I hope this isn't too douchey, but a few days back I wrote a blog post on my site about my personal connection/interpretation of the Pleasure Principle.
Just in case anyone is interested. Linky.

Holy crap, look at the price it's up to now.

Man...

So I take it, you're going to stop bidding?

[Ryan]

I didn't bid, way too much in my opinion.

From Twitter:
Wrote another new song today 'Here In The Black'. Ade is now working on the one I sent him last week 'The Dark In Me'. Progress is good. GN

GARY, WHY ARE ALL OF YOUR LIMITED EDITIONS SOOOO EXPENSIVE!? AND WHY DO YOU RELEASE THEM WHEN I HAVE NO MONEY!?

http://www.townsend-records.co.uk/si...1473&pTypeId=1


EDIT: I was originally going to by Dead Son Rising Deluxe... Then I decided to get the 80-81 (5 LP) set... Then I saw the Machine Music DVD... Now, I am thinking about getting the Big Noise DVD and CD. I know the book/cd set will sell out fast and with currency rates, I don't have enough money to put down on it right now... THIS SUCKS!!

EDIT II: I know he'll release a limited version of Splinter, so I'm thinking about just waiting to see what comes of that album. I don't have much money saved but I know eventually, I'll have one of these limited editions.

Is he miming? Did he mime live? Is the promo vid dubbed over with bits from the CD? All of the above? None? Particularly on "The Fall" on that vid...

As I explained earlier in the thread, he uses backing vocals on tape for some more recent songs with the big shouty choruses, but Numan definitely does *not* mime on stage. His live vocal on these recordings is usually mixed low enough that it blends in with the backing tape to the point where you can't even really hear it. This kind of takes me out of the moment when I'm watching it, but it certainly does sound more powerful.

Think i'll just buy the DVD and rip/DL the audio. The book looks really nice though.

[REPLICA]

I pre-ordered the cd and I'm going pre-order the dvd soon.

[danebraddy]

Is he miming?

I don't think so

Did he mime live?

He uses backing tapes and sings along with them, especially on the 'big' choruses

Is the promo vid dubbed over with bits from the CD?

Again I don't think so, The Fall does sound really good there - but Pure, Dead Sun Rising, I Die: You Die and Everyday I Die in the clip sound different to their studio counterparts.

There is a possibility some parts were retouched after the fact, like AATCHB, but it all sounds pretty fucking cool to me.

numanofficial Sorry, I should have explained, all the new songs are for the Splinter album. We'll set a release date ASAP but not until it's recorded. GN yesterday · reply · retweet · favorite

numanofficial 2 new songs today, no titles yet. 1 is slow & strange so I'll put that to one side, got enough of those, the other is heavy electronic. GN

For those who haven't heard the A Shadow Falls On Me demo:

numanofficial Last night was huge. Buying a house over there in LaLa Land, selling a house here, real grown up stuff. Way too grown up for me actually. GN

numanofficial Good day with Ade Fenton yesterday working on Splinter. Album coming along great. Immigration biz today, studio again tomorrow. V busy. GN yesterday · reply · retweet · favorite

numanofficial A very rare day. I loved a new song when I started this morning & I still loved it this evening. That doesn't happen very often. V happy. GN 2 days ago · reply · retweet · favorite

Gary Numan Official : "Spent today writing lyrics for yesterday's vocal idea only to realise I'd already thought up that melody about 12 years ago. Arse. GN"

One of the dangers of being an active artist for ~ 35 years I guess...

Gary Numan will play 7 shows in December with the new ‘Dead Moon Falling’ Tour. These concerts will feature some brand new songs from the forthcoming ‘Splinter’ album (due for release in 2013), plus new versions of tracks from 2011′s ‘Dead Son Rising’ album, which are currently being worked on by the likes of Alec Empire, The Duke Spirit, Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails), Tim Burgess (The Charlatans) and Gazelle Twin. Officers are once again supporting, as they are releasing a new single with Numan in the run up to the tour. This collaboration, ‘Petals’ is scheduled for a full release in November.

GARY NUMAN
‘DEAD MOON FALLING’ TOUR
Special Guests: Officers

December 2nd: Southampton Guildhall
December 3rd: Manchester Ritz
December 4th: Edinburgh Picturehouse
December 5th: Norwich UEA **rescheduled from September 7th – SEE ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW**
December 6th: Wolverhampton Wulfren Hall
December 7th: London The Forum
December 8th: Nottingham Rock City
** We regret to announce that we have had to reschedule our show at Norwich UEA on September 7th. Due to unforeseen logistical issues, it has been moved to Wednesday December 5th and will now become part of the Dead Moon Falling tour. Tickets for the September 7th show will be valid for the December performance. Alternatively, any fans wishing to obtain a full refund should call the Norwich UEA box office on 01603 508050. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this postponement. **

Exciting news... I'm glad the "Petals" track will be widely released and Splinter seems to be progressing nicely.

numanofficial New vocal worked well so another song done: 'We're The Unforgiven'. Still quite light headed after a mad weekend so good effort methinks. GN

[Ryan]

numanofficial Newspapers. Even with the best intentions it's never quite what you say or the way you say it Then it's retold by others & gets worse. GN

I really want to buy up the Big Noise dvd but something in this article makes me want to try to buy up a new release (slated later this year.) Also... Has anyone received their copies of Big Noise yet?

[WorzelG]

Glad I'm going to the Forum show later this year, that'll be twice in one year - since he's moving to LA I need to get my fix in now

EDIT: Just got my copy of the standard 2 CD version, Big Noise Transmission. I wish I could have purchased the limited book, that would have been great. If any are still available later this year, near the holiday season (I doubt they will be), I'll try to pick one up.

LOL EDIT 2: I didn't mean to quote my previous post... I'll blame it on a head cold that I have.
