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’.

Here’s what some of the Love Is Not Rescue sleeve artwork looks like, I invented this fabbo Prince-style ‘omega heart’ symbol on the left and photographer Anthony Melton reworked it on the right. Sexy…

Queen guitarist Brian May gave a nod to ‘Huntsman’ over new year, linking to Frank doing it on his website. Very impressed by Mr May’s strident animal rights views. Now that’s a cover version I’d love…
