This is from the Crystal Castles inbox, which I take care of when the band tours: "this is gavin from alec empire's office in berlin. i was recently given your email my chris at last gang; indeed, you have probably already seen the message i sent. the idea of CC and alec doing some kind of remix swap has been floating around for some time through merok and eventually last gang and i'd like to try and get some better idea of whether or not this would be possible... alec would very much like crystal castles to remix this, a favour he is more than willing to return for the guys. alec is a big fan of their sound and has often mentioned them in interviews recently when asked about some of his favourite musicians these days." All the best Trevor, Andy Alec Empire is just upset because he asked Crystal Castles for a remix and the band didn’t get back to him.

Many months ago, when I informed Mr.Papa of the whole CC issue ,he was unaware of it. The shirts probably didn't sell very well because,as far as I know,there was no M size ,not all your supporters are 200 cm tall as the guy above ;) Some weeks ago I went to Mondobizzaro gallery for the (amazing) exposition of Yamamoto Takato.

I thought it would be very cool to have one of these!
