on top of that,these songs in question,arent 20minute epics,there 5 minuters...they want to get people totally used to these tunes before rr comes out...and,with that being said,real radio is gonna blow these cats up!

i\'ve been in a lot of bands, and when a record is about to come out, if your fanbase is already very familiar with a lot of the songs, they are gonna be more stoked to get the record than if they had no idea what to expect.  and yeah, those new songs, where they are numerous, they aren\'t long.  granted, i\'m a newbie, only 2 shows thus far, but i have been listening to recordings of this band for a while, and i didnt leave either of the shows thinking about the overwhelming amount of new material that was played.  i think they do a very good job of balancing the loyalty to oldschool fans with the tactics that are going to expand their audience.  thats NOT an easy thing to do.

Anybody know how big of a release this will be and where the new album will be available? Mail order, merchandise table, New England record shops?

Anything less than National Distribution is ridiculous imo. If I can walk into a Tower Records and p/u Anchor Drops by UM( which I have not), I better damn well be able to p/u Real Radio when it comes out. I mean the new management will be fairly useless imo if this record is not distributed nationally.

Kote had some of TB\'s best/most enjoyable chord changes in it.  What annoys you about it?

it never really fit well in a setlist..maybe it was that vocal intro to it...one of thoes songs where if you know who the \'Kote\' is then the song makes more sense

I really want to hear Gypsy Girl on Thursday at Cafe Nine.  I have been listening to Gypsy girl from a few 2001 shows and really miss it.  No shows between Sunday and Thurs. should give them enough time to practice.  Now who is going to make this happen?  Time to wield your influence Freddie.

PLEASE stop requesting Gypsy Girl!  They might actually play it.... yuk.
