**** New UK Single Date ****

> Newsflash
> THE BIG NEWS

Hot off the press today is that Delirious? are releasing 'IT'S OK' as their
next official UK single. This song has been dubbed 'the gem of Mezzamorphis'
and will hit the streets on February 21st 2000.

Many of you know by now that we took the song GRAVITY to radio back in May
and didn't have much success with playlists, so decided to pull it so as to
prevent any more disappointment in singles going in and out within a week.
But, this time, we are going all guns blazing for IT'S OK as we have had
such a great reaction from this song live. We know it's time to keep going
and we're not backing down. We know you won't either. Stay tuned for more
info.

Thanks for your response to this poser. Keep them coming in....

For some bizarre reason, Duncan Pole seems to think that Tim looks like
"that bloke Les from Vic and Bob's big Night out, the one who used to wear a
white lab coat and Vic would squirt Jif lemon in his eyes, and he would
unplug his Bontempi organ. I think the reason for such delusions is when he
mentions that "Les and Tim are my HEROES".

Mad Fiddler wishes to include his thoughts on the Tim look-a-like subject by
saying, "Maybe this is an old one, but I think Tim looks like Adrian
Edmundson...certainly more so in some photos I've seen than others!".

As ever Spurious? is on hand with the mental medicine.

**** Song Most Missed ****

Parkers says: "I miss Obsession I was very disappointed when I left the
concert and they didn't play it."

Spurious? says: Obsession has a lot of power in it, and is great live.
Personally I hope for a mellow quartet at my next gig of 'Summer Of Love',
'Blindfold', 'It's OK' and 'Obsession', not least because I'm so unfit I get
shattered while bouncing to Bliss 24/7.

Gareth James says, "I went to see Delirious? in 1998 in Newport and the
concert was excellent. I saw them a year later on the Mezzamorphis tour also
in Newport and I
didn't think it was as good but it was still brill! The problem was that it
lacked three excellent songs: Summer of Love, Touch and (one which should
never be left out in my opinion) Come Like You Promise. Also the video
screen behind the band was much better in the d:tour '98 than in the
Mezzamorphis tour."

Spurious? says: 'Summer Of Love' is a very personal song so I'm not sure if
d: are willing to play it regularly. My very own personal opinion is that
delirious? keep it for those 'special occasion gigs.

Mad Fiddler (again!) says, "Here are the live songs I'd like to hear on the
d: UK gigs this autumn:
~ Bliss (twice please, once at the beginning and as an encore!)
~ Kiss Your Feet
~ History Maker
~ IPOH (inc. video and groovy 60's gear worn by d:!)

Spurious? says: I like the idea of Bliss twice, but I don't think it will
happen!! Kiss You Feet should make it into the line-up while History Maker
is a certainty. I too am looking forward to the hilarious 'In Pursuit Of
Happiness' (IPOH) video!

Doesn't look like d:end to me, what with the new delirious? single due out
in only 129 days. News is still to come on the format of the song - will it
be a radio edit? Will *that* 'offensive' word be cut out? Will it be on two
CD's? - and on the track listing (e.g. an 'It's OK' video, the much vaunted
'In Pursuit Of Happiness' video and/or song and the eagerly awaited unheard
'Everything').

Excitedly yours,

Adam, Adrian, Mike, Mike, Scooby
