If thats the cover, I love it!

I recall Adam saying in an interview that because "Bolts of melody" (the song) was on spent Bullets, that he might put a track called "Spent Bullets" on the next album... ;-)
The question is, will a song called "I Could Sleep For A Thousand Years" be on the *next* album?!
Having heard 3 of these when he last played L.A., all I can say is, roll on June for the album and tour!

Keep updating us Brad!

One day we are going to have to compile all of Adam's connections between songs albums and lyrics. There are so many it is kind of hard to keep track of without help.

Great cover. I wonder if "I Want You Right Now" is an MC5 song, or if Adam is just borrowing song titles like he has in the past.

Agreed...very cool, yet simple cover. Is it me or does it have a 70's vibe to it? Reminds me of the opening credits of Barney Miller or the Jefferson's......or maybe I'm just Spent : )

perhaps he could do a cover of 'venus in furs' on the next album as it includes the line 'i could sleep for a thousand years'.

(i love the cover as well btw)

We only got one new song in Kansas City on his last stop - but, the new song was freaking AMAZING! (not sure which track it was though)
I can't wait for the new disk!

I'm just going to do what I did with Spent Bullets, take the hit and order from Second Motion, I want the vinyl ayway and they've assured me that there will be an mp3 download with it. It might cost me £20, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. It should be up there to order in the next few days.

I spend my life waiting for the future - and living in the past....

Will it be available on emusic.com? I don't want some questionable amazon download, would rather get the hardcopy on import anyway.

the link from the main page takes you to the 'bundle' which includes the vinyl album. if you don't want the vinyl then click on the artist name and select a different option. i believe you can order the cd/digital only here:

I'd love to be listening, and laying back and thinking of england...but it sucks being in the UK...my copy has not arrived yet! The amazon preview will have to do for now....sure it'll be worth the wait.

Deluxe version just landed on my desk via Second Motion. Just gotta make it through a few more hours here at the J.O.B. and then i can listen to it properly on my turntable.

Oh and hello BTW. Long time lurker, first post.
