New cryptic message

[Eccentricman]

Yes, they will play new material, please someone quote me! It would be exposure murder for them to not play at least the first single on these big tour dates.

Here is your quote. But I don't necessarily agree with you...

...after not having played a show in basically 18 months, fans will go crazy for any QOTSA songs they get to see live, whether those are from 1998 or 2013.

[Eccentricman]

Yeah, thanks.

The last tour offered no new songs, they literally took a few years off and just came out and played old stuff.

This time, do you guys really think they would hit the stage again after a year and a half without offering at least one new track??

(Go back to before Deaf came out and there are youtube vids of them playing Go With the Flow live)

[Restless12]

Yah they played a couple of songs off Deaf live before it was released

[Eccentricman]

Thank you Restless. My point.

[caoimheuberalles]

It's always good PR to give teasers of new songs so it'd be likely that they would throw a few in, but it depends on them and their manager really. They don't have to.

[JohnRegular]

I think they will, but it'll be minimal.

[_rickshaw]

I think they will, but it'll be minimal.

[OOS]

They'll probably debut a couple new songs, nothing more really. Probably nothing with guest vocalists, and probably not more than 3 tracks overall. Most bands do play new album stuff during pre-release shows, but I've never seen it done very extensively before the album is announced.

[MonsterInYurParasol]

Well if they're going to release it after playing a few shows, I'd still like to have an album name with cover art announced before any of that. This announcement is what we've been waiting for ever since they shut down the site 2 months ago.

[OOS]

Yeah, I find that really weird. I'm wondering if they had to go back and do some unexpected recording which set them back again. Between the first cryptic message and the site going down I was expecting something in the very near future, seemed like they were gearing up for some real information but it never happened.

This just sounds like what's been going on the past 4 years now.

[OOS]

But we were so close to actual information . This must be what its like to be a My Bloody Valentine fan.

[hollowXcadaver]

The fact that we got a second magazine message makes me think we're going to get a string of them, like 4 or 5. To solve the puzzle.

[OOS]

Is there a puzzle? I just thought that they were weird for no reason.

[hollowXcadaver]

Maybe there's no puzzle, but the repetition of the number 9, the theme of time, dreams, etc, makes me think there is. Also when Monster realized that 'Stitch in Time' is from the desert sessions track Holey Dime (which is track 9) that just seems like there's more to be solved for me.

[hollowXcadaver]

ALSO GUYS.

If we take the first letter... and look at the top part in big letters, it reads
A Stitch In Time Will Save You 9, But...

note the "..." is only at the end.

Then in the second letter
...If You Find...

with "..." at the beginning AND the end. For me this implies that the second is meant to run off the first, as a continuation. and the "..." at the end means there's more of the message to come, obviously.

So far we have

A STITCH IN TIME WILL SAVE YOU 9, BUT IF YOU FIND...

Postulate people.

[MonsterInYurParasol]

It could all very well be a huge thing to just keep us occupied. We have to remember the whole "the best trick is no trick at all" thing. We could be taking it all too seriously when there's actually no trick, no riddle, no greater meaning. (They're just fucking with us.)

Could be, but worth a shot anyway, I think!

[MonsterInYurParasol]

Well hey, fuck it. If they want us stumbling around trying to crack some kind of riddle, I'll probably give it a shot. Nothing better to do anyway.
