JG Thirlwell pays an Easter visit

It’s been a fun Easter holiday, back in the UK after gigs in France over the weekend. Lots of chocolate and hanging out with the family, then Lauren Laverne decided to play the new single with The Amorphous Androgynous AGAIN this morning after dropping it on Friday on her 6Music show. This time I was at home and had a bit of a moment dancing with the kids while it blasted out, one to remember there.

A lot of people have been asking when they can get it, I’m assured that the pre-order page will be up on the Ninja Tune site this week, there will be 1500 copies on 12″ vinyl for Record Store Day on April 21st plus it’ll all be available as a download with an extra exclusive remix by 2econd Class Citizen. Ninja have kept 200 copies back for their online shop so that those who don’t make it out on RSD don’t go without. Please don’t feed the flippers on eBay if you don’t find one on the 21st, this will be repressed if stocks run out.

To add to that, Jim Thirlwell is in town to play the Union Chapel Bar on Thursday 12th with his Manorexia band and called to see if I was up for a visit. Even though we met over a decade ago and have worked together it’s still surreal to be making tea for him and relaxing in my studio. The teenage fan me, back in the 80’s, wouldn’t have ever believed it. Greatest Bank Holiday Monday ever.

    You lucky, lucky bastard. ^_^
    Amazing, and I can soooo relate (tho I’ve never had the extreme privilege of working with this genius).
