Oh for the love...

I really really hope Gupfee isn't leading us down a trail of gladly forgotten MJ music and references to his future exploits.'

Ben. Heh. Damn that's a hilarious cover. A halo of retrogoodness surrounds it.

Good photoshop! The name says Michael Jackson, but the picture is of a black male. HAHAHAHA. Kudos!

All I gotta say is, take another close look at that album cover, and then look again at dmax's own icon.

Hmm.

Using http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tamil.htm , the link caterpillar sent http://www.webulagam.com/dictionary/ and downloading a new font from geocities http://www.geocities.com/athens/5180/mylaik.html
these are my translations.

They are very close to what ~cat got for Space's and mart's.
I prefer "cO yi l" rather than "SO MI L", but I can see that they are close.

However, I'm not sure where to go from here?
I have a high confidence level for #3 and #4, so is there a way to translate them? or do we just sound everything out?

vaazh the thu .. soyil .. dee .. pen .. atyil .. malaical?
face the thu .. soil .. the .. bean .. at yil .. magical ?
face the soil, then plant the magical bean. y'all?

looking at the tamil font in the first link, above, I am reasonably sure that the first of my three characters is the consonant "r".

so maybe "real", for mine?

Sorry guys! I totally missed my postcard and it was taken in by assorted pieces of junk mail. Fortunately, Mr. Sapagoo mentioned it in chat and I was able to save it from the bad influence that would have certainly resulted in a life sentence at the landfill... sentencing would have happened on Thursday. After a brief rehabilitation period, it is now happily mingling with a much better crowd of fellow postcards.

Here's the scan:
