That I don't know... I could see a quick release of a new album (didn't I read that Ed said they loads more material to release?) and then another short-shitty-half-assed tour to follow shortly thereafter - just in time to campaign for the elections.

I don't think so... what has he really told us?...nothing. Which is real. Do you really think they are planning something this year?
Stoneg's source, Carter the DJ and JR all said the same thing (independently as far as I can tell) at about the same time, that there was a tour planned and it fell apart.

With regard to their management....
how many of YOU work at companies where one hand doesn't know what the other is doing? That's internal communication - and if it's screwed up inside J records/PJ it's not going to be any better for 10C to the fans.
PJ left Sony because they were "too restricted" among other things. I think part of what we're seeing is a bit of a hands-off management approach. With all the personal changes taking place within the band, it seems that they (PJ) are flexing their newfound freedom.
Again, though - my sore spot is the Euro tour. I was pretty much okay and feeling hopeful until that got announced. I felt really insulted - but got over it. Don't know the circumstances/timing whatever.
I just hope some of what we say gets to the RIGHT PEOPLE.
ARE YOU DOING THAT KAT?
GETTING OUR VIEWPOINTS TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE?
WE REALLY HOPE THAT'S THE CASE.
