If you decide to listen to it tomorrow that is also fine. In fact, do listen to it tomorrow.

So there you have it. Triangles.

How about someone enterprising out there buys a few thousand of each make and model so they would have the full range of colours, and then sets up an online shop (eBay would be fine) where you could choose the colour you wanted. I would certainly use such a service, as long as (1st class) postage was free and they cost no more than at Tescos.

I appreciate there’s no money to be made from this (otherwise I’d be doing it already), but you would make lots of friends and it would solve one of modern life’s biggest dilemmas.

Let’s make this happen!

PS An EP is forthcoming.

Unfortunately, my ‘people’ will only let me release something once I achieve my target of this:

At which point, as Diplo has so eloquently pointed out, I will be able to “express myself” fully.

As you can see, I’ve some way to go. But I think you will also agree, good progress is being made. So there you go, that’s why the album is delayed. Hope that clears the matter up for you.

It’s all starting to get a bit real now. I’ve bought a keytar on ebay and priced up some fingerless laser gloves for the live show ($99 – a bargain!). So basically, the template for the live show is this:

with a bit of this:

It’s a bit short that clip, but you can tell it would be the best thing you’ve ever seen if it went on for an hour. I can’t possibly see how it could fail.

As you can see, team Mint Royale have been working very very hard. So hard in fact that there is finally something to show for it all and I’ve been able to send music to people today (whoop whoop). Five children (sorry, tracks) have been sort of finished. They are currently entitled GTFU, Buzz, Pino, Whip and Yung, and I thought it would be nice to put a few snippets up on Soundcloud for you to hear. I’ve done it in an annoying radio quiz style montage but hopefully you’ll get an idea of how it might all end up sounding. Having said that, I could bin it all!! (I’m not going to – are you crazy?)

The other half of the album is also well under way so fingers crossed this might actually happen.

In other news, I’ve remixed something big and exciting but am currently waiting for half of the big and exciting thing to say she is happy with it. You can try and guess what it is if you like, but until she has spoken I would be just crazy, a loon, completely gaga, to say who and what it is. I would risk being made destitute, a vagabond, a tramp if I did. But if it DOES happen, I will divulge interesting information here.

(There may have been some clues in that last paragraph.)

So here is the ‘new’ website. I will try and make it worth visiting with things to hear and see and read when I have created them, and tell you about it via Twitter and Facebook. For starters I’ve laboriously (and I really mean that) updated most of the old videos from their tiny screen pixellated form into big screen wonders. I’m not going to claim they are HD as HD didn’t exist when most of them were made. Some weren’t even widescreen – fancy that! – although they are now via some ruthless letterboxing. You can find them on the LOOK page.

I’ve also started a blog charting my progress with (drum roll……) a new album which is some way down the line and will probably get finished quicker if I blog about it and make myself feel guilty at any obvious lack of progress. I might chuck up bits of music as I go along, or I may not, we’ll see. It’s first instalment is up at SLOG.

So yes, a new album. For 2012. That’s a whole new album. Next year.
