Get ready for yet another update of the OMD Discography as it goes to Version 4. This will be a much more extensive upgrade and will feature the addition of two brand new sections. The splash page is also being redesigned along with some of the section navigation. More details soon.

A new OMD fansite based in Germany is now online. Frank Braun is responsible for this new site which features a biography, discography, media section and links.

The site also features a very impressive photo section with some rare and unsual photos. Click here: www.omd-berlin.de to visit the site.

Andy McCluskey has been interviewed by The Guardian newspaper regarding the forthcoming 80's revival Here And Now Tour and his involvement with Atomic Kitten. The feature is similar to one the Newspaper ran a few months back and you can read the interview here: www.guardian.co.uk/friday_review/story/0,3605,603662,00.html. Thanks to Sara Harvey for pointing this out.

There's also another item at: www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4303384,00.html

Meanwhile, The Atomic Kitten website has won an award at the UK Online Music Awards. The Kittens site won in the category of Best Pop Artist Online. They were also runners-up in the Artist Of The Year category (which was won by Gorillaz).

The December issue of Future Music features an interview with Andy McCluskey as part of an 80's special issue. As well as Andy, the magazine features interviews with Richard H Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire), John Foxx, Phil Oakey (Human League) and Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran). There's also a feature on 80's electronic equipment and a tutorial on how to recreate 80's sounds.

The OMD Forum has experienced some technical difficulties recently. Apologies to all those who tried to post over the past day or so.

The good news is that the Forum is now back up and running again so feel free to carry on posting!

Pat Fetty writes to say he's updated his World Of OMD website with the sheet music for Talking Loud and Clear, Tesla Girls and Locomotion. More sheet music is also on the way.

A cover version of If You Leave is to feature in a new teen movie parody called Not Another Teen Movie. If You Leave is being covered by the band Good Charlotte for the film which also features Marilyn Manson covering Soft Cell's Tainted Love. The soundtrack for the film is due for release on December 4th. Thanks to Roger Erickson for this snippet.

Andy McCluskey has been involved in a few interviews recently, including one with the Liverpool Post on the subject of the Eric's Club scene and also for the Official Beatles Website where they asked him what his favourite Beatles track was (Thank You Girl was the answer). Andy had also been due to take part in a feature for She magazine in the UK on his favourite singles for the January issue. Although the deadline passed on this issue, they'd still like to do a feature on him in the near future.

Meanwhile, Atomic Kitten have been nominated in the Best Pop Act in the forthcoming MTV Awards. The girls will also be presenting an award themselves during the event.

Jim also adds: "as always, if you have recorded a cover version or your own remix of an OMD song, please contact me for details on how to get your tracks added to the site". Go to http://listen.to/omd.covers/ for all the details.
