The new Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words album "Old ghosts, new ghosts, all ghosts" has been postponed to after summer in order to allow enough time to promote it. The scheduled record release show this coming Saturday (05/27) with FM3, Alvars Orkester and others at Gamlestaden in Göteborg will still happen as planned, but the album won't be available yet (obviously). The set will be recorded for a special 3" CD release to be included in a special "All ghosts" box set. In other Dead Letters news, the previously available "Teeth" release that was posted for free download will be entering the physical world as a hand-packaged, 40-minute CDR.

Julie Forchhammer from Norwegian management company Bpop responds to Edith Backlund's accusations that she was discriminated against (see this post from last week):
The truth is: Elvira Nikolaisen had to cancel the Debaser show on very short notice. Bpop never considered putting on any replacement act, as there were already three bands on the line up. I don't know why Edith Backlund thought that she would play instead of Elvira. I guess maybe some of the Swedes she work with, got a bit eager when they heard Elvira had to cancel? Vidar Vang, Real Ones and Jim Stärk has nothing at all to do with this.
