>> Lost in TV: hidden track
Remember all the fuss trying to access and hack the Positivity track on Lost in TV? There's actually a very simple way: press Enter at the moment the band leave the room during Stay Together! Here's the statement at suede.net, the official website:
Suede unveil a sneak preview of their forthcoming album in a "secret" section of their Lost In TV DVD. A work-in-progress version of new song Positivity is included as a hidden track, along with camcorder footage of the band working on the song and playing basketball in the grounds of Parkgate studio! A Suede spokesperson says: "We'd hoped to keep the track a secret until nearer the release of the album, but keen fans discovered it pretty soon after the DVD hit the shops."
Suede fans have been trying all manner of complicated procedures to access the song since word got out on various fan sites, but the hidden material is actually very easy to access. "One of the funniest bits on the DVD is when the band all walk out of the room during Stay Together," says the spokesperson. "So we thought it would be fun to stick Positivity in at that exact moment - as if they've actually left the room to watch something new."
