Wow, animated, these two pieces you just posted are extraordinarily powerful! They simply exude feeling to this side of the screen and for me the titles describe the piece very well. There is a great value added by your artistic manipulation, thank you for sharing! Thank you.. the real power there is Adam... young as he may be..and his works just not yet monumental compared to the likes of say, the Beatles... but somehow I feel .. there is something exceptional there .... |

NoAngel: I love your thought provoking essays. I agree that Adam's "compromises" are the choices he's making to reach his goals. He didn't change the pronoun in Fever to make it more radio friendly, but I think he will take the "fuck" out of Cuckoo like he did for the latest vid. To me it is a choice of importance. I think that would not be a choice. In order for it to be played on American radio, the change must be made. Fever's language would not have to be censored, just a lot of people would object. |

Gorgeous art Animated! Im curious why you call the picture "Separatedness"? Normally you'd think of separateness or being distinct , for me Adam is not only distinct but he is apart from everyone else... he is in a place where as an artist it will be his and his alone ... sorry... stuff in my mind... I am not eloquent enough to get it out... i really like what you say here. His distinctness (and distinction) do separate him. His eyes beckon in that picture, across that distance. |

I expected the BTIKM viewcount to be much higher by now, not saying that this 4,6 million isn't great. But maybe this radio promo round has some effects on this. |

I think in a perfect world, if everything had been ready etc..., NCOE should have been the lead single instead of BTIKM. ( hindsight at it's finest  ) Then follow with Cuckoo/Trespassing and things would have really exploded. By the time these three were done then Naked Love could be played no problem. I still think that can happen if the next song takes off but I'm not sure about NCOE now. It's too similar to my ears to BTIKM and WWFM, just faster. I mean it's not mid-tempo but it's in the same vein as those two songs and maybe going with something that has a lot more punch and attitude is the thing to do. I can see why this is a very hard decision. And this is no diss to BTIKM because at the time I thought it was a really good choice. But as it turn out, every one of these new songs is 10x better  . PS: informal poll of 14 yo daughter - liked them all (which surprised me.) I need to have her listen to them again to pick a favorite. I got a similar reaction to NL as your daughter rama. She didn't say anything about radio but both eyebrows went up and she said "oh really, Adam...ooookay" |
