Thanks so much for posting! Seriously, we've heard a fair few reviews now and not ONE has been bad or at least a little negative!! *touch wood* everyone is pretty much raving about it. Gosh - totally excited.

 

 

... Yeah, what she said :wink2:

 

It's great to hear positive press for Meeks - so excited for him...and just a little bit excited for myself too :fangurl::woot_jump:

:shocked:

 

I could almost cry reading that review!!!

 

In fact, I will. Pass the hankies please :tears:

 

 

:biggrin2:

 

Thanks for posting Deb.

 

I almost cried too while reading the last paragraph. :shocked: I always sensed that this album will be even better than LICM. I'm still sure of it even though I haven't heard most of the songs. :wub2: (I'm a second album lover in general. ;) )Toy Boy is going to be on it then. I love that song and all the others from Songs For Sorrow, but I hope no more songs than Toy Boy and Blue Eyes from the EP will be on the album. :teehee:

what ? :shocked:

 

I do not see what you wrote:blink:

 

This kind of posts are there to hide what you mean in case you're embarassed (like I was now), :blush-anim-cl: , when you don't want it to be that obvious. If you see those kinds of posts, select it with your mouse and it'll appear, or try to quote it and you'll see it.:wink2:

 

It means student I think , USA term :blink:

 

A second-year undergraduate!:wink2:

 

Yeah, USA college/uni.

First year is Freshman...I don't know where Sophomore ranks though *tries to think of "The Sims 2:University"* I think i's further down the line, though...like nearer graduation maybe?

 

 

ROGER THAT!

 

Thank you!:biggrin2:

It say exclusive Radio 1 on 20th July

 

What about Radio 2 on ken Bruce on 17th? I just booked the day off :blink::teehee:

 

I'm getting confused with these dates as well :blink:

 

We definitely do need some kind of confirmation about that.

 

On the Radio 2 website it distinctly says that Mika will be in the studio with Ken Bruce on Friday morning, and the single will be played then, for the first time, so what is all this 20th July stuff? :boxed:

what does sophomore mean?:mf_rosetinted:

 

It means it's his second album.

 

In school here in the US, college and high school,

you're a freshman your first

year, a sophomore your second, a junior your third, and a senior your

fourth. (My son will be a senior in high school next year -- which means

he'll be a freshman in college the year after that!)

 

It's a commonly used term here to denote someone's second effort at

something -- their sophomore effort. You'll also hear talk about

someone's "freshman" effort -- means it's their first time out.

 

You might also hear them speak of something called the "sophomore

slump", because quite often the second effort doesn't live up to the

high quality of the first effort -- therefore, it's "slumping" or

going downward.

 

We certainly don't think Mika is going to be experiencing THAT! :naughty:

Thank you Deb! :flowers2:

No doubt the album will still have more than its fair share of rubbish reviews, from people who just don't like him, get his music, or know the meaning of the word 'objective', but I suspect the GOOD reviews will be pretty spectacular.

 

I am so glad he took his time with it :biggrin2:

MY OPINION:

 

We will hear the song on Friday on Radio 2.

 

In case there isn't any song on Friday...there certainly will be on the 20th as we were expecting on Radio 1 and mikasounds.:thumb_yello:

Yeah, it really doesn't make sense. Ah well, we'll see.

 

I am so glad he took his time with it :biggrin2:

 

Uhu, me too.

T4P, Deb!

 

Mikaland either looks like a desert or suddenly a hurricane passes by and suddenly all the eagerly awaited info in the world falls on our heads...

 

That's so true! Feast or famine! :naughty:

 

I haven't move this to the front page yet for that reason -- don't

want to detract from the beautiful single cover art... and yet, this

photo does deserve to be on the front page, don't you think? :wub2:

It's so hard being a mod :huglove: having to stare at artwork and photos to make difficult decisions :wink2:

 

It's tough at the top :biggrin2:
