Great news - especially as it seems to be more concrete than 'we'll be doing a new album' - recording schedules, possible song titles etc.

More importantly, good to know that Jem is seemingly in a Frost* = Good frame of mind.

Heartstrings, Lantern, Fathers (and Signs) will be kept for a supplemental EP release as they don't fit with the story.

Um.... I think they might have been the ones with rat poison on.

Still, if you can play a gig with a broken finger, I'm sure a little warfarin won't delay the album. Much.

Signs is only half written currently, it's supposed to be an 7 or 8 minute track, but we ran out of time on the day we were writing it.  :o

We'll finish it before we record it.

I've been guilty of asking someone for directions to the place where I was standing before, though, so it does happen. "Begging your pardon, man behind the curtain, but might you know the way to Emerald City?"

Maybe he meant to ask if you were recording a gnu album. No one would find that beyond the scope of possibility.

The Frost*ie tradition is to drag these things on until the Sun'll come up, Tom Orrow might say.
