Extra! Extra! New Erasure Album In October!

Breaking news! New Erasure album, which is the second part of their hits compilations serie will be released in October.

Here are the quotes from brand new Andy Bell interview:

"...also we have an Erasure Pop Hits 2 coming out in October. So I’m doing a remix of a song of ours called “Freedom."

"...as I said, the Pop Hits 2 album is coming out so hopefully we’ll do some of the later material. There was talk of doing an Erasure tour… maybe not next year but the year after… where we do all the songs, but it would be a long show. Like forty songs."

Brand New Andy Bell Interview

Andy BellThere is a brand new interview with Andy Bell published at Gaywired.com. Andy told about his work on second solo album:

"At the moment I’m about a third of the way through doing some new songs for a solo record, which will hopefully be finished by the end of the year and then come out some time next year. It’s kind of in a similar vein to Electric Blue…but a bit more unusual."

"At the moment, it [the record] sounds a bit too much like Erasure so we’re going to try and make it more left-field sounding. So I’m hoping to get my hands on the instrumentation and stuff like that.

I‘m working with a guy called Stephen Hague who produced The Innocents album for us way back in ’89 so hopefully I’ll be working a bit more on the music. And I’d quite like to do some songwriting maybe in New York with some other people and just see what happens really".

Andy also discussed his performances on "True Colors" tour 2008, his DJing and other things.

'Ghostgirl' By Tonya Hurley

Published this month is the satirical, yet heartfelt novel 'ghostgirl' by Tonya Hurley, who explores the invisibility we all feel at some times and the lengths we'll go to be seen.

"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

And if I should die before I awake,
I pray the popular attend my wake."

"Charlotte Usher feels practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is invisible. Even worse: she's dead. And all because she choked on a gummy bear. But being dead doesn't stop Charlotte from wanting to be popular; it just makes her more creative about achieving her goal."

"If you thought high school was a matter of life or death, wait till you see just how true that is."

Tonya Hurley is a critically-acclaimed writer/director whose credits span film, television, live performance and interactive media. Vince Clarke has provided soundtracks to many of these projects.

The book can be ordered online from retailers such as Amazon - details below:

Amazon (US): http://www.amazon.com...
(ISBN: 978-0316113571, Publisher: Little, Brown Young Readers)

Amazon (UK): http://www.amazon.co.uk...
