Why Doesn't This Thing Have a Title Yet?

[dkubs34]

Forget about what people think the title should be, is it strange that with about two months to go its still unannounced or does that happen often in the music industry?

[Swizz2007]

A little strange, but I'm thinking we'll find out this week.

[blusi]

Next week? -> new homepage? single release? title? We will see...

[killerangel]

Because Stan hasn't picked one yet.

[Dramageek]

Because Stan hasn't picked one yet.

:lol This is clearly the right answer. He's going to write it on the notepad Cavallo showed him.

Looking at the BTCS timeline, the album was released on April 28, 1998. Recording wrapped up in January of '98 but the title was not actually announced until March 3. The tracklist was not released until March 16. So other than the recording being completed, we are still actually sort of in line in terms of announcements.

[Musicology200]

A source of mine has told me that it will be announced in the next month or two.

So if you do the math, we should know the title on Tuesday, the 17th, since this album is due to come out on April 14th.

But seriously, I think we'll have a lot of official info. this week. At least by Friday, we should know a lot more than we do now.

[solsburyhill]

this week has to bring something. it HAS to.

[Ryan R]

this site is desperate haha

[hmich176]

I'm thinking we'll get tour dates and the first single/the album title all at the same time, or within days of each other.

[solsburyhill]

desperate? yes. but i think this is the first time that people have been saying "this is the week!" and i actually believe it.

[Dagwin]

You're probably right. Mgmt likes to do that w/their announcements.

[Dagwin]

It just "feels" like it this time, doesn't it? Haha

[Caveat Emperor]

It probably has a title, they just aren't telling us yet. ;)

My money is on "Spotlight," personally.

[hmich176]

And the album cover will be a picture of a turd in the shape of a music note. :)

[Dramageek]

Yeah, I'd imagine there would be a big announcement with album info and tour dates all in one.

Either way, management told us in an official announcement that the album is coming out on 4/14. Whether it is delayed or coming out on time, they have to tell us something about it in the not too distant future. I say relax. We'll get info when we get it.

[solsburyhill]

i think we get tour dates + one piece of album info (maybe single or album title)

then two weeks i think we get more album stuff

[Pikegulley]

A source of mine has told me that it will be announced in the next month or two.


That is what my source also said. :lol

[hmich176]

That is what my source also said. :lol
Well, I had an insider source tell me that the album release date is April 14! How's that ditty of information? :lol

[Swizz2007]

You guys are easily amused...

[rick8285]

Well, I had an insider source tell me that the album release date is April 14! How's that ditty of information? :lol
we have a new "Stan"

[DerekJTR2]

Sources say DMB is working on a new album.

[solsburyhill]

sources say dave matthews is, contrary to popular belief, bob dylan.

[Dramageek]

sources say dave matthews is, contrary to popular belief, bob dylan.

However, after checking with my sources, he is still not L'il Wayne.

[wildcat2324]

My source told me that the album name will be released sometime before 4/14.

[Turfdoc]

If keeping the things a mystery is a planned attempt at making the excitement and anticipation levels high, then it is working on me. I am in my mid 30's and have never looked forward to any music, movie, concert, game more than this.

[Dagwin]

My source has given indication that there will be drums on the new album.... Oh.... and some songs!

[MPizzle06]

We'll all know that news has arrived when no one can get on Ants. So hopefully this happens this week :D

[Bartender_Pleez]

Possible Titles:

"Rob Cavallo Will Be Hung Out To Dry if You Dont Think This Record Is Good."


alternate title....



"Steve Lillywhite Will Not Be Down For Breakfest On This Record - Deal With It"


:p

[Sniper15]

The titles they are considering are "People and Raptors" and "Rain Delay".

[Billies09]

this week has to bring something. it HAS to.

I hope so!!!!!! (We all hope so!)

It's going to be a big drop of info IMO. They're going to want to promote the summer tour with the new album title and even the single.

[Evans]

You gotta love this band, I don't think any other fanbase has blue balls on so frequent a basis.

[Bartender_Pleez]

hence - the title - Blue Balls!!!

[BruceW]

i cant wait!!!...been patient for so long

[AlexK79]

A source just told me that Dave was on House...

[dvalukis]

The titles they are considering are "People and Raptors" and "Rain Delay".


Rain Delay. We can always hope.

MY BIRTHDAY!!!

I'm sorry... what are the jokes behind these phrases. I'm pretty sure I missed something...

[2StepintoCrash]

I'm pretty sure they have a title in mind, but just haven't released it publicly.

[deshong1485]

:lol:lol:lol

[Kevinbstbll9]

It's either "Rain Delay" or "Machead"

[Dramageek]

I'm sorry... what are the jokes behind these phrases. I'm pretty sure I missed something...

As for "Rain Delay," I believe there was a show at Alpine delayed due to a bad storm. And the live setlist page said "Rain Delay" and everyone around here laughed about how that was a new song.

As for "People and Raptors," (I think) a while back someone, likely tripping on something, started a crazy thread claiming he had the tracklist to the new album. It included such epic titles as "Kite Flying Tournament" and, of course, "People and Raptors." I don't know if the thread still exists, but it was beyond epic.

[tparker]

Yea i pretty much live on this site right now. I keep thinking that the DMB god will release info if i waste all my spare time on here. Maybe it would like more posts??

[Shoesuntied]

I know people have been saying this album is going to be nothing but new music, but I hope People and Raptors makes it one their! I remember hearing it on 2/30/06 and God DAMN was it a nice piece of music!

[GucciLittlePigg]

it has a title, they just didn't tell us yet because it's too soon to start the hype for the album, especially if it doesn't make the april date

Actually recording is not completed. Just today on Twitter, Dave said he was going back to work. WTF does that mean?

stirna

[solsburyhill]

probably means he is going back to work.

Going back to work to complete songs? or going back to work to do mixing? who knows. That's OK.

Oh, I know. I meant that, outside of recording being completed, the current timeline is still sort of on par with the BTCS timeline. However, recording better finish soon.

[vp719]

My guess is we get something to the effect of "...summer tour promoting *insert title here*.." before anything else

[smudge1]

vocals, brah.yup. My sources tell me he is meeting up with the lovely ladies to finish the backup vocal tracks.

[DIDriveOut2SPAC]

yup. My sources tell me he is meeting up with the lovely ladies to finish the backup vocal tracks.

My sources say he is meeting up with Willie Nelson.

i'd think he only has to lay down a few parts, not write new lyrics or anything like that.
