violet_sky Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm obviously losing my mind, because instead of 'smex', I read 'mfc' Isn't it the same? Btw that happens to me all the time - not the smex thing, but the misreading. My favourite is 'Go to Mikasounds - No blog yet' Oh and... do we have a Chesney Hawkes thread?

Louiza Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It was in the News of the World the weekend before last, in the music gossip section, in a little square in the corner. Basically, it said something along the lines of 'Good news if your a Mika fan, like me. Mika's finally back in the studio, in LA, working on the 2nd album! We can expect it on the shelves in September.' it doesn't sound very official to me. i mean the person who wrote that doesnt seem to be very well informed, it sounds as though they think that mika started recording two weeks ago, while we know that he's been recording in LA since october. if a site like billboard said that the new album is going to be released in september i'd believe it but i cant really trust this paper. i guess we'll have to wait for some more official info about it. and i remember that mika wrote in his blog that 09 will be a busy year, i dont think he would have said that if all the action was going to start in september. i'm sure that we can expect some great things to happen a bit earlier than that.

I still can sustain a three-four day, but later with melancholy I update and update page of MikasoundsGigs - absolutely other-wordly dream... See, Mika, it's in your best interest: more gigs= less comments to approve (or delete ) I too very much hope. Otherwise ...

Mag Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 September sounds like a long time to go. I will need to work on my patience... But then again, I`d rather wait for it a few months longer and have another masterpiece as LICM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Judging by the new blog, looks like it could be a September release after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I too very much hope. Otherwise ... "If the mountain does not come to Mohammed, then Mohammed will go to the mountain" Yes, Christine had to go to the mountain 4 times already because the mountain doesn't spend much time in Canada. and i remember that mika wrote in his blog that 09 will be a busy year, i dont think he would have said that if all the action was going to start in september. i'm sure that we can expect some great things to happen a bit earlier than that. The action is not going to start the day the album is released. Mika was promoting himself, touring, releasing singles and making videos many months before LICM was released. I got my digital copies of Relax and Grace Kelly in 2006 and I was already months behind the times of people who knew of him earlier. Even if Mika finished recording tomorrow they will not rush out and print the CDs and have them in the stores the next day. There is a whole process to launching the album and we haven't even seen the beginning of it yet. I think, as Rose says, this blog where Mika says he will be testing on the streets for the next few months is a good indication that this album will not be stores any time soon.

Sabine64 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I find it very interesting to see how the whole thing with a new album started. I never have been there before, because the most bands I found good had more than one cd released, before I liked them. Of course I am not very patient and want to have the album soon, but I can wait, while watching what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveLove Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I totally agree with you. As the old adage goes: "It takes time to prepare good food". Well, it's probably the same with good, no great, music. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. But honestly, I think it'll be before september (fingers tightly crossed). I was thinking it might be more like April or May. I imagine it's not going to be easy to put out an album that will top or even equal LICM, but I just know that our MIKA can do it. And I've read in other posts that he could lose fans over this. Well like some said, the hardcore fans will NEVER leave. Later, He said that in April 2007, not yesterday. You know people generally don't work day and night 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. They are allowed to go out and take holidays. Mika spent years putting the first album together and he did all kinds of stuff in between writing the first verses and the album hitting the shelves. I am betting a lot more time transpired than most people realize and it's not realistic to expect him to churn out an equally good album in less than 24 months. You need to experience life in order to feed your imagination and your creativity. You can't just lock yourself in a windowless room until a great album comes out.

willywonka Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Mika has it all thought by now... Even the most anxious of us will have some anxiety pills coming along inside the next DVD's booklet, so we can calmly wait for the new September release..cool!

chickadee Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I too very much hope. Otherwise ... "If the mountain does not come to Mohammed, then Mohammed will go to the mountain" I would be thrilled to hear that you'd gone to see a Mika gig and written up a report for us in the gig thread. I have to remind myself sometimes that Australia is not the only place in the world that Mika hasn't toured! And he did at least pop in here very briefly.
