We've put a couple of mp3s on the site, click on sounds to the left there. For starters there's When The World's In Tune, an unreasonably neglected song from MGWA and also When You Were Young from the Uranium Girl EP. We shall be adding more songs starting with "When" when we can and shall replace those from time to time, so you have to keep coming back. However, you could just buy the cds dirt cheap (because we undervalue art) from the MB shop.

OK, the small quantity of t-shirts that we actually have are now available online, amazing. Dirt cheap and in limited sizes until the rest of them are found. Grab yourself a sartorial bargain from the merchandise page link above. New designs coming soon, maybe. Any ideas for things you want?

Those among you who are eagle-eyed and with too much time on your hands may well have noticed the changes on the merchandise page. We have finally set up an online shop, and in celebration, are selling lots of stuff at damn cheap popular prices! Why on earth would we do that? Because we love you, of course. Also, we need the room. There is still the thorny issue of t-shirts. For a very long time David W., Gregory and myself have been sending e-mails to each other saying "You've got them, I saw you pick them up at the airport", "No I haven't, Dave's bass was wrapped in t-shirts, he must have them". That sort of thing. Well, I've found some, not many, and I'll put them on the site soon. If you happen to find a huge stash of MB t-shirts about your person could you please let us know, they're out there somewhere. Anyway, why not go to the merchandising page and complete your MB collection. Just click on the link above.

Here's something interesting, though I say so myself. There is to be a new compilation album from Rough Trade Shops on Mute Records, called Rough Trade Shops - Indiepop 1, for release on August 23rd. A splendid couple of cds it looks like too and track 2 on cd 1 is the single version of Carol Mountain. Well I never. Seems like we're edging a mite closer to recognition, maybe, let's not get carried away here. Anyway, there is an interview with Sean who has compiled the whole damn thing on the How Does It Feel? website, you need to go to Interviews then it's at the bottom of the page. I think it's the first time the single version has been made available on cd, unless you know better.

Oh I haven't posted anything here for ages, we're not dead! In fact, we have studio time booked to record 3 songs, 2 of which you may have heard if attending anything live and 1 really new song. Things are gradually getting dealt with here and we're going to do stuff soon, really we are. Site update is on the cards too, if you want anything here then let us know because we're thinking about it.
