The Fountain is the eleventh studio album from Echo and the Bunnymen, and the fifth since their reformation in 1997.
It features a guest spot from Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who contributed to a track after he signed on head Bunnyman Ian McCulloch for production duties on A Rush of Blood to the Head. McCulloch has stated to the U.K.’s Sunday Mail that this album sounds like a debut record, and that he has his “…crocodilian spike back, that way I write lyrics about everything but nothing specific.” The Scottish songwriter John McLaughlin produced The Fountain. prefixmag

Country: Germany
Released in 2009
Punk is dead...we're the zombies
Dead Candy sind geprägt vom Post-Punk der späten 70er/frühen 80er.
Frech, vorlaut, sarkastisch und kreativ werden Elemente von
Goth, Wave, Punk und gelegentlich etwas Grunge zu einem alternativen
Brei verarbeitet, der gerne über den Tellerrand schwappt...
Zu groß für Schubladen, zu klein für die Bretter die die Welt bedeuten,
auf dem Weg in weite Hinterköpfe; mit dem Ziel nie erwachsen zu werden.
Im Kampf gegen Sgt. Pepper und eine Welt in der Freiheit scheinbar nicht
mehr als Stacheldraht bedeutet...

Biografie
Vorgeschichte:
John Doe und Robin Sane spielten in diversen unbekannten Bands und Projekten zusammen.
Sie waren Mitgründer des ehemaligen Saarländischen Künstler-Kollektivs Vox Aeternitatis und organisierten mit der Gruppe regelmäßige Abende mit Gedichtlesungen, Musik-, Klangexperimenten u.ä…
Anfang 2005 gründeten sie mit Michael ‘Vidgard’ Ganster, in der nähe von Saarbrücken, die Psychedelic-Punk-Band Dead Candy.
Nach Mischas kurzfristigem Ausstieg konzentrierten John und Robin sich vorerst auf ihre Solo-Projekte (John: Lichtschwarz und Splitterwerk / Robin: Jellin Sane, später in Robin Sane & The Strange Eyes umbenannt ) und gründeten schließlich das Avantgarde-Projekt The Strange Family.
Ante Mortem:
2006 stießen die beiden auf Lestan Zeroe von LessCupid,
ließen The Strange Family fallen und reanimierte Dead Candy.
Sommer 2007 verließ John die Band, um in die Schweiz auszuwandern.
Etwas später zog Lestan nach Köln.
Post Mortem:
Um nicht ständig hin und her pendeln zu müssen, wurden Songideen und Fragmente größtenteil per Internet verschickt und nur sporadisch im jeweiligen Wohnzimmer aufgenommen.
Auf diesem Wege entstand 2008 das Debüt-Album "Post Mortem", das labellos und in limitierter Auflage nur über die Band selbst vertrieben wird.
Zudem stieg Robin bei LessCupid ein.
In dieser Zeit wurde Dead Candy mehr zu einem zusammengelegten Solo-Projekt der beiden, da kaum Songs zusammengeschrieben werden konnten.
Restart:
Im Frühjar 2009 wanderten Lestan und Robin nach Berlin ab und versuchten unter anderem Dead Candy als Band neu zu definieren.
Am 11.September erschien mit dem Freeload Mini-Album Splitterfrieden das erste Ergebniss.
Alles weitere wird wegen akutem Zeitmangel zum Jahresende verschoben...

Just posted an update from Mark Mori, (the first in a while ) ... "Summer 09 and finally an update. The CD, titled “…and the candle flickers” is finally recorded, currently being mastered and we hope to have it available very soon. We are back out gigging again, had a few outings this year already and our new guitarist Chris (Mori) has settled in great. The most recent show was August 28th Bank Holiday weekend at Persecution, Stockton. The event was billed as an 80's night, we requested this, thought it would be very apt. Thanks to Tracey, Sikboy and Lisa for organising it. Went down great and we just about managed to pull off an unrehearsed cover of Aha's “The Sun Always Shines on TV”. Here's a photo from that gig... We have some new tracks both on the CD and in the live set, the first is “Jesus Only” – a Mori track originally from circa '91. The 2nd being “High Ground” which is a remix of a track by my later (mid-90's) band “Syndicated”, but fits into the MMUK set well. Thanks to Austin for permission to use it, although Austin is an ex-Mori guitar hero himself so didn’t see too many problems there. Hope you like ..em! We are actively looking to book more events in the coming 6 months and will keep you posted with bulletins. Until then, take care and stay well". Mark x

Don't think I need to introduce Fever Ray to anyone by now as it's been one of the most commented artists of the last months, since her first record out of The Knife was published. That's why I'm just going to limit myself to talk about this limited 7 inch record it just came out exclusively on Rough Trade last Monday. Originally only available to fanclub members or on tour you can now get one of the 100 copies they have between their two shops or at the shop online. It consists of two cover versions of Nick Cave's Stranger Than Kindness and Vashti Bunyan's Here Before. Although both songs are a bit mysterious and spooky when performed by the original artists here they get to new limits of strangeness and obscurity because of her voice and the arrangements of Van Rivers and The Subliminal Kid that, although they are also present in some tracks of her album, they are introduced here as full members of the project appearing on the cover as active performers of the two songs. I particularly prefer the Vashti Bunyan attempt as it travels from the pastoral landscapes to a completely new territory of sampled voices and electronic arrangements that makes you forget this is not an original and let's not forget that the main reason for a cover should be about this.

The late John Peel — the legendary BBC DJ who turned generations of music fans on to new and obscure bands during his nearly 40-year career — will be celebrated this fall with a 4CD, 73-track box set called Kats Karavan: The History of the John Peel Show that features 21 never-before-released recordings.
Due out Oct. 26 in the UK, the collection — named after the program on Dallas radio station WRR on which Peel made his broadcast debut in the early 1960s — features singles, album cuts and Peel Session recordings by some of the DJ’s favorite artists, although well-known Peel faves The Undertones, Joy Division and The Chameleons are notably absent.
The set is divided by era, with the 1960s and ’70s represented on Disc 1, and the subsequent three discs each covering the ’80s, ’90s and ’00s. The collection features a number of rarities, including, on the ’80s disc, previously unreleased Peel Session recordings by The Cure (”A Forest”), Elvis Costello (”High Fidelity”) and Soundgarden (a cover of The Beatles’ “Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey”). The most obscure inclusion, however, is a recording of Free’s “Walk In My Shadow” that was thought to have been destroyed; it recently was discovered on some old reel-to-reel tapes.
Compiled by Universal Music with the approval of Peel’s family, the set is an attempt to recreate one of the DJ’s radio shows, even going so far as to include bits of Peel’s own between-song chatter that has been recovered from old cassette tapes. The collection also includes rare and unseen photographs, as well as personal recollections from many of the participating artists who pay tribute to Peel five years after his death.

Peter Hook’s Freebass finishes first album, preps debut EP ‘Two Worlds Collide’http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2009/09/29/freebass-peter-hook-andy-rourke-mani-new-order-smiths-stone-roses/ wrote:
Former New Order bassist Peter Hook’s long-gestating Freebass project — which also features the four-stringed talents of The Smiths’ Andy Rourke and Gary “Mani” Mounfield of The Stone Roses and Primal Scream — is poised to release its debut EP, dubbed Two Worlds Collide.
The four-track collection will be released “soon” by Hook’s just-launched — and appropriately named — Hacienda Records, although an official release date isn’t set, according to fan site NewOrderOnline.com. The EP features vocal appearances by The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess, ex-Wah! singer Pete Wylie and, apparently, notorious drug smuggler Howard Marks. Hooky himself handles the mic on the EP’s final cut, “Live Tomorrow You Go Down.”
The news, of course, comes as Hook’s ex-bandmate Bernard Sumner prepares to release the debut LP by his new band, Bad Lieutenant, which also features New Order drummer Stephen Morris and late-era guitarist Phil Cunningham. Never Cry Another Tear is due out Oct. 6, and the band will make its live debut later in the month.
Hook first began punting the idea of Freebass as far back as 2004 — before New Order’s 2007 dissolution — saying he envisioned the three bassists playing together: “Mani does the low part, Andy Rourke in the middle and I do the high bit,” Hook told the NME in 2005. “But it works out quite well.” In the ensuing years, the trio recorded with a number of vocalists, including Liam Gallagher, Ian Brown and Billy Corgan.
This summer, Freebass finished work on its debut album and mixed the as-yet-untitled record’s 12 tracks, plus the four cuts that comprise the forthcoming EP. For the album, the majority of the vocals are handled by Haven singer Gary Briggs, with Monaco drummer Paul Kehoe filling out the band. (Hear samples of three songs that didn’t make the cut.)
As Hook opened his “mixing diaries” on Freebass’ MySpace page this summer:
“At last the writing has been finished and apart from a few b-side things to finish, the point has come to finish the project. I started work with Mani and Rourky, with Roger Lyons engineering on 2/1/2004, Since then we have had a lot to do, not least on my part New Order until we split up! DJing all over the place, gotta pay the bills, ain’t we?”
Yet Freebass isn’t Hook’s only current project; next week in the U.K., the bassist’s book “The Hacienda: How Not to Run a Club” will be published, and he’ll also see the release of the new 2CD set Hacienda Acid House Classics he compiled.
Tracklist: Freebass, Two Worlds Collide
1. “You Don’t Know This About Me” (f/ Tim Burgess)
2. “Milky Way Is Our Playground” (f/ Pete Wylie)
3. “Dark Starr” (f/ Howard Marks)
4. “Live Tomorrow You Go Down”
Video: Gary Numan and Nine Inch Nails perform ‘Cars,’ ‘Metal’ in HDQuote:
Perhaps ramping up excitement for a possible Gary Numan collaboration, Trent Reznor this week posted a pair of high-quality HD videos on Nine Inch Nails’ site of NIN performing with the synth legend at a July concert in London. Numan, who also appeared at some of NIN’s final live appearances last month, is shown performing his hits “Cars,” above,” and “Metal,” after the jump, with Reznor and his bandmates.
As for the (non-touring) future of NIN, Reznor writes on the band’s site: “We’re beginning work on a variety of things NIN and not-NIN related that we’ll inform you of when the time is right. Check back from time to time and who knows what you’ll find.”

http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2009/10/01/bbc-peel-sessions-concert-recordings-punk-ska-new-wave/ wrote: The BBC and EMI recently struck a new partnership to digitally release archival recordings — mainly Peel Sessions and In Concert episodes recorded between 1977 and 1981 — from punk, post-punk, New Wave and 2 Tone-era ska acts such as Duran Duran, Public Image Ltd., The Specials and Gang of Four.
The “digital EPs” and full-length concert recordings — many of them previously unreleased — will be issued in near-monthly clusters and sold as downloads through online retailers such as Amazon.com (the first batch doesn’t appear to be available on iTunes).
September saw the release of five Peel Sessions from The Stranglers, ex-Sex Pistol Glen Matlock’s Rich Kids (two different EPs), The Skids and 999, while November’s slate includes another five Peel Sessions, including another set from The Skids, plus PiL, Gang of Four and two from the Angelic Upstarts.
But the real bonanza comes in December, when BBC starts rolling out the In Concert recordings, with shows on tap from Duran Duran, The Specials, Ultravox, The Selecter, The Stranglers and more, plus more Peel Sessions and Kid Jensen Sessions from the likes of Fun Boy Three and Dexy’s Midnight Runners.

The Cure’s ‘Disintegration’ gets 3CD deluxe reissue in 2010, plus ‘In Orange’ on DVDhttp://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2009/10/08/the-cure-disintegration-tracklist-reissue-remaster-deluxe-edition/ wrote:
The Cure will reissue its 1989 masterwork Disintegration in an expanded and remastered 3CD edition next spring, Robert Smith announced today, the first salvo in what appears to be a flood of new archival releases from the legendary band — including the first-ever DVD release of 1987’s long-out-of-print “In Orange” concert film.
Squelching concerns — noted on this site, and others — that the Cure’s reissue program was in trouble, Smith announced on the band’s Web site that the new edition of Disintegration will be released in a triple-disc expanded edition, as well as single-CD and double-vinyl formats, “worldwide in spring 2010 on Universal and Rhino.”
Like the previous Cure reissues, the album will feature a second disc with Smith’s home and studio demos for the album; the Disintegration rarities disc features 20 songs recorded in 1988 and 1989, including album cuts and b-sides, plus previously unreleased tracks “Noheart,” “Esten” and “Delirious Night” (Smith’s post lists his solo cover of Wendy Waldman’s “Pirate Ships” — originally recorded for Elektra Records’ Rubáiyát compilation — as previously unreleased, but he did offer it up as a download on the band’s Web site a few years ago). (See full tracklist below.)
The third disc, labled Entreat Plus, features an expanded, 12-track edition of that 1990 live album, fleshed out to include live versions of each song off Disintegration, assembled in order, from a concert at London’s Wembley Arena in 1989.
Smith explains that the single CD and double vinyl only will feature the remastered 12-track album (it’s worth noting that Disintegration originally was released on vinyl as a single record without so-called “bonus tracks” “Last Dance” and “Homesick”). The Cure frontman also writes that “it is likely a remastered version of the original eight-track Entreat live album will be made available online.”
But most tantalizing to fans is Smith’s sign-off: “There will be a lot more remastered Cure stuff in 2010… including Mixed Up 2…” (apparently a sequel to the 1990 remix album) as well as “The Cure @ The BBC box set… ‘In Orange’ and (1993 concert film) ‘Show’ on DVD… and…”

Mick reviews:
DARK DISSOLVE - SORROW LEND ME WORDShttp://mickmercer.livejournal.com/984784.html wrote:
DARK DISSOLVE
SORROW LEND ME WORDS
Own Label
So here we are with another impressive debut, all Gothy with a folky/orchestral crossover atmosphere going on in suitably empathic shadowy intrigue, and a bit of punk grit thrown in .
‘Solstice Song’ sounds sweetness and, well, blight really, as apparent calm coalesces with lyrical loathing, ensuring an abrupt slap of reality slots into place while musically the harp falls like gentle rain across the balmy rhythm. ‘Go Away’ has more mournful strings, with the vocals revealing, ‘I hope you never learn, how much I really loved you’ which works if the person never hears the record I guess. The tune marks time to allow the message its full weight of self-inflicted woe. The boot’s on the other foot in ‘This Misery’ with our protagonist hoping for freedom, but the tune sounds a bit weird, because the vocals are a bit droney/moany, and instead of providing a sharp contrast the guitar seems almost wilting in the mix.
I enjoyed ‘Normal’ best, beginning with more luminous harp and soft strings stirring then it has a dual life, a place of jaunty relief but also nimble dark twists, the song pouring, then trickling. ‘Zombie Nation’ betrays their punkier roots, implying that in the modern world we’re already dead and scampering around in an effective way but here, if anywhere, they could have explored the percussive possibilities of a harp I reckon. It doesn’t have to be a sweeping, shivering instrument of beauty and if you’ve got one, use it, that’s always been my harp-related motto.

IN AURORAM
WHEN DAYLIGHT FADES
Wave
Unless you’re mad you come here to hear about fabulous artists and this Brazilian couple should appease your demands. Ricardo Santos handles sound, Astéria creates her own. Together they bridge that gap between astute orchestral emotional suggestion, and Ethereal magic. The press release says it’s something to do with William Blake but I wouldn’t know. Never met the guy.
The exquisitely filmic instrumental ‘When Daylight Fades’ ushers you sensitively into place, synth and piano entwined, guitar following on, and it’s such a bright, bold example of simplicity. The vocals can be sung in English and during the airy ‘Time’ they float across the slowly strummed wrinkles and rise lazily into the ether, the piano nicely brittle. ‘Reconditum, Spiritum’ and the equally relaxing ‘Frost Storm’ manage to establish a presence somewhere between the worlds of Ataraxia and Angelo Badalamenti.
Strings make ‘Concentus’ a vibrant twilight serenade fraught with tension and ‘Turva Aurora’ is slowly demented under an angry sky. It’s all impressive but the only problem I have is that by ‘My Anguish’ the flow to the sound is fairly staid, as it is with most Ethereal artists, so things tend to concertina and you’ve really got one huge piece divided into smaller songs, they’re that close at times. It’s a shame they can’t strip the sound out more at times which would only emphasise how good they are individually, or how certain instruments can shine. Keeping tracks generally inflated tends to equalize impact and sensations.
‘Untrue Bliss’ is peakier, sorrowful vocals piercing across contemplative piano, like Qntal with a toothache and the espionage furtiveness of the darker ‘Peace Or Sword’ is lovely. Nagging, spindly, refreshing. ‘A Lifetime Of Trials’ is am ambient sorbet, ‘Send Me A Confort’ ratchets up the creepometer with some whispering style, just as ‘Mortuus Virgo’ covers everything with an artistic sense of shade. ‘Over The Ashes’ is semi-funereal, but with the reedy hint of drama and intrigue, then the holistic charm of ‘Holy Sin’ bathes its ecclesiastical slumbers with a sense of things ending, and it makes for a fitting close on a record which doesn’t quite stamp a sense of the majestic or eerie into its atmosphere enough for me, but it is comprehensively beautiful and transporting, and for a debut it's pretty special. Ah, and for those who visit the wonderful shop at Wave’s site (I have my eye on a few items there) you can also snare the limited edition which includes a second CD of ten more songs.

SPECIMEN 1983 photobookhttp://mickmercer.livejournal.com/984953.html wrote: 
360 pages, 504 photos. Details behind the cut.
This book (the first of a three part series) contains 504 photos of Specimen, along with some of their friends, colleagues and musical cohorts, in their original glory days, and these are some of the best images imaginable, and also some of the worst, included due to their rarity. Look extra close and beyond the classic Ollie, Jon, Jonny, Kev and Jonathan lineup you might spot a Flesh For Luluee, an Alien Sex Fiender or three, maybe even Danielle Dax.
Put together this collection really is a perfect snapshot of those times. There are posed photos alongside exciting gig shots from Camden Palace, Hammersmith Church, Heaven, the Lyceum, Rayleigh Crocs ands the Titanic Club, plus Batcave Tour dates from Brighton, Bristol, Nottingham Rock City, Derby Blue Note, Hastings and Leeds Warehouse. A nostalgic treat from a time of stunning artistic creativity and songs of mischief.
You should know there are no Batcave photos here, because there are a great many of them, which I have already included in the two Batcave volumes also available, details of which you can find in the back of the book.
The whole book is available to view in the preview at the url provided, so please give that time to load. You need to register with Lulu to buy, then stick with basic postage. If you live outside the US or UK, where their main printers are based, do not use anything other than economy rate (normal air mail in other words) and if in the UK just go with flat rate, not express.

The first four annual Mercerville titles are now available covering 2002-2005, and while they’re mainly for me to have, as a handy way of seeing what I wrote online during those years, I think the content may appeal to some people retrospectively, just as the imagery could interest, which is why I have made them generally available. While Mercervilles 2002 and 2003 were positively pregnant with music-related and genre-specific content, Mercervilles 2004 and 2005 signal the change to the singularly personal material, which is why these titles are trimmer, and cheaper.
What I like about them is that if someone totally unaware of why these arose were to flick through one in a shop they would seriously wonder what precisely they were looking at. All four can be viewed in their entirety through the previews available on the urls provided, and I recommend you do so, if only to enjoy some of the photos. Mercerville 2005 in particularly benefits from the array of pictures I took when Lynda directed a Goth version of ‘Patience’ by Gilbert & Sullivan. I really like those images as there’s just something wholly surreal about the experience.
MERCERVILLE 2002 - £12.99
This features the material I began writing online after I had finished my book 21st Century Goth, but before my online magazine THE MICK came into being, and includes some photos from 2000 and 2001, but kicks off with livejournal postings during the Spring of 2002.
The majority of the material is looking at websites relating to all aspects of Goth and Post-Punk activity, but there are also interviews with me which appeared during the year, based either around my book or the various photo-based CD archives I made available. I have taken the liberty of reprinting these ancient online interviews. I am sure those who were responsible won’t mind, as the answers were, of course, provided by me in the first place. These include Nihilism On The Prowl and Scanner zine asking about Punk memories/thoughts generally, with Goth-related interviews by El Labertino, At Home With Gothic Toybox, Dark Culture, Rosa Selvaggia, Morbid Outlook, Starvox (twice), Thomas Tyssen and Obskure. The music reviews I did during this time have ended up in THE MICK itself, so here I concentrate on some of the odder material I found on tv instead, including Teenage Kicks: The Witch Craze, Dave Gorman’s Important Astrology Experiment, Faking It, Spine Chillers and The Mutter Museum. The book includes masses and masses of online recommendations for sites, and journals, and I do mean masses, alongside photos of various statues, churches and graveyards from the West Sussex and Surrey area. 130,412 words in all, along with various images and 159 of my photos.
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-b ... 02/7722652
MERCERVILLE 2003 - £12.99
During 2003 I started doing my online magazine THE MICK. I also now publish book versions of the magazine, containing the musical content. Mercerville 2003 contains the other type of material, some originally included in the magazine, but making more sense in this context.
You will encounter photos of statues, cats, churches and gargoyles, alongside tons of site reviews, and a report on The Ghost Room in Arundel. There are several chapters of a pathetically crude version of Hound Of The Baskervilles. Books reviews also crop up here, such as Dave Thompson’s Dark Reign Of Gothic Rock book, Clint Catalyst’s Cottonmouth Kisses, Toyah’s autobiography, and The Eclipse by Antonella Gambotto. Films, you say? Well, there’s the Daredevil movie, Love Actually, Kung Pow: Enter The Fist, the second Matrix film, and a video of ancient witch film ‘Haxan.’ From TV we find Cover Girl Killer (ancient crime film), Invitation To A Hanging, The Madness Of Prince Charming documentary about Adam Ant, American Vampires, Peep Show, Dracula Pages From A Virgin’s Diary, Anna In Wonderland. There is some musical content too, but not following the magazine guidelines. There’s an interview Lance Hahn (R.I.P.) did with me which will never now see the light of day, about Punky things, and from my journo past snippets from some ancient interviews with Toyah, Sunshot, Weller, Tenpole, Jazz Butcher, David Cassidy? There’s also a weird encounter with Then Jerico (trust me, Mark Shaw was a class act). 188,796 words, with 336 of my photos.

MERCERVILLE 2004 - £9.99
This includes a look at historical re-enactment through the seasoned eyes of campaigner Ralph Mitchard (he of Animals & Men), charming cats and reviews of books, film and tv, including THIR13EN, Murder She Wrote, further filthy Sherlock Holmes adaptation, Gothic II, The Dead Dave Files Vols 1 – 4, Black Books, a look back at the opening episode of Buffy plus several Buffy novels and comics, a further trip to see Les Mis and (unusually) being allowed to take photos, different productions – modern and traditional - of The Mikado, different productions of Yeomen Of The Guard, some church and graveyard photography including the spooky mural inside Chaldon church, Van Helsing, Who Got The Bay City Rollers’ Millions?, Little Lady Fauntleroy, the Keith Barrett Show, Midsomer Murders, The Magic Roundabout, 101 Embarrassing Sexual Accidents (oh, now you’re interested!), the life of Mary Jane Seacole, The Music Of Razors, Hellboy, odd statues, a look at the NME’S woeful ‘Goth’ magazine, and a trip to Cornwall, including bizarre creations inside The Eden Project. A nice mixture, I hope you’ll agree, of inspiring weirdness and character.
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-b ... 04/7751821
MERCERVILLE 2005 - £9.99
It has the Patience delights going on, but much more besides, including Lynda’s other shows - Iolanthe with frogs, bears and spear-wielding faeries, a Lynda-organised Tsunami benefit, Christopher Columbus, Carousel, Die Fledermaus. And when I’m not being all cultured? Whatever Happened To Harold Smith?, The Rotters Club, Blood On The Turntables, another old interview with moi, the return of Dr. Who, Valiant, Ronald Knox’s amazing spoof radio broadcast of 1926, Lord Buckley, When Blue Peter Became Abba, a trip to Crete, the passing of our adorable Sammy cat, The Curse Of The Omen, Sir Henry At Rawlinson End, a trip to Kent, complete with squirrel on gravestone and Canterbury Cathedral ghostliness, 24 Hour Party People, The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. Cute, lovely as it is lively, with a certain atmosphere.
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-b ... 05/7752292
http://stores.lulu.com/mickmercer - everything in one place. You have to register with Lulu before buying, which is simple. Unlike Createspace they package their books properly, but one title alone costs. Postage works out fine when ordering more than one book and is comparable to any firm. If ordering from outside the US or UK where their main printers are based only use economy airmail (which is the same as normal airmail), as their other rates are too expensive, because they go by courier. Within the US and UK stick to basic post.
