EIS Newsletter:

Sveiki!

I'm getting this newsletter out early because I'm hoping that later this week I will be spending some time in the studio with Vince and Andy, to talk to them about what they're up to and to take some pictures and perhaps some video footage of them at work on the new album. That's what I'm hoping for anyway (everything is dependent on how much progress they are making!), and the reason for getting this newsletter to you now is to see if there are any questions you'd like me to ask them? If you have any questions about the new album, Andy's solo project or about any of Vince and Andy's current activities (just current activities this time please!) that you would like me to consider asking them then please email them over to me as soon as possible and I will do my best to get as many of them answered as possible. Thank you in advance!

Erasure Album Updates!

As you know from last week's newsletter, Vince and Andy are working on the new Erasure album in London at the moment and they have been Twittering about the experience over the last few days. If you haven't been keeping an eye on their bulletins this is just a reminder that you can follow their progress on Erasure's Twitter page, and all the Tweets also appear on the Erasure Facebook page. So far they have touched on leaky shoes, Paul Humphrey's birthday party, chord inversions and the studio walls... it's all well worth a look!

Important Pierre Cope Warning

I'm sure that many of you will know of Pierre Cope from his work with Andy before Erasure, and as a result lots of you are probably friends with him via MySpace and so on. Unfortunately Pierre's email account was hacked last week and as a result someone has been sending out phishing messages (emails asking for money or financial details) from his account, so this is a warning that if you receive any emails that appear to come from Pierre then you should ignore them and delete them immediately.

Yazoo's "Only You" Tops Music List!

Yazoo's 'Only You' this week topped one of The Daily Record's 'Best 80s Music' lists, with journalist Mickey McMonagle describing the track as a 'synth-pop classic which paved the way for dance music to follow and showed just what a genius Vince Clarke was and is', and quite right too! There are more details on the Yazoo website.

This week's newsletter greeting and farewell are in Latvian, with thanks to Alec for sending them over and apologies if I've not managed to get the accents quite right!

Atá-atá!
