I do miss the time when I had to stand in a queue at front of a ticket shop all night to buying a ticket for a gig.
Compact disc? Internet? I'm one of those analog generation.
Of course time change, things change and people change, but my passion for music never change.
Nobody tells others how to listen to music nor how to and in which format you have to purchase music, but in this modern society we're living in, everything must have done in a minute.
Fast, quick, grab as much as you can! Hallelujah, take it easy.
Still 9 nights to sleep until when I hold my copy of Who Built The Moon and to listen to the entire album for the very first time!

I’m not just talking new album leaks. It goes for all albums. You can find literally every album in two seconds. Same as signing into Spotify and searching for a song. Maybe the new generation is just too lazy to do anything or even own/store music. Who knows. Well the As You Were leak showed it's not that easy. Many people on here even were lost on how to find it / download it. Dont underestimate the googling skill, it's a skill. People don't know how to use google. I dont know if the younger generation is lazy, but piracy requires time and dedication, and the proper equipement. As i said, mobile usage is now the common usage of the internet, Google is moving its results index to mobile first. So piracy is for nerds (like us) and the older generation who still use a laptop for everything. We 30s something people have grown with it, the 15 / 20 year old have not. It's not part of their culture. There is also, as you said, the owning part of music. Music is now another post, another youtube or spotify link. It's not as valued as much as it used to. The money has clearly shifted to live performance, the rise in ticket prices is a sign of that. Therefore i suppose there's less envy to try and find music as soon as possible. When something is fed to you, with bother looking for it ? Thats an excellent point about the laptop vs mobile aspect. I didn't really consider that much. You are right. For an album leak you need a laptop for the initial download and then transfer to the phone or whatever. Withs Spotify you just plug and play. |

When was It's a Beautiful World taken down from youtube? Like the real song or Jools Holland? Maybe they took down Jools to prep potentially for the Beautiful World launch? |

Given how many people (mostly reviewers) say that Beautiful World is a great song, not releasing it as a single a couple weeks ago really seems like a lost opportunity for Noel's management to build excitement among the broader fanbase.

Well he still has a week to play with before the album drops. If its as good as he and reviewers say, it could make a nice splash in the charts. And by splash for a 50 year old rocker I'm talking like mid 30s. We shall see if Friday brings us any luck. Singles don't really do shit once the album is out on all formats. I think Noel should lead with his best foot forward. |

It should have been the first single. If they test previewed that to anyone before hand, just like heard from that youtube preview and based on the reception here on the forum, they would have seen that of all the tunes heard it was the most promising. |

People have a short attention span and a short memory. The best is to release the best song as single few days before or at the same time as the album.

When was It's a Beautiful World taken down from youtube? it wasn't on the official youtube channel, it was uploaded by a fan, so it was probably BBC claiming rights |

Piracy culture is clearly on the decline. the Younger generation cant be bothered, numbers are showing piracy is declining. It's a 30/40 something phenomenon, so it still exists. But with Netflix, Spotify that lowered culture costs, and mobile use of the internet, leaks are not that damaging anymore. + most of the records leak H-24 before release, so people that are very interested have already pre ordered it. I think Andy just called you old Lennon2217 ;-P X |

Cannot wait to hear this album. Every track sounds so interesting! To sum up what we know:
Fork Knox - Absolutely epic trip-hop and electronica.
Holy Mountain - Fun party tune with brass and whistles.
Keep on Reaching - Lots of brass, uplifting, Noel sings like Marvin Gaye.
Beautiful World - Mix of guitars and electronics, sarcastic song, nice chorus and French interlude.
She Taught Me How to Fly - Wrote for Blondie, very uplifting and upbeat.
Be Careful What You Wish For - A sleek groove that may or may not rip off The Beatles.
Black & White Sunshine - Sounds like The Rolling Stones, good riff and Noel like the lyrics.
Wednesday Part One - ??
If Love is the Law - Perhaps another party tune, with Marr on Harmonica.
The Man Who Built the Moon - Bond-like and epic.
End Credits (Wednesday Part Two) - ??
HYPED.

Yeah hyped, although i feel like it's gonna be one track short of being the perfect length. Just a feeling. We'll see. (maybe the reason for Dead on the Water being thrown on there like a dead body in water ?) |

Was that actually confirmed? Or just assumed cos it sounds like them? Agree though, I'm hype as a hypochondriac. X |

I posted the article where Blondie said they'd asked Noel to write a song for them. I've not seen it confirmed that he even did write one though, nor that it was STMHTF... X |

I’m ready for this record already!!! So far I only like Fort Knox... actually have grown to love it. The others that have been out, I’m sad to say, I still can’t get into them.
Just want the record out so I can find more songs I love hopefully.

Thanks. Right, so he didn't write STMHTF for Blondie. He's just saying it sounds like them. X |
