Some press's rumouring there will be a 7'' for "Crash", can you confirm it?

The rumours are true - at least we were handed a couple each when we were in the office the other day. Maybe they'll be available from our shop.

Hi,

I'm losing it with a lot of work and study this year, and... Last week I broke up with my boyfriend. I really like him and he likes me back, but it just... wasn't working well for the both of us. So it's been a very weeping week for me. And you may not know, but your music is making the whole recovery process easier for me. I feel really anxious and tearful, but then I hear your albums and they make it gets bearable and I tend not to cry a lot or freak out. YOU guys make it gets bearable, and for that I'd like to thank you all so much.

Actually, since I found you on 2007, you've been my safe-harbor and been helping me out - even though you have no idea of it. A pic I took of a B&S concert I went on 2010 remains as my cellphone wallpaper (and I have no intention of removing it so far). That night was magical, one of the best I ever had (the only bad thing is that I didn't get the chance to talk to you...). So when I'm sad and I listen to your songs, sometimes I remember that night at Sao Paulo and I suddenly realise I'm smiling. Even if I was crying just a feel seconds before.

I'm afraid it could sound cheesy and for that I'm sorry, but I just thought it would be nice for you to know how helpful you are. So, again... Thank you for everything, you guys are the best! :)

PS: A new Late Night Tales? So cool!

Thanks Giovanna x

Can anyone tell the story that propelled the writing of the song "Seymour Stein?"
It feels safe to assume it's about him trying to sign you to Sire or wherever after "If You're Feeling Sinister," and you guys not being interested, but it seems like there's a more specific story to tell there. And I'm curious, though I know it was a long time ago.
Thanks! And I can't wait for the new record!

Nahh it's a song about a departed love...Seymour is just the back drop or a juxtaposition. There are times in your life where your dreams come true but it means nothing as it seems you've lost everything. You haven't though. One door closes and another opens. These periods can be sad though, terribly sad.

Dear Stevie, I'd really love to have your face on my chest like on a t-shirt. I feel like your expression says a lot about what I feel a lot of the time. It's like you're a bit fearful because the world is such a frightful place and people are jerks, but then you're also like "to hell with it all" and then you're also looking at people under stern eyebrows going, "why do you do that? you could be so much better. I am disappointed, but that's because I believe in you." I wonder if that was your actual thought process when you posed for that portrait? But also, may we have that t-shirt, please?

I just think that the girl who painted the portrait really got my eyes, feels like I'm looking in the mirror. I'm not really frightened of the world, maybe just sticking my head above the parapet or something. I'm not disappointed in anybody. I have been a disappointment to myself but I'm forever hopeful.

dear stevie,
congratulations to your superb solo album!
I also like the title of it "(I `can`t get no)Stevie Jackson".
Is it an idea that you have got long years ago?

Errrrrrrrrr.....actually yeah!

Hi Stevie,
I have really been enjoying your solo album and I really hope I can see you play live sometime. I saw B&S in Washington, DC last year and loved the audience participation on I'm Not Living in the Real World! I was just listening to Village Green Preservation Society, and it made me think of the 'ooh woos' in your song. Anyway, my question is two-fold - 1. Will you be doing similar audience participation-things during your tour, and 2. Do you think you'll add some US dates at some point? You would make this Scottish ex-pat very happy. All the best with your tour xx PS. The video for Feel the Morning is pretty much perfect

Thanks Julie, I'm in DC in a week, come see me x
