World Cup Special: Our Song for South Africa

My friends in Cop On The Edge have written a world cup song, and here they are to tell you all about it:

Hello,

It is time to get excited. We are very pleased to be part of a brand new compilation celebrating the 2010 World Cup.

'Fast Forward', lovingly put together by those fine people at Indiecater Records, is a collection of 32 songs, by 32 bands, each writing about one of the 32 countries taking part in this year's World Cup. Our contribution is Bafana Bafana, a tribute not just to the South African football team, but to awesome South Africans in general.

Click here to listen to the songs, and you can download the album for a mere €5, or buy a memory stick with artwork, lyrics and other gubbins for €10.

This will be the first of a veritable gush of releases coming your way from us this summer as we finish up our studio adventures, but it will definitely be the only one to namecheck Desmond Tutu.

Love

The Cops

A quote for the election

'There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I don't mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, that's the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.'

John Steinbeck
