Mr King,

I am writing to express the untold pleasure I have experienced from watching your new videos on Youtube. It would seem the injustice that you experienced at the hands of the British media and legal machine has only gone to reinforce your already fearsome musical talent.

You blendy melody, personal experience, opinion and wit and this should be applauded, especially at a time when the pop scene is at best banal, and at worst a barren waist ground full of clones and droids controlled by the big labels.


Again, thanks for the new album and I look forward to more excellent releases.

Yours sincerely,

Liam
P.S Hope you are glad to be back in London

I must say, since the publicity about my Shipman track, I've had an enormous amount of positive posts, comments and messages (as well as the expected negatives - almost universally misspelt and full of obscenities).
Rather justifies the expense of that Guardian ad!

Still my favourite album of the year,it`s a shame not everybody" gets it."

Thank you Mart; it's certainly one of the most unusual albums of the year, which may be why not everybody gets it!

Which is fine by me.

The vast majority must have asked Picasso "why blue?".

Jonathan King, the Picasso of the music world! Not quite maybe, but Earth To King is a masterpiece nonetheless. My car CD player takes six CD's and it has been one of them ever since I bought it. I still haven't tired of listening to it.

I must tell you - more and more of my friends who loathed you from afar are coming around to thinking you might just be very brave and rather right.

Big argument about the Shipman song with 75% agreeing with you.

The times they are a'changing.
