I see that there was an earthquake in Los Angeles today. I did wonder whether Christine was in the studio and whether she would have thought "oh god I wish I'd stayed home"...

I hope she was sleeping because I was in BHills and it was definitely a shocker.

It would be unfortunate if she was put off by that after all our years waiting to get her back.

I'm thinking since it was at 6:25 in the morning, and lasted only 12 seconds, our Macsters were likely asleep. They aren't exactly known to keep 8-5 work hours like the rest of us.

Anyway, like y'all, the first thing I thought when I read about the quake was: "This better not affect the band's recording in any way!"

Lol. I know. Terrible. I should have been hoping people were ok and that it wasn't too bad, but instead I was fretting that it would set Chris' therapy back months and months

It wasn't that bad damage wise. I had some small items knocked over at my place. If you're a heavy sleeper you wouldn't have felt it. Unfortunately, most other people were awakened by it. It was a shaker.

So here's a question: does everyone think the band will be recording on their traditional analog tape this time around, or will they modernize & utilize digital Pro Tools? I know Say You Will was recorded on tape... but I haven't paid attention to what the band members used for their subsequent solo albums. Pro Tools would make the process vastly easier & quicker, but will they eschew it for tradition & familiarity? Or has the industry since gone fully Pro Tools?

Thanks for the heads up!

Now we know the Mac will be recording in LA, and at the Village Recorder. A very appropriate venue, given it's Mac history.

I'm so happy! But the worst is that they aren't playing it up in the press... Give us some new photos of the band... Give us a new interview with Christine plus the others... C'mon already!

Okay, I am THRILLED the band are recording again. And while I am now more confident than ever that an album will emerge, I am not as confident it will come out in four or five months. Still, there are some factors that are in favor of getting the music much more quickly the in the past:

1. This is the first time in decades that Christine is not half-wishing she'd go in retirement. Her eagerness to be on the road and with her "friends" again will do a lot to put a fire under the others.

2. Her presence is bound to have a positive effect on the relations between Lindsey and Stevie.

3. John's cancer bout means these professionals have to work more efficiently than they have in the past.

4. Mick must be foaming at the mouth to get another tour going--and to promote an album of new music that is as anticipated as any of the band's 70s/80s blockbusters.

5. As mentioned, Lindsey already has a substantial amount of unused material. And his own attitude is pro-band thee days, as opposed to "I had to give up so much of my musical painting to be in this band..."

I'm hoping, hoping, hoping, a new album emerges by Fall, say October.

Yes, it's as hotly anticipated by us, but not by anyone else. I'm a little afraid that's something that could cause a delay. Maybe they are already talking to WB, as one of Lindsey's comments indicated awhile back. But if they aren't, they will keep waiting for a record company, while we fans would rather they just get it out independently, ASAP.

To imagine that a Fleetwood Mac album now would be as anticipated as the follow up to Rumours was in the late 1970s is patently absurd.

I just hope the album doesn't sound like the EP. Instead:

Place some mics in front of acoustic guitars and record the warm, natural sound of the instrument. Then, build from there.

I'm guessing the EP was more to test the waters on recording again. Apparently it passed that test. I doubt anyone in the band was thrilled with it. It was more of a public demo than anything.

In regards to its release I'm sure they plan on recording most/all then trying to get someone to bite. The album could be largely finished quickly, but it might be a while before its available.
