Erin Lang's album available now

Quick break from our wall-to-wall Disintegration coverage to bring you this update from Roger on Twitter: "@erinlang 's debut album You Are Found was just delivered and is available from 99 Times out of 10 Records for only £10!"

Samplers still available from Rhino

According to this ad on the Rhino Records Facebook page, they still have 200 copies of the sampler left. So if you haven't ordered yet, it isn't too late. Which is pretty surprising and a little disappointing.
Update: Down to 100 left.

Disintegration font

A special gift from the creators of one of my favorite Cure websites of all time, Plainsong. Their excellent version of the Disintegration font. Read more info in the comments.

Update 3: Listen to it on iPlayer (starts at 1:08:42) or download it here and here. (Thanks Aaron, Marc70, Marcin and David)

Update 2: IGA has posted about this at the official site.

Update: This should be interesting, as Dave and Robert have very different memories about who saved the lyrics in the fire. : ) And while Andrew says he doubts RS will call in, "The fire will be mentioned. And the acid."

"Dave Allen who produced Disintegration will be speaking live with Andrew Collins on BBC 6 Music this Wednesday 19th May at 2pm. If you have any questions about the making of the album for Dave you can email them to andrew.6music@bbc.co.uk."
(Thanks Sarah and Andrew)

Alternative Rarities working again

After suffering some problems for a few days, the Alternative Rarities 1988-1989 player at the Disintegration microsite is up and running again. But the downloading of the wallpapers, and email registration, still don't work for me.
