They have under 5 weeks

Stevie just had promotion linked to Grohls documentary. Rumours is just rereleased. It's not logic to put out three songs, when the focus is on a sideproject and a rerelease that sells Pretty well. Then you wait with new work. The gigs sell good too, So there is no need for more promotion yet. We won't see anything before the last week of march, I think.

that was all over a month ago... water under the bridge. considering all that has been going so well, all the more reason to strike the iron while it's hot, no?!

Why not release them earlier than they are?( If they're even going to be released?) If they do that, they might get new fans who want to see them live. Which equals more $$$.

I'm shocked that Stevie agreed to let them be released online. Y'all know her and her views on modern technology. I wonder if she even has a cell phone?

In a perfect world, at least one of the songs would be released next week, a month before they hit the road.

But this is Fleetwood Mac, so we won't hear any of these new songs until we see them performed live. And then only people at the beginning of the tour will hear them because Stevie will demand that they be dropped after the first few shows because of lack of audience reaction.



But that's why we love the Mac.....

Yet another reason why some of us can't stand the whole big machine crap and want back Lindsey solo.

But look at how long it took Lindsey to record and get out Under the Skin. 14 years between it and OOTC. Then again FM stole some of his songs.

yeah - exactly what happens when he gets involved with the big machine and/or listens to the record labels. but that is also water under the bridge and he seems to be well over it since 2005, from Soundstage on, and i hope that kind of period never happens again, and frankly i don't think he'd let it.

• SYW came out in 2003, and the tour was 2003/2004, right?
• Soundstage with most new and tons of never released songs came out in 2005.
• UTS came out in 2006, he toured it 2006/2007.
• Bass Hall live album/DVD came out in 2007 (or 2008?).
• GOS came out in 2008, he toured it end of 2008.
• 2009 was Unleashed.
• 2010 he was hoping for FM album recording, didn't happen so he recorded SWS instead, shopped it around for few months and decided his own label is the best option (great move, no more waiting for any label to decide!).
• 2011 SWS and Songs From The Small MAchine Live in LA came out, he toured SWS in fall 2011.
• 2012 he toured as OMS and released live One Man Show album.

i like this list and activity above, but what i see ahead of us is:

• 2013 FM tour, he wanted to release FM album concurrently, and somebody put a stop to that.
• 2014 - what? trying to get somebody to record FM album? trying to put out BN and record BN2? tour BN? this all could easily not happen, so we will have Mac tour in 2013 and nothing in 2014? or FM album in 2014 and another ultra expensive FM tour in 2015. yuck!!

She acts all against it, but she definitely has a cell phone despite claiming she didn't for a while and she also has and loves her iPad (which is a form of a computer, just for the record, Stevie..)

I figured that she did. Now I doubt that she'll ever use Twitter or something of the sort. I was picturing her with the flip type cell phones.

I wonder what it would be like trying to teach her how to text?

" No Stevie, you must press this button to get to your messages". " Now press that 1 to do a new message. " Enter the phone number that you want to send it too" " Now type the message"

5 minutes pass, " Stevie have you finished your text yet?"

Stevie: "No I got frustrated and decided just to call instead"

Me: "You're harder to teach than my grandmother's dog. You'll never learn.

Her: "I never wanted to in the first place. Mick is the one who wanted me to learn"



Ok, I probably went overboard.

Maybe she changed her mind? They are not released yet and who knows whether they ever will be the way it's been going

Why do We keep letting them get away with not releasing stuff. We should demand that do more stuff. Well demand that Stevie agrees to it.

Come on elle, she was promoting the first song of sound city soundtrack feb. 15th. In the late show. Reissue came out Jan 29th. The Thing sells. Why draw attention off of that by releasing new music for the first time in ten years? No, there's a slightly bit of marketing active here, I guess. They're milking Rumours first. I guess they will not release all three songs at once either.
