...I have to stop myself so that my emotions don't get the best of me, but it was Simon who said already years ago "We don't need a new album." and no one contradicted him - not even Robert. Man... are we really that st*p*d? No.

Yeah well, who knows, I don't wanna wait that long for this album...

No, that's not how I understood his comment. He basically says these things take time and unless they're completely happy with how it turns out, it won't be released yet. (More mixing, more tweaking?)

In ten to fifteen years, some dream islands no longer exist ... I was informed.

Last week I watched "Dream Scenario", a small film with Nicolas Cage, which wasn't bad at all.

Next I want to see "Civil War" by Alex Garland (all the movies I saw directed by him, were good). Let's just hope this scenario won't be too real all too soon!

Found this book by coincidence in a store I hadn't been to before (it was filled with books almost to the ceiling, piles of books on the floor and the book shelves full):

It was written by David Gilmour's wife (he wrote a song for the audiobook).

Guess I'll read this when summer comes closer.

Wonder how that did happen after all the "it will be released later this year" almost every year since 2019 or so! 
(Robert said it will be out before the 2022 touring starts, now we have 2024!)

But I myself never had a doubt there had been recordings (and maybe after the songs being played live, there were some re-recordings too?), also it is known that Robert can be quite a perfectionist when it comes to mixing and stuff... All we can do is wait and see. 

Quote from: dsanchez on April 14, 2024, 11:06:22Fair enough, but probably they could have banned this person (which I think they did) and leave the congress continue.

No, I'll try & translate the sentence for you, the Inner Senator of Berlin had said:
"there are clear conditions the congress has to comply with, otherwise it will be ended".

They had a banned person make a video speech - hence the consequences.
