Best friends,

My first computer was a PC and connected to the internet using dial up. It was actually my mom's and she used it mainly for writing papers while she was in University. I would from time to time write papers for school on it but mainly I used it late at night to write love letters. I would sneak down from my room after everyone had gone to bed and I would furiously type my deepest darkest thoughts and then anxiously dial up and wait as the computer painfully connected and then I would sit sweating and worrying as the hour glass spun in front of my tiring eyes.

Nowadays when wireless isn't working at lightening speed I quit the browser I'm using, swear and reload over and over again...my brain can't even comprehend dial up...its like imaging life after death...or what meeting Santa would be like...anyway...our new record comes out this Tuesday July 24th in North America and we have the greatest news for those of you that live in all the places around the world listed below because THE CON will be available on iTUNES and other digital stores next week in the UK, Europe, Scandanavia, Australia, and elsewhere!!! So I'm going to be grateful for that today as well as be thankful that dial up no longer plagues me the way it did when I was nervously sending love letters from my moms old PC in the kitchen...

Also, look below for links to pre-order the album this weekend in Canada and the US, and don't forget that the whole album is streaming right now on Myspace!

With great excitement,

Tegan, signing off.
