The New Album Thread

I only listened to the EP once. Never again.

He could find that middle ground, I think. Combine that with Stevie's and Christine's (if she rejoins) material, it could prove another FM masterpiece.

If Chris is gonna be involved, I also would love her to share producing duties with Lindsey as well. She has producing experience, albeit not with The Mac, but she needs the flair Lindsey has, while she could curb Lindsey's excesses. Heck, even Stevie's producing ear is improving. Let her have some share.

The label doesn't want it, for one thing. If Lindsey gets experimental, the band will have to release the thing independently. I say good luck getting Mick, Stevie and John to agree to that.

Not going to happen.

Someone should tell those three that independent bands are going big time these days. Okay, maybe they have the whole "aging rocker" thing going against them, but they just need to make a kick-ass album, some name recognition, and it will sell itself.

Accept the reality she's not coming back.

I like being in dreamland because reality sucks.

Lindsey says a new studio album is up to Stevie. Stevie says Lindsey didn't want Christine on stage for more than one song. Stevie would love to do a new Mac album if Christine was on board. Christine would be game if she didn't have to tour. Lindsey appears to want a 100 percent commitment from her or nothing. Stevie meanwhile doesn't appear to want to work with Lindsey on her new songs without some buffer or protection.

They are both painting the other one as tearing at the fabric of the band.

Next Season: The Real World, Fleetwood Mac.

What about Sausalito or the time they spent in France for Mirage -- we never hear them talking about France. Bring in the cameras and the confessional room.

I accepted that reality in 1995, but she came back in 1997, did a solo album in 2004, and has played live on four occasions with Mick, two being Fleetwood Mac, THIS YEAR. At this point, anything's possible.

Ooh the Mirage recording sessions would be fun to know more about. I'm especially interested with Lindsey/Chris stories.

But if your talk nice to me baby...

Wait... FOUR? What's the fourth one? I only counted three.

I think she liked that Dave made her songs bigger.

Two nights in Hawaii and two in London.

I thought Hawaii was only one night? Or maybe the other was a private concert, IDK.

LB is complaining that Stevie won't give him any songs at the same time that Christine is working on new songs for solo material. Are the fates just toying with my head now?
