They took the song in which Lisa is featured off the myspace site. PoO! I wasn't able to listen to it properly cos I was at the office when it was up and had to listen to it really low. I guess I'll have to wait..ah well.

Wonder why they took it off... surely they put it up cos they wanted people to hear it...

Bumpman · 09-21-2006, 12:41 PM

Maybe they just wanted to circulate the songs or something.

Call me when Glen's song with Gemma's vocals is up on the site, 'kay?

Carl, it's available on October 27th.

The Cake Sale has been put back a week so should be available in Ireland from this friday. Gemma Hayes performs a song written by Glen Hansard called 'All the way down'- The latest issue of Hot Press awards the album 9/10 and says Gemma's voice on the track has "never sounded as fragile"

Paul and Lisa together, and it was far superior to the one that Gary Lightbody does, partly because Paul wrote it, and partly because he's more talented... I have pictures of them playing it... Wanna see?

I do, sounds intriguing.

I want this album, but screwed up when ordering it
