Red Mosquito

Eh, having heard both SBM and OTE live, I’d take the latter every time. When they premiered OTE in Dublin they blew the roof off the joint.

In London a few Days later the beer lines grew immensely.

The last couple of pages just gave me an aneurism.

Having said that, the audience was largely unengaged for the entire show, save for the 'hits'. Typical Hyde Park crowd - attending for a day's jolly rather than for the music.

A recent aneurysm? You must prefer SBM now.

Don’t remember that happening myself but whatever.

I am still running on the theory that the forthcoming album is not nearly done yet. We’ve had more than a week of a new single but neither have they announced a date or title nor have they played a single other new song live. I am pretty sure this is all they’ve fully recorded so far.

Most are leaning this way. Still, it's not unprecedented to not play more new stuff live before a release. They've only played three shows since August 2016 after all.

I think we should just ask this guy

Spoiler: show

to put "his" vocals on those instrumentals on Avocado Demos. It would probably still be a better album/EP than what's coming from the band.

Maybe he can sing all the Backspacer and Lightning Bolt songs while he’s at it.

maybe the version of Can't Deny Me on the album will be different and better

It already has Brendan’s grubby fingers all over it.

Correct that it is not unprecedented, but if were ready or even close to ready to go, why only release a just finished single, play only that song live, and give no timeline or album title or anything...it just seems like they jumped into a studio, recorded this, mixed it, and then jetted to South America. They’ve said they would release something in a vague way only to have it never come to pass before. See Backspacer EP.

I guess they did more on those sessions, but im sure they dont have the album yet.

ITS Been a week. Chill the fuck out. These guys are rock dinosaurs and aren’t about to do something remotely exciting regarding this release.

You seem stressed 'sleep. You OK?

Is it that apparent? All pretty much okay. Ish. Maybe.

Just looking out for you is all, my man. Keep on ritfw.
