Album rumours abound!

There are all sorts of snippets and rumours about the new DD album, apparently Billboard are reporting that DD have signed to Epic/Sony for 1 CD and 1 DVD (which seems a bit odd as A-ha have just signed a new 3 album contract!). There's still nothing official about which label on the DD site, but the guys are reportedly back in the studio, in London (yay!), re-recording, recording some new stuff, and producing the new album. The bad news is that although we all expected the new album out sometime in May/June it's now scheduled for 'Fall' (you'd think they'd insist on using the proper word 'Autumn', seeing as they're Brits!!). I'm keeping my eyes peeled!!

On other news I'm hotly anticipating the release of the first 3 CDs in a box set - and a miracle happened at the weekend (well, Friday night!). We've got this fantastic new Aiwa hi-fi (one of the ones with a USB link and MP3 capability), and I suddenly wondered if it might, possibly, play my 22 year old Rio cassette. I popped the tape in and pressed play, expecting to hear the first track and then to have the tape gradually slow down and refuse to budge through the second track. To my astonishment it played the whole darn thing! That's the first time in about 15 years that I've been able to listen to it! So I finally got to hear 'Lonely in Your Nightmare', 'Hold back the rain' and 'New Religion' once again! It was the perfect end to the perfect day as I'd finally moved from my dark box of an office with no natural light or ventilation into a nice bright airy office!

I've not touched the web site since last week, but I have a list of things to do! Reviews, lyrics, add the singles, photo gallery (mainly focusing on my gig pics but also some pics from the years), links to other DD fan sites, biographies of all the guys, and of course getting back to work on the scrapbook (where it all started!). Plus the design needs an overhaul already! It was just a quick throw together and I need something better really! That should keep me busy!

I'm planning in the next month or so to start collecting anything I can get my hands on - 7", 12", vinyl albums etc. I told my hubby about this last night and he's, very sensibly, decided to just say "yes dear" to everything I say about DD. I think it's finally dawned that he's second fiddle to Simon & the boys!! Talking of which, I printed one of my photos out (one of the ones where Simon's looking straight down my camera) and popped it into a photo frame on my desk this morning. It's a cute little Love-heart shaped silver frame..... what a way to brighten up my desk!! :-)
