I now have the mental image that the image on the album's disc is similar to the infamous picture vinyl discs of PSB's Before...

No it's actually the alternative album artwork, their taking their new found Lennon fandom too far and they've recreated the Two Virgins artwork just with Nicky doing a mangina to be Yoko......okay that's too much for a morning, or any time of day

Billion Balconies thingy?

[Atrocity Exhibitionist]

Hmmm....A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun is a line from JG Ballard's Cocaine Nights. Crap, I can't remember the reference; lemme go look at the book.

Quiet a Ballard fan look at my username

I take it the new single wasn't played on Zane's show last night then?

EDIT: Just checked the tracklisting and it wasn't played.

"In a sense, Crawford may be the saviour of the entire Costa Del Sol, and even the wider world beyond that. You've been to Gibraltar? One of the last outposts of small-scale greed, openly dedicated to corruption; no wonder the Brussels bureauocrats are trying to close it down.

Our governements are preparing for a future without work, and that includes the petty criminals. Leisure societies lie ahead of us like those you see on this coast. People will still work - or rather, some people will still work, but only for a decade of their lives. They will retire in their late thirties, with fifty years of idleness in front of them.

A billion balconies facing the sun; still, it means a final goodbye to wars and ideologies. But how do you energize people, give them some sense of community? A world lying on it's back is vulnerable to any cunning predator.

Politics are a pastime for a professional cast and fail to excite the rest of us. Religious belief demands a vast effort of imaginative and emotional commitment, difficult to muster if you're still groggy from last night's sleeping pill.

Only one thing is left which can rouse people, threaten them directly and force them to act together: Crime? Crime and transgressive behaviour. By which I mean all activities which aren't necessarily illegal, but provoke us and tap our need for strong emotion, quicken the nervous system and jump the synapses, deadened by leisure and inaction."

It was a made up tweet, hence the comment after it saying that there was a thread for the made up stuff unfortunately!

Start of August i still think. Depends if the song itself has been mastered in the studio before the radio get hold of it
