Jeff informed us that Ocean Colour Scene had to postpone their US tour. According to their official site, Damon Minchella has had a "reaccurence of tendonitis in his wrist". They are looking to reschedule later this year.

Hey all! Time for us to give even more cool stuff away! This time it's a GREAT promo prize package chock full of OCEAN COLOUR SCENE merchandise. We're not messing about, either: the winner will receive all three of the band's domestically released discs (including the brand new "Mechanical Wonder,") an OCS t-shirt (VERY nice!), and some OCS stickers. If that's not all, we'll throw in a Paul Frank designer alarm clock and a Paul Frank bracelet.

This year's England World Cup song "(How Does It Feel To Be) On Top Of the World" was co-written by Ian McCulloch and Johnny Marr . It is set to be released on June 1st. The track also features all the Spice Girls on backing vocals, as well as contributions by members of Space and Ocean Color Scene . Also scheduled for release is "Three Lions 98" from the Lightning Seeds , a reworking of their prior World Cup theme.
