    Seems a long way, I wish the album was released closer to the manc dates. I think it would make more sense maybe? Wonder why there's such a gap?

    I think I am right in saying in the music industry summer is not a good time to release an album, and sales are generally thought to be more positive in September. I mean this might not be the case now, but I believe it is the case, as I was recently doing a bit of research on the subject, so I think it is entirely down to maximising the commercial impact really folklore ;)

    Remember when hearing Melancholy live kinda skewed expectation for it? Yeah, i dunno what the schedule is all about but it's a little messed up.

    You'd hope they'd at least toss one of the films up after the MIF show, announce a single, that kinda thing. I just doubt they're going to, i don't see that happening until August.

    And now we at July.

    While there's still over 2 months left to wait, I just saw on my twitter feed that an album has leaked that isn't meant to be released until September 17th.
    Now while that's not me saying I hope it leaks months in advance, I'm just saying... Anything can happen.

    Here's what's strange to me.  Goldfrapp is going to play all of their un-released tunes almost two months before they release the CD.  Am I missing something?  Won't this assure that it will get leaked?  Is that normal?  Is it just a way to get the public revved up for the relase?  As has been stated in some thread, there are a lot of releases in September, are they trying to get an edge?.

    I don't attend shows often these days, but I remember bands always playing new material--sometimes before it was even recorded.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

     I think the answer lies in context (to me anyway) , the new material will be played to true fans in the confines of a venue that will be leaking history and visual tactileness (if that exists) , if you are playing a new album and want to share it with your fans and receive feedback from the fans but don`t want a standing audience deciding its time for a chat-a-thon - it is a perfect environment . Its the best place , at the best time with the best people (and me) .
    Alison has said before and at Bristol , she gets nervous , if you were playing a new album outside of that environment and it died on its arse , personally it would make me never want to sing again . The time difference I suspect is because its being filmed , they`ll need time to post produce it etc etc and the 6-7 weeks should be enough (?) to release some of it (all of it) to align with the album release .
     The live versions of the tracks might well possibly leak , but thats not the same as the album itself of course . 

    The link below is to an article about "cutlery influencing how we taste food" , without labouring the point , I personally think thats a parallel to how we like music differently at different times at different places ....with spoons :D ...and how much I am looking forward to Manchester and why I decided to change my mind .
