possibly a new LB CD, or better yet Mac with CM!

Between UNDER THE SKIN [2006], GIFT OF SCREWS [2008], SEEDS WE SOW [2011] and the live album, plus the more recent THIS IS 40 soundtrack, he's been quite profilic in the last eight years or so.

I would love to see a new Mac record with contributions from Christine, even if she only participates in the studio and doesn't tour. But I just don't see that happening...even given the Hawaii appearance, it's just been too long, you know?

I sincerely hope that she proves me wrong, though! I really think Christine was the glue in FM. Lindsey will probably always be the main reason I listen to the band, and, even though I'm not a huge Stevie fan, I think she has written some of the best FM tunes, particularly on SYW.

But Christine...her voice and presence were just so important to the band, and I'm honestly not sure if I even realized that until she was gone. Because she left a big hole. Even the songs from SYW that have her backing vocals stand out from the rest of that record. I'd love to see the band record a studio version of "Temporary One" for a new album. But even if she just stopped by and sang on a couple of songs, that would be enough.

However...! Stevie has made it pretty clear that she's not in favor of recording a whole album of new material. Let's hope that, with producer Mitchell Froom helping Lindsey out behind the board, that the band manages to find another creative peak.

[And if Christine refuses to participate, Froom is a fantastic keyboardist for the studio recordings. Not the same magic as Christine, but a talented guy.]
