^same here. They could have done Coachella which is in April I believe, and they haven't for a reason.

One of the reasons that Twitter ain't as bad as we always make out. Fair play Lexxo, bet there's a fair few happy fans today thanks to that gesture.

I tweeted earlier today: Book club verdict on Sound Bites by @alkapranos: Of 15 people, only 2 didn't like it. We got Nye's bouncer to kick them out. Just kidding. Then just now, b/c I'm a dork and saw he was tweeting: @alkapranos Wanted to make sure you know that the book club I'm in LOVED your book - 13 out of 15 intelligent women can't be wrong

pmsl yeah, nearly fits in to the tune of purple rain in my head atm. It's related to his most recent tweet... And yeah, I remember when he messaged me on myspace I went round squeeing in the chin room and all our chins were looking at me like I was nuts. They know me *so* well lol He makes you feel really really good when he sends you a message back. Funny how something so simple can just make your day like that

It is...I think aside from their music, that's what makes me love FF so much - they seem genuinely like guys you could hang out with, have a drink with and not feel like they thought they were "better" than you. And how many singers would do what he did for those Mexican fans today? None that I can think of!

None that I can think of! just for the record, he also put some BZ fans on his guestlist when they were there last year, because you could only win tix through a vodka company or sth like that. some of them told Alex and he made their lives.

Yeah that's right... Tickets were like gold dust. He's a very generous guy and it's great to see that fame hasn't turned him into a selfish f***er unlike so many of his peers. I remember also reading last year that on the afternoon of the NME awards he bumped into a reporter/journo type he'd met before, asked if he'd had lunch and shouted him a fish and chip dinner

fish and chips? then he didn't like the journo very much eh? just kidding ;D it's so nice of him to do it...it's a shame he didn't have spare tix for Barcelona 08
