As you can see, the Fall have added a few UK dates following their festival appearances. According to Clayts these are all subject to confirmation. Apparently the lineup will continue as MES, Elena, Tim, Rob, and Orpheo.

If you want to attend all three shows of the Galtymore residency, Alan Wise is selling three tickets for the price of two (£30). Send an S.A.S.E. with a check payable to "T.A. Wise" to T. A. Wise, 26 Lockett Gardens, Trinity, Manchester, M3 6BJ. Probably a good idea to wait until these gigs are confirmed on the official site.

I released a short movie (creative commons license) that uses *a hard sampled* version of "Blindness" for its soundtrack. If you like it enough, would you publish a link to it?

warm greetings from a friendly visitor,
M. Koppenberg: Soul Representative of the Tesla-K.Organization

Well, it's just about the coolest video I've seen all year, and MK uses the hard Blindness sample to fantastic effect.
