Alireine Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I just came home, wanted to add the last interesting programs I watched this week to a special list I'm doing, wrote the name Miriam Makeba on it, then turned on my computer and TweetDeck (thanks Christine for the tip ), and saw Mika's tweets about her :wub2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Oh, well-spotted. I did see Greg Wells tweet about going to Paris, I guess that's where he eventually ended up. And yes, that's the same place Mika went before -- Miles Copeland's retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember it So he is doing song writing camps and spending time in studio at the same as he is doing his judging work.

robertina Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 did he need to shut himself away in a castle to be helped in writing songs for LICM? No and please don't forget Origin was kind of a failure album. he seems to have lost something, imho. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No and please don't forget Origin was kind of a failure album. he seems to have lost something, imho. oh well. You really think so? TOOL is my favorite of his all albums. Origin, UW, Stardust (to mention some) are brilliant songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 What I think is even more interesting about this news is that the guy who tweeted these photos identifies himself on Twitter as "Artist manager and concert promoter since 1992-Beirut and all Middle East- Star System . Beirut Holidays 2013 and many others." Interesting because Mika has said that he wanted to do something Middle Eastern/Arabic for a while now, particularly after he appeared on Coke Studio a few months back. Very curious as to what's in the works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think each album has its strong and weak points. Stardust is a better song than Big Girl. The thing I like most about TOOL is that it is moving on a sincere level. I know people cry during Happy Ending and of course Mika's performances are quite literally breathtaking. I just stop everything during the last line hoping to catch an extra special moment. But it does feel like a performance, like a musical, rather than something from the heart. But when he sang Make You Happy at the acoustic gigs I got chills it was so real. And I wasn't even there! I could feel it just from a YouTube video.
