    I don't think anyone is telling the band how to be a band. I think RoleModelsinBlood31's suggestion for approaching the next album was a good one, and would perhaps produce something more cohesive and engaging than whatever method they've been using the past couple of albums. Both are legitimate methods of writing, and PJ is of course welcome to use whatever method they prefer. But we as fans (and consumers of their music) are allowed opinions, especially on a discussion board, even if the sycophants don't like hearing anything that may possibly be perceived as negative. Are some of you saying that there is no room for improvement in PJ's songwriting and album production process?

    they will start to write and record stuff very soon
    I love your eternal optimism, but seriously is that all it is or do you actually know & how exactly do you know? Same with touring information.

    FWIW, I read an interview that Stone and Mike (I think?) gave a while back, and they said they were personally already working on some stuff for the next PJ album.... I don't recall where to find the interview transcript, but I'm sure someone probably does.

    SHOCKER-Jeff is working on writing music while the band is on hiatus.
    No chance he is doing anything artistic either.

    That article does not have any information beyond the obvious.

    I remember Demetrios posting that & that being revealed. Dimitris's posts come across like he has some inside track on things. I'm guessing he's just going based on what's known. Like the recent interview.

    I believe Stone said that at an interview with one of the Seattle radio stations. The station was doing some fundraising for the Vitalogy Foundation and Mike and Stone were there to talk about that and then were just chatting with the hosts.

    Dimitris doesn't post based on rumor.  He has a connection.

    I don't know.  But he was dead on about Eddie's tour this year, and has been dead on in the past too.

    Fair enough re: tours. Was wondering about the confidence in an album and when they're writing new music.

    I haven't listened to the Ament/Stuverud interview yet -- (I know!) -- but I assumed that bit of banter meant Jeff had been working on material that could be for a new solo or side project.

    Dimitris accurately predicted in advance that PJ would play both Fenway & Wrigley in 2016.

    Dimitris also  predicted 'something special' the night they played either No Code or Yield in concert (maybe both, I can't quite recall)

    Granted, both of those are tour related, but one way or the other he has an inside connection (IDK who it is, nor would I expect him to give it up - his track record is good enough for me).


    If he says there's new music in the works, I'll believe him.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
