I saw the UK version, which had 'Ring Ring' as a bonus track. I also saw a CDR promo with 2 (!!) tracks on it that haven't appeared ANYWHERE yet. The CD case is not a regular jewel case but a SuperAudioCD jewel case (see Emma Bunton's latest album or Goldfrapp's Supernature) though I don't think the disc is a SuperAudioCD itself. The booklet was VERY colorful with 'handwritten' lyrics, cool drawings. Deffo one for Lollipop. He pointed at the last one (on the left side of the last 'spread', so to speak) and said it was his favorite. Can't recall for which song, but it might be on the recording of the interview (EDIT: It's not). One of the later songs, anyway. There is some GREAT stuff coming up. Like a MIKA animated soap opera, where your favorite characters (like Billy Brown) will be interacting... Oh and it IS his voice doing the female stuff on Grace Kelly except for the very first line, that's an actress... Hmmm if the recording is any good I might share some audio bits.

Hah we were talking about the Hips Don't Lie cover... And he was kind of embarassed and he asked me where I heard it. And I told him Sunny Monkey put it on mikafanclub.com... And he went ,,That guy is really on top of things!" and then he said some other stuff that indicated that he knew Sunny Monkey was in touch with management and stuff... I don't recall word-for-word, but that was the basic idea I told him he should release the cover... And he laughed. I said ,,No but it's a really nice cover and it's cool because you start laughing and stuff." and he said ,,Do you have a website?" and I said we did... And he said that maybe we should put it up on our website... The woman from management or the Island said there might be some issues with the BBC but perhaps it would be ok to do it in awhile... So we'll see...

For Gay&Night Magazine and GAY.NL (a dutch magazine and the largest Dutch gay medium). I'm the editor in chief and I discovered Mika about 2 weeks ago and ever since I've been wanting to interview him. He's going to be on the cover of our March issue

It was great... He was sooooo nice. And they had JUST gotten the official album in, and I got to see it... It is one amazing Technicolor package - you'll absolutely love it. When I've worked out the interview I'll definitely post it here Oh and he definitely knows who Sunny Monkey is
