Slacker sent me a quick e-mail today asking if I had an opinion on Andy Bell's new solo album Electric Blue.  Most of you know Erasure is my favorite music group, even when they're singing other people's songs.

Andy's most recent piece with Erasure just came out in January.  Nightbird was released shortly after Andy revealed he had been living with HIV for more than six years.

It's nice to see his solo debut is already on store shelves (I thought, as did Slacker, that it came out next week; oops).  As I told him, I listened to the song excerpts on Andy's site and liked what I heard.  It's very Erasuresque yet different.  I've already ordered my copy.
