Hey I don't know if anybody noticed, but the Lavender Diamond section is now up and running--with the first Lavender Diamond mp3 prominently featured.

The song is "You Broke My Heart," the first track off of The Calvary of Light, and it is pretty awesome. I'll call it the Hey Jude of its time and place. Check it out HERE (http://www.matadorrecords.com/lavender_diamond/music.html)

Youngtown is not going to be happy about this.

With my frank head on I must say that (regarding the mp3) I was really hoping for a "fucking hell, driver get me to the record store post haste" moment but unfortunately it didnt come.

If that's the case you're due a "fucking hell, driver get me to the loony bin post haste" moment very shortly. 'The Cavalry Of Light' is awesome!

Why is it that you and I butt heads so often Fiona?

[Fiona]

Good grief, Moon Pix, I'm only pulling your leg!

Sorry Fiona, todays good humour quota was exhausted at work today.:)

When will the 12" be orderable from the Matador store?

Or am I just missing it?

[Dean]

We have a little technical glitch in our Matastore Display, but it should be up there very very soon if it isn't already.

Thanks. I just ordered it.

And FYI, now only the vinyl is showing up on the mailorder page and not the CD. Maybe you know that already, though.

[Patrick]

Thanks for pointing out -- now fixed.
