silver Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Oh and this post reminds me of something that has been on my bug list for a while and I always forget aobut : when you get a new pm on mfc, the little popup window says: "You're latest pm blablabla..." . It should, of course, be "Your" and not "you're" Just in case someone can change that It physically hurts my eyes every time that I see it pop up on my screen I asked about this ages ago - in the end I just switched off the alert in user options so that it couldn't annoy me any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 OMG the "your". Sorry I just had to come here and say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 And 'you're' is spelt wrong in Lonely Alcoholic. They've spelt it 'your'. That means Mika personally wrote down the lyrics and no one dares to contradict him:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 http://www.easyflip.co.uk/mikabooklet/book.html Try this! Thank you for that Mary:wink2: It's beautifully set out, I like the hippo:naughty: And the front inside cover, the hidden faces, VERY clever. I've been wracking my brain to think why Lady Janes structure is so famililar, and it just hit me! Hilaire Belloc! I loved her poems as a kid!

I am so impatient to see all the artistic work now, I am waiting for the 25th of may Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Why does it say three songs on the front cover? This must be for the DOWNLOAD only. (That one does not contain Toy Boy). The booklet for the actual EP will be different, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) aren't we a great bunch! btw... love your Mika counter... it also involves your other love! (the other M!) Yes, thanks! My fave, Sorcerer Mickey Why does it say three songs on the front cover?And 'you're' is spelt wrong in Lonely Alcoholic. They've spelt it 'your'. Yes, the 'your' is wrong. In several places, in Blue Eyes, too. And so is the 'who's' in Lady Jane -- it should be WHOSE. And they're missing some apostrophes. I'm not a fault-finder, really, but I do a lot of proofreading in my job, so I can't help it... And the typo IS the very first word you see in the booklet lyrics, so it jumped out at me. Sorry, Mika! I really do love the illustrations, though. Oh and this post reminds me of something that has been on my bug list for a while and I always forget aobut : when you get a new pm on mfc, the little popup window says: "You're latest pm blablabla..." . It should, of course, be "Your" and not "you're" Just in case someone can change that It physically hurts my eyes every time that I see it pop up on my screen I have looked and I can't find the template for that -- it bothers me as well. Believe me, I will change it just as soon as I can figure out where it is. Edited May 13, 2009 by dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdlp Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Amazing! Just love it! But no doubt about it. I'm easily impressed with artistic talent I really cannot wait to buy the book and EP when it comes out Edited May 13, 2009 by hotdlp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilek Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 This must be for the DOWNLOAD only. (That one does not contain Toy Boy).The booklet for the actual EP will be different, I think i think so too. also he said there are 68 pages on the physical EP booklet. and i'm glad he included the lyrics this time.

And the typo IS the very first word you see in the booklet lyrics, so it jumped out at me. Sorry, Mika! Yes, neither am I, but these things just jump at one like you say, and I find that it's a real shame that a piece of work of such quality is tainted by these silly typos. I have looked and I can't find the template for that -- it bothers me as well. Believe me, I will change it just as soon as I can figure out where it is. Oh thanks a lot Deb!

dcdeb Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 BTW, if you didn't see this, they give the list of artists and what pages are theirs in the news section, I think. Here’s the full list of artists involved in the ‘Songs For Sorrow’ book: Front Cover and End Papers Jim Woodring TOY BOY Pages 13-17 Jim Woodring 18-19 Al Columbia 20-21 David McKee 22-23 Peter Blake 24 Walter Van Beirendonck 25 DaWack 26-27 Jim Medway 28 Es Devlin LONELY ALCOHOLIC 32-37 Tao Nyeu 38-39 David McKee BLUE EYES 42-45 Kerascoët 46-47 DaWack LADY JANE 50-53 Richard Hogg 54-55 Huck Scarry 56-57 Sophie Blackall 58 Paul Smith 59 Alber Elbaz 60 Kerascoët 61-66 Nilesh Mistry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
