Hey Daf,

Thanks to you and the guys for the interview!! It was a great read. I also had a lot of fun after with you, so if you want to hang out again just let me know? I left my number on your fridge, so call me, maybe?

UNSUBSCRIBE.

It was such a pleasure man. Thanks for the questions and taking this in stride. I am really looking forward to "You can call me Daf", too. I'll send it over when it's mashed up so you aren't caught on the back foot. Really looking forward to pints when you're in Chicago next. Thanks.

Mate, you're a fucking genius. I am so honoured? The lot of us are. We can't believe you did this. It was an absolute fucking DELIGHT to get to talk to you guys, cheers for taking the time to sit down and let me in.

I will boss over the acapellas and instrumentals you need whenever, wherever. Just shout and I'm on my knees for you. Let's definitely stay in touch. You mad Americans. Shine on you crazy diamond.

Thanks, Daf, to you and the guys for being so cool about this. It wasn't in our wildest you lot would see this, let alone be so supportive. Means a lot.

Smarmy fuck. This is so good, you're going to be unbearable...

If you're still struggling for an album name, maybe call it "not as fucking good"? I still can't believe they put Tobey Maguire's Spiderman in this, and Korn. Like, do you know this person, Daf? Do we have another mirror image we don't know about? Did mum give the third one of us up? Did she see me and think I don't need the third, the second is pretty good? So many questions, so little answers....

Anyway, need to know if you'll be in London 10 October or so. I'm taking the plunge to become a married man, the first Odendaal to settle down. Want to know if you can come look at rings with me. Clapback when you see this?

THIS IS UR CLAPBACK, BRUD.

I don't know what to say, mate. Congratulations!! I'll be there. Don't care if Emma Watson asks me to her budoir, I am there. It's about time, Laura is the perfect package. I'm delighted for you. Going to be a big brother to a married man, fucking wild!! You got plans for the engagement? How off-limits are switcheroo's once you've wedded her down?

I'm just kidding. In before you get on about how I'm a sad, lonely man who needs to find my own apple wagon to get hitch my pony to. Love you bro. Let's do brunch in our finest threads tomorrow and talk about this. I am wearing fur.

Don't tweet without talking to me you twat

Just seen the frankly brilliant mix that's gone up on Bandcamp. Thanks for taking time from wanking over it to send it to me. I'm pretty blown away, how many Tim Taylor the Tool Man sound clips did they get in? The M83 gave me flashbacks to Made in Chelsea - weren't you fucking with one of those girls for a while?

Anyway, pal, rub one last one out and call me. This is huge. A game-changer for you, if we play this right it's going to do a big thing for the band name. Can't believe they released same day as Hangin' are you sure you were not in on this? Whatever, I don't care. Mate. Wank and call, or call and then wank. Just call.

Thought I'd give you a heads up, someone's put your unreleased material online. I don't know what the legal proceedings are in this kind of situation but I thought you might want to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. I didn't even know you were working on something but I couldn't resist a sneaky listen and I have to say, it's probably your best work to date after Rhythm Of The Night. We'll have to get together and collab on something soon.

PS. Looking good on the cover.

x Hel.

We went straight Bey. I think the legal proceedings are to get copiously drunk and mourn my career, since this smokes everything we have ever done. I have proposed marriage to the creators, but they have so far resisted my boyish charms. I'll let you know if I can ring it down with one of the babes who did this work. It's fucking brilliant, and released during #piggate. Cameron gets blowies from hogs, I get confused with Guy Fieri. WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN.

PS. Do you think the frosted tips work with my autumn colouring or....

The Moon is turning blood red,
Cameron boned a pig head,

WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE
IT WAS ALWAYS BURNING SINCE THE WORLD'S BEEN TURNING

Yeah, I'm all about that Sting circa Quadrophenia look. Work it.

Listen, I don't know who this guy is, I don't know what he wants, if he is looking for ransom, I do not have money, but I do have is a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like him. If he lets my album go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for him, I will not pursue him. But if he doesn't... I will look for him, I will find him and I will make him mash the tune 'Uptown Daf' because I am looking for a downtown man.

Right, I am going to wank over this so I'll bell you in a bit. Get ready to shake your meat to the beat, we're going to dubsmash this entire album.
