being finalized.
We expect to release it sometime before May this year for those of you who've been asking.
On other fronts - I go to Justin's studio tomorrow night to begin work on arrangements and remixing for the Side 2 Tour set list. It's all very exciting. The songs I've chosen to do on this little run are very cool (some rare, some old, some new) and I hope you all enjoy what I've come up with.
The U.S dates are being slowly set in stone and we should have some news for those in North America this week as well.
So it's all happening!
Thanks for all your lovely messages on here.. I do read most - even if it's impossible to reply to many - your support, as always means the world..
Mucho love
