Burger - Al said that he will be releasing music digitally, and in a singles format. He said doing it that way will keep his music more timely than if he waited to release 12 songs on a CD.

I am sure he'll come to Washington.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

You're correct. It won't be the same as getting an album, but I can see his point. There was an article that I think you posted about how the most popular song on the album was Word Crimes, which Blurred Lines was the oldest song on there. I would actually love to see Al do retro-parody of classic songs and more originals. I also never minded the fact that Al took his time to make a good CD. The worst song on an Al album is the best song on the artist he parody's album.

I probably have a word crime spree in this post. :sorry:

Wonder how the recent Facebook pics of getting gear ready for the tour effects the starting date. I wouldn't think you would get gear ready, and let it sit for months.

Bermuda's page. Boxing things up, teasing us that they'll be doing Want A New Duck, etc.

Just wondered if it was stupid to be getting excited this soon.

But you have to be friends with him to see what he's sharing... Does he accept friend requests from random people just like that? :oo

Ugh, I wish I were friends with him. So I guess IWAND is staying in the medley for this tour!

"Ducks in a row" was not a reference to the song, sorry.

OH SNAP! I am still wondering why the gear is getting ready now rather than later. I would assume just to get the task done, and he won't need the equipment in the near future.

If he isnt going to be usong the equipment between now and the start.of the tour, why not pack it. I pack my suitcase for vacation well ahead of time so its done, plus it helps me think of what i missed
