I wonder if the current recording might be centred around Christine because she isn't planning on remaining in the States until rehearsals begin in July? It might be that she only has a limited period of time in which to record and then the focus will turn to Stevie thereafter? It is also likely that Stevie is preparing material and doesn't wish to be rushed. I just hope that she isn't intending upon bringing "pop" songs to the table. I want her to be strange and esoteric - leave the lightweight stuff to Chris and Lindsey. Speaking of which, I suspect "Sad Angel" will be included on the eventual album, albeit with Christine in the mix.
I would prefer that no consideration be given to a tour until an album is completed, but am realistic about the band members' collective greed. On with the show indeed...
