Hi all,
Hope you're all having a fine December and that you're not too stressed!
Here we're waiting for the album to be released...any day now,
hopefully tomorrow.
The remix 12" is already released and available from shops such as:

And probably more shops soon (check the web site for updates).
Three interviews with Sally and me were published this week! The first
one is in Australian online music/fashion magazine "Pages" and is a
multimedia thing with animated snowflakes in front of Sally etc: (Page
6 from the end)

Digfi (Swedish online music magazine) made an interview in Swedish, but
only with me:

Ondskan (Swedish printed music magazine) made an interview with Sally
and me which is published in no. 3/2006, but we haven't read it
ourselves yet since it's not an online magazine:

Reviews of the full "Disco Romance" have also started to appear. Check
the "reviews" sections for updates, I won't send everything to this
mailing list (I think) but we know that Vice, Groove.de, De:Bug and
Pitchfork Media will write about it. Of these three reviews I enjoyed
reading the one in the Village Voice the most, because the reviewer is
so affected by Sally's enigmatic shyness! :)
"I was ridiculously amped for the album to finally emerge, and now I
have my copy. (...) And I love it."
Tom Breihan, The Village Voice (USA)

"... an infectious, catchy and clever album."
Igloo Magazine (USA)

"Det är soft och drömskt med en oslipad demokänsla som känns igen från
indiegrejer som Hello Saferide och Firefox AK.
Och Anorak christmas är decembers hittills bästa jullåt."
Expressen (Sweden)
