New for 2024

[Robson]

Mark about "You and Your Friend" (in an interview at the time): "I like keeping it open for people to use in a way that they want. If you make it specific you spoil it."

I think that's the rule he has mostly followed with his character songs, at least the negative ones. And it makes sense - he's an artist, not a journalist.

This interview lacked You And Your Friend but it is very interesting:

Did not know that Heavy Fuel was inspired by this book:

Hopefully a release date of the new album and more info in the upcoming 2023 months... Can't be long now... right?

We heard of Down the Road Wherever 2 months before release and the single dropped immediately... When the new album is scheduled for early 2024(don't know if thats the case) it can't be long now...

[Robson]

The question is whether they plan to release it in January or closer to spring

[Dutchessy]

Maybe same as Tracker (March)

[jf9081]

In my opinion they will follow the release as it was for Tracker... announcement January release March. Obviously I hope sooner, but it seems impossible... diary 4?? he always says he's waiting for authorization....it's curious ...authorization??...it seems like this time it contains some very important information

[Robson]

Yes. March would be perfect. It's my birthday month

Maybe he talks in his diary about a double album or something... that info would give that away, he isn't allowed to do so he wants to await the official announcement i guess. Something like that?

Simple as that.

He is an unofficial spokesman since the moment he opened the forum and decided to answer all sorts of questions. And as unnofficial, he can say what he can say, and the official announcementa would be made by the official website or/and the press.

The way that time is moving on, it doesn't like an announcement about either the new album or the TCT music is going to be forthcoming this side of the New Year. Thus, no new music to listen to until Spring at least me thinks!

Ideally, to get things going on time and all pieces fitting in the puzzle, the TCT must be announced later this year or very earlier with a release date in March, to coincide with the TCT gigs that annually happen at the RAH the last week of March, and a gig related to that record, hopefully with MK playing!

I really wish next year could be the year when the new MK record is out, the TCT one too and also Local Hero reachs the London stages so the cd of it is released too, but I guess that's too much
