Every Which way but Loose

Hello there,
Well its been a very busy time of late, we're back in Glasgow for a couple of weeks before we go off globetrotting again. We've been all over the shop, UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Spain, Germany, Sweden. Every Which Way But Loose (only without an orangutang). Aiports and Planes, Minibuses, lots of travelling, lots of waiting around. People often say to me, "Gav", they say, "How do you all cope with all the travellling and waiting about?" "Celebrity Lookalikes" i reply.
Celebrity lookalikes is the most fun you can have in an airport/any place that you have to wait about where there are other people. You can probably guess from the name what the point of the game is. Spot people who look like someone famous. Its not about getting a spitting image, its more about seeing someone who looks a bit like someone famous and has particular features that makes you think of said famous person, often more like a caricature of the celebrity. You then turn round discretely and say, "Check out *insert celebrity lookalike here*" And theres the fun, everyone you are with looks about to try and spot the celebrity lookalike. If you get spotted looking by the celebrity lookalike its a bit of a brassneck, but once you start, its compulsive stuff. Many laughs have been had by us playing this game over the years, so have a go at it, i guarantee you will enjoy it.
Have fun.... Gav

Hola como podran ver no escribo en ingles por que soy de chile y aqui hablamos en español, descubri su grupo por una pagina que alberga a muchos grupos entre ellos bjork, cocteau twins, bueno son estos los que mas me interesan. Desde que los encontre he buscado informacion de ustedes, vi sus videos en youtube.com y por otros lugares baje un par de canciones y unas fotos del grupo. Se podria decir que ya soy toda una fan de ustedes.
Espero que su gira sea de lo mas productiva.

Well, people never seem to get bored with "Celebrity lookalikes"...the funniest part is that one of these days you might get famous and people will start seeing camera obscura everywhere...

I love trees and one of my favourite hobbies is to travel around trying to find remarkable trees to photograph and then post it on my blog...last Thursday I found a great English oak (of course we don't call it "english"!!!) while listening to your last (great) album...Among all I love "If looks could kill", the perfect tune to dance naked in the rain...

I just have one question: when will give us the pleasure to see you performing live in Portugal??

All the best,

Pedro (somewhere in Portugal)

Cheers to all! I´m a huge portuguese fan, and I´m glad that i can see you in a near future! You are comming to a gig in Coimbra, Portugal in the end of the month, don´t you? Sorry about my english, is far from perfect.
I´d like to say too that your last album is simply gorgeous, what pop should always be!I love Tears for affairs, is awesome! Adictive, fun,simply vicious..
I wish you all the best for your musical carreer!
Another thing, i´m making a portuguese movie about social and cultural life of teenage students in college. Is there any chance that Tears for affairs could entry in the movie soundtrack? Just asking.

Thank you for your trully inspiration
