Amazing. One is gobsmacked.

Anyone going to a gig that can get me copies? Mail me if so.

More money that I'm happy to part with. John is the only artist(s) that I'm willing to empty my wallet of Pterodactyls for, everytime a cd is released. I really can't wait for Saturday now.

Thats great news Rob, I get the impression John and Louis may continue as they did in '06, one of Johns best years since all those years ago.
Im still hoping for a recent or future show with possibly the inclusion of 'My Face' and some tracks from on 'From Trash' too. But this is brilliant news. smile

This is wonderful news. What a year 2007 is turning out to be. Metal Beat sounds like this is a must have item for us Foxx fans. Roll round Saturday.

I wonder who Jane is???

What a great little site!!
Its funny how some of their links are similar to Johns song titles,
well except for 'sex in space'. 'My sex in Space' maybe.....

as it's only about half a minute long , i guess so too & also think that it's similar in style like the "from brussels with love" stuff !?

From Myspace blog entry:

"During these shows John will perform such classics as "030", "Tidal Wave", "Mr No", "A New Kind of Man", "Film One" and "Blurred Girl" for the first (and possibly last) time in his career as he continues to move on into film-making, photography, art, graphics and spoken word extracts from his on-going book "The Quiet Man"."

There it is again... Worrying.

The product and promotion man at the edge of me is still thinking, will there be a live cd. A live dvd was talked about just after the 'exotour' time, this may be the last chance for an official Foxx / Gordon dvd.
