OT but I am looking for a recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo with a really deliciously rich and thick white cream sauce. If anyone has a recipe they wouldn't mind sharing ....could you please PM me? Thanks.

The track listing is so interesting. Way back last summer, I was curious to learn what is involved at this stage of album production so I put on my detective hat and went roaming the Internet to find out.
I am just a fan, I don't know anything. But some of what I learned about deciding on the final tracks for the album and what order they will appear in was pretty interesting. Namely ... that in this day and age of individual downloads, selecting the track order may not seem as important as it used to, but it is critical to getting good reviews by rock critics and fans, not to mention award voters, who will listen to the entire album.
The first track should be a strong upbeat offering that gets to the “hook” quickly and helps push listeners on to the second track. So I'm really thrilled to pieces about Trespassing being the lead off track.
The second song should also be up-tempo and rather similar to the first, to let the listener feel their experience is well underway. This is happening with Cuckoo. These are two great songs.
What is interesting here is that the big hoped-for hit is often in the second or third position. Interestingly FYE had FYE in #2 and WWFM in slot #3. This album has "Shady" as #3 which will be a super-duper song and fan favorite but not a single ... leaving us with a small mystery soon to be solved.
I read that there are many strategies for arranging the rest of the songs, including key (arrange songs from low to high to create a rising feeling); tempo (alternate between fast and slow); mood (slow mellow material works best in the very middle, introducing a second round of upbeat material; a slow tender song may also work for a closing number).
The best albums tell a story, with good material throughout to give the listener a sense of development and then, resolution and satisfaction. Which this album will.
It was fun for me to revisit this, for what it was worth, and so excited about all this.

Tracklist!!!!  What a way to get the day started this morning. Adam tends to make his most important tweets these days in the middle of the night, just right for the EU and Asia markets. Smart move. I have found so many different definitions or uses of Banshee Boys via Google that my head spins and I still don't have clue what it means. ATV riding stunt pulling, police dodging guys in Philly riding though their hood and using that term Banshee Boys? I would not talk about that here if it did not have view counts of half a million on many of their videos and tons of comments, spin-offs etc...so there are sub-cultures that exist and I can tell you absolutely nothing about .... There is funk music referring to that term: soundcloud.com/user6232389/banshee-boysThere are the old Irish definitions linked earlier.... And many more references. What Adam may mean by this, I have not the foggiest idea. This is going to be very exciting, waiting for this new music. For those from UK, who are importing the US CD at huge cost? Why are you not ordering from Amazon Germany or Ireland or some other country where it comes out mid-May and save yourself a bit of those shipping costs? Did you check that out? Just a suggestion. WUT: Why is DrFunkenberry saying that the Deluxe CD will come out two months after the regular one? Where does this come from? Finally, Hurrah! to reading that Michelle Collins will interview Adam after all, I thought she would miss him by a day or so, I think her official last day was yesterday. It looks like this will be a great day! |

EEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Trespassing track list!!!
Congrats to everyone going to see Adam perform live today at the NewNowNext Awards!! So cool that you'll be able to hear him sing "Trespassing" plugged in for the first time with all the bells and whistles. Hope you're practicing so you'll be on point with your stomping and clapping! I'm so excited to know what he's going to wear, how he'll do his hair, who'll be on stage with him, and how many dancers, and whether he'll make any important announcements on the red carpet. Looking forward to seeing Sauli there, too!
Does the confirmation that Adam is singing "Trespassing" rule out singing "Cuckoo," too? Would he not do two fast songs? Or would he be more likely to do BTIKM or NCOE (I know it's technically supposed to be "upbeat" but I just don't hear it that way so it might be considered stylistically different enough to do) as a second song? If this is a trial to test out responses to the songs, can I bribe anyone going to tip the scales with your applause when Adam sings "Trespassing" or "Cuckoo"? (jk, sort of) Plus, I know they'd want the feedback of more than just the folks in the audience, but that would mean waiting until after the show airs to gauge the response. But if they really haven't picked the next single yet then Adam singing "Trespassing" is a great sign to me! I have several reasons for thinking NCOE is not a good choice, beyond my personal feelings about the song, and only one reason has to do with how the song itself sounds, but will wait to worry about those reasons until after I know for sure that the song is still in the running.
Can't wait to watch the stream tonight!!

We've seen "Pop and Lock" on So You Think You Can Dance, here's a "Poppin Battle" between two of the better ones. The Poppin begins about 1:30 Soooo - will we see Adam "poppin" on his tour? ;D |

It seems it applies pretty well to Trespassing except for the area I highlighted in red. |

Q3, how do we know who wrote Naked Love? I've seen a lot of speculation but no definitive source? I know there is a lot of wondering whether Adam has a co-write on that or not. Adam said in an interview that Naked Love was written by the same people who wrote Moves Like Jagger (I think that was Benni Blanco and co.). |
