message from Ian on Facebook

[Mr. Brian]

for all you non-Facebook people:

Hello, Ian McCulloch here.
Unaccustomed as I am to the workings, or not, of facebook, I'll try to do my upmost to inform, and communicate with, all you facebookers....
It's been a very busy and productive year so far, with me recording my fourth solo album, 'PRO PATRIA MORI', over the first part of the year. This latest album has been the biggest labour of love and backroad to redemption of any work I've done since maybe 'WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?'. The songs revolve around laughter and crying and the landing at the top of the stairs of my Parent's house from which I gazed a gazely stare at all the dreams out there.....
I have also been demoing songs that remind me of all the great bits of 'Crocodiles', 'Heaven Up Here', 'Porcupine' and 'Ocean Rain'. They have a sound to them-a uniquely Bunnymen sound-that will wipe the floor with all the would be rock'n'rolling chancers out there.
Also this year I played solo shows in the U.K. and South America, which where possibly the most emotional and soul-defining of my career. The feeling I got from those shows has made me want to,or, more to the point, need to, do more of them.
On the upcoming solo shows in September and October I'll be playing my songs in an even more stripped down way, because I feel the rawer they are the more powerful and poignant they are. I'll be accompanied by my great and trusted friend Ian Broudie, with whom I feel I share similar reasons to sing and yearn and learn and sing about the meanings, in the dreamings of our lives.
To any newcomers to my music and to avoid any confusion as to which Ian I am, I'll be the one with the greatest voice in the history of time (and that's a hell of a long time), and I'll be the one who wrote The Killing Moon.
Thanks for facebooking, be faithful,
Yours Sincerely
Ian McCulloch

It's not clear if this is also from Ian but it is implied:

One More thing.

Been told due to Production issues and a personal change in management that my new album and all things related have been very late in being delivered.

Sorry about that I have now signed all the prints etc and am led to believe that all CDs etc are now just about set to be sent.

It's worth it trust me.

I think it is him..... (or someone typing out his words) :)

Mac sounds pretty happy.

This is good.

And Bunnymen esque can only mean one thing!!

"Hire the goons"

he was pretty happy at the union chapel to be honest, and very relaxed at the after gig signings.

Most accounts of poltergeist manifestations involve noises and destruction that have no apparent cause.

it's already on amazon.co.uk as an e-book

I'm sure that book will sell better than 'A Guide to Catching Crabs'.
