The New Muse Album
So the rumour mill has September pegged as the release date for Muse’s new album. I’m in the pre-excitement stage of half worrying / half preparing. Everytime Muse release something new, Matt spins wild stories to the press hinting at electronica, ABBA, folk, classical and electro-punk-neo-goth-metal influences. It always turns out to be classic Muse. There’s a definite progression in their music, but it’s still built on that solid Musey foundation we’ve all learned to love. But it doesn’t stop me worrying. What if they fuck it up this time?
And then there’s the Muselive side of things. The traffic to the site will increase exponentially as the album launch date draws closer. We’ve already seen a 30% increase in traffic over the last month - and there’s still 6 months to go till D-Day. We’ll be upgrading the server over Easter to prepare for the extra demand, yet more money down the drain. Then there’s the mandatory 18 months of touring - we’ll have to maintain and update the site on an almost hourly basis. I’m going to be working full time in The City, so this is going to prove tricky, but I’ll find a way :-).
On a lighter note, our April Fools plans are gearing up nicely
