¶ A recent British Sea Power newsletter made me chuckle:
Back on the BSP mainland, pleasing celebrity association continues apace. Following previous public endorsement from David Bowie, Lou Reed, Radiohead The Flaming Lips, REM, Douglas Coupland, Peter Saville and Jarvis Cocker, BSP have received their most notable star-boost yet – admittedly in tacit form. On a recent edition of the MTV programme Cribs, Hanson guided the cameras around their home while BSP composition Remember Me played in the background. Come on, give Eamon a hit and let the Brakes bag the support slot on the Hanson November acoustic tour of Britain.
For the uninitiated, the Eamon in question is keyboardist with British Sea Power and singer with the Brakes (a collaboration with members of the Electric Soft Parade) who released their debut single a few weeks back. And if you don’t know who British Sea Power are, you need to get yourself acquainted as a matter of priority – try this free download of The Lonely.

British Sea Power! The mighty British Sea Power – I saw them at the Reading Festival this year, they were great. Everybody brought foliage with them and dressed in army, navy and air force jackets from WW2. Stylish stuff.

I saw them at Reading too. Although not very easily because of all the people standing at the front holding the foliage they had brought with them. Converted a friend to BSP though, so it was all worthwhile.
