Nintendo
Friday, February 12th, 2010‘Nintendo’ news
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
My new single ‘Nintendo’ will be streamable online over the weekend. Find it on my Facebook, Youtube, Soundcloud, Vimeo, and yes even good old Myspace. Let me know what you think. There’s a sweet vid by @Rifa and @Blaim as well.
‘Nintendo’ out to buy on Mon 8 Mar – from anywhere as a two track download (the b-side is my cover of 60s soul classic ‘Abraham, Martin & John’) or as an iTunes Exclusive EP with ‘A,M&J’, ‘On The Turner Grand #2′ (an improvised piano piece) and the original demo for ‘Nintendo’.
‘Nintendo’ sleeve first look
