* ....I turned off Leo's video a quarter of the way through because I was bored. I turned off Sauli's Tutka a quarter of the way through because I was bored..... my enthusiasm is waning. :( ya... but I bet you would watch ANYTHING new with Adam in it many many times and all the way through ;D wouldn't you? As keyboard mentioned - an album is a big project. Most big projects' completion dates move around for a variety of possible reasons - and the real reasons are usually kept private. I can't help but notice that the fandom on one hand DEMANDS information and dates, but on the other hand gets upset/angry if those dates change. No wonder there is a reluctance to provide the dates - who would want to deal with the "explaining"? Isn't it easier to NOT say anything? - a catch 22... We will have a single soon, we will have promo rounds soon, we will preorder soon, download soon, call radio stations soon. We have something to be looking forward to for a little longer - anticipation of a great event is great in itself! |

One last comment from me  I think that it's a rarity for products to manage to stick to their original timeline, delays seem more often the rule rather than the exception. When people build a new home they are told to add time off the get go to the timeline for unforseen delays. I live in Washington state and Boeing's had 3 years of delays in getting their new plane out. |

It's no wonder he tries not to give info.... He'll just get more guarded.We do realize the kid got off a grueling tour 9 months ago & that he has been unfairly criticized for not writing his own songs. I think 9 months to a new single is pretty freaking good. Especially because of what is riding on it (for him, not us).

mszue...I hear ya and am having the same thoughts.
nonotme...what a lovely gesture! I've already ordered the peace pendant because I wanted to support Adam and The Trevor Project. But, to be honest, I think the necklace isn't selling because it's not tied to Adam as much as the Infinity symbol or the Eye of Horus. I think we all expected something related to the key tattoo....I dunno.... Only a few days left and at this rate is doesn't look like it will match the donation of either of the previous pendants, and that makes me sad. :( (Maybe people have been waiting for the last week and there will be an upsurge. *crosses fingers*) ...at any rate - kudos to you!

I guess I better get my pendant. The closing date came on faster than I realized. Thanks for the push ATOP.

Shall we wear the 'cone of shame'???  All I know, is I have no desire to feel 'squicky', so I'll find the beat I dance best to. Gotta song in mind? ;D Or you could just "Turn it Off, like a light bulb..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8uAYcLYEFI  Thanks, Tigerlily!  Got my day off to a good chuckling start..but I'll be humming that sucker all day..is that what is known as a 'hook' in music?? lol |

*type, delete, type, delete* ...ah screw it Maybe you guys will let me rejoin the "good fan" club when the next single comes out and I can demonstrate suitable enthusiasm. Shall we wear the 'cone of shame'??? All I know, is I have no desire to feel 'squicky', so I'll find the beat I dance best to. Gotta song in mind? ;D Awww, Vivlite, you are loved here and not alone! (in the Aftermath...) Your post last night made me sad and I'm so glad you are still here. To everyone else, I respectfully suggest that people please be allowed to share their feelings w/out judgment or chiding. This is supposed to be a safe place as long as there are no personal attacks yes? If it's a feeling that aggravates your own balance (too sad, too chipper), quickly scroll. I say this gently but saying that one is 'not judging feelings BUT...' is often a lead-int o explaining why sad/frustrated/angry people are illogical (or not committed enough or too committed). Feelings need to be felt to be processed and it would be nice if this remains a place where friends can also share those w/out being judged. Who else do people have to talk about Adam fandom with? And it does take time. Many of us who make no claim to understanding music biz have been told forever by people who profess to know the industry that missing the holiday season and getting pushed back were BAD things for an album and for Adam. So, for me, it understandable fans would be upset FOR ADAM in the absence of clarifying information. IMO, the upset folks are more concerned for Adam and what the hell's going on than their own need for more music. People ARE working this out but why not give them a little time (at least a FEW DAYS) and a little space to share. I feel sad to see people shamed into lurking for being 'negative nellies'. Understand if you want to be among people feeling more positive but perhaps one could do it w/out chiding or stalking away. Atop has provided a stable, safe and loving place for a lot of diverse souls - can't we just be kind and patient with each other (even if we don't always fully get each other) during this bumpy time? I know tl:dr and I'm in trouble for being late to work so those offended by me can be assured punishments will be in the offing . |

I know people were hoping for the key, and love stuff more tied to Adam. But the peace sign is obviously very important to Adam's heart, and so the pendant is really a representation of something very meaningful, very tied to him. Any of you on twitter - or through any other means- that wish to help spread the word on this will have mucho, mucho gratitude flowing from me to you! peace&love |
