guess I'm importing it after all

So, I went out today to buy the US edition of Elbow's "The Seldom Seen Kid", expecting it to have the bonus track from the UK CD as I had read it had. Well, it doesn't - so if that's what you're holding out for, looks like you've gotta spend a little extra money to get 'We're Away'. Oh well - it will totally be worth it.

And, as a point of interest, the sticker on the front of the CD reports that it features 'One Day Like This' [first US single/second UK single], 'Grounds For Divorce' [first UK single], and 'Mirrorball'. Come on boys, 'The Bones Of You' is totally the best single choice on the album - don't pass it up.

Y'know, this really pisses me off. I wanted to buy the US version to show them that they've got some love here in the states but I'll have to buy the UK version because it has more. So, I'm obviously buying the UK version. UGH.

I'm fine with "Mirrorball" being a single, but would also be quite happy with "The Bones of You" and "Weather To Fly" too. But I suppose asking for five singles is a bit much, eh? ;)

Well, we USED to get 5 singles off Elbow records, so it's really not entirely impossible.

But I wouldn't hold my breath. ;)
