'Aftermath' out; Michael on TV tonight

"Aftermath," the second single from "Around the Sun," is out this week. The International Maxi CD also includes "So Fast, So Numb" and "All the Right Friends," which were recorded this summer in the band's Athens rehearsal hall. The international and UK 2-track CDs have "High Speed Train," also recorded in the rehearsal hall. Notice Peter in his pajamas, just like he used to run around town in the earlier years. I thought maybe the cover photo was shot here in Athens, but if it was, I can't quite place the location.
