international loki

So...biggest news this week is that our album THE ADVENTURES OF LOKI is not only going to have physical and digital release in the UK on 1th September, but also a WORLDWIDE digital release via Universal = loki love without borders, administering aural pleasure wherever you are....ooer....

what else? these last fews I have mostly....

become addicted to twitter...click the widget on the right to start following us. I love the fact that (unlike in a  blog...ahem) you have to be brief. And that you can follow people like Charlie Brooker (whom I very much enjoy the rantings of), alongside people who you know a whole lot better...I heard about the HOPE NOT HATE petition (see my previous blog) through twitter, so its as informative and political as it is vague and whimsical.

been signing petitions and protesting against the BNP - fascist scum...NOT IN LOKI'S NAME...hateful, hateful scum.

went on a little trip to the fair city of Edinburgh, which I love. we went to visit lovely, lovely Joe of Transmission Productions and his lovely, lovely girlfriend Ness...and to see Future of the Left...who I really enjoyed, nice to see a band that's on it like a mouse on cheese (anyone who gets that reference can have a badge). Joe and his partner in crime Sean made the Feminine Side video, and have recently been making some pretty amazing short films, which he showed us and we're talking about making a new video with them very soon....

on tuesday the band went to see Let The Right One In, which is a swedish vampire film...yep, not a genre you often hear, but we were all totally blown away by it, so if you haven't seen it, DO IT it is brrrrrriiiilllliant....(brrr...y'know cos it snows a lot in sweden....no?)

putting up a live recording of 'You'll Soon Be Ours' on our myspace profile...it was recorded on a portable minidisc player through shit headphones, but boy does it sound good for it...we will be posting other songs as we finish them....I also put up the album versions of Feminine Side, Dance Like A Maniac and My Black Dog, so of course our number of listens has plummeted....grrrrrrrr...Chucked a few new photos on there and removed the vids...then I tried to change the layout a bit, then changed it back again....why, oh why, oh why can't bands have Myspace 2.0 profiles yet?...no fair....they look better and are easier to look at...so i've been sulking about that a bit....but i still loves ya myspace... its definitely the best social networking site for bands

been finishing off the most recent song to be added to the loki arsenal - Hope Slash Attention....very pleased with that one, felt like I got something out of the writing process...pretty cathartic. pretty and cathartic. we are about to embark on revisiting the huge backlog of jams and half finished songs that we accumulated over the dark days, so the next album will no doubt be written before the first one comes out, or not long after! So, hopefully you won't have as long to wait this time round :)

finally, i have been trying to avoid reading people's glowing reports of faith no more's return to gigging...apparently they have been absolutely amazing...and i wasn't there so sulk, sulk, sulk....

let me see, have i bored you enough yet???

i think so....

brigit has vacated the internet.....
