"As so many correspondents have been enquiring about the album's release date let me post all I know at the moment. We are working towards the spring. But please note - this is all provisional upon a great deal of variables. For a start where creative people are involved deadlines can become understandably fluid. Many other things could get in the way. The world could implode into a black hole with a mighty squalk, Canada might invade The United States (it's happened before, people), Polarboy Music Inc. might be sold to a Japanese whaling company, or an Australian mining conglomerate or another firm completely unrelated to the music business such as EMI. Nancy Pelosi might take office with a manifesto commitment to abolishing washed up, old rockers, with particular prejudice to those sporting sideburns. The UN could decree all music an act of unprovoked aggression and promote James Blunt to Secretary General accordingly(merci, Mandi). I might fall pregnant, fall over and hurt my elbow, fall prey to any number of afflictions or pretentions. I might decide it's all worthless, and that I must henceforth dedicate my life to living up a tree in the Baltimore Zoo with a monkey and a crow and the complete works of James Baldwin. Ted Kennedy's head might fall off and send me flying from my skateboard. So let's all just wait and see shall we? Look, we're not saying we won't try our best but stuff might happen. So for NOW, the spring it shall be.
Joe"
