June 30, 200817 yr I have to agree with what Meg says, my paper bill is so much less now. Fed up with the media and the critics so dont buy the papers much or read the critics.I notice after the scots fashion icon article yet again we have comments reverting back to popstars seven years ago,, the herald and the record dont change..
July 1, 200817 yr Even reporters have to earn their keep, so they try to say what they think is expected of them. Nobrains !
July 1, 200817 yr IMHO Rupert Murdoch, Robert Maxwell, Bernard Ingham, Peter Mandelson, Alistair Campbell, Max Clifford and their ilk all used that propensity to further their own causes and people and try to queer the pitch of their favourites' competition.
July 1, 200817 yr I saw a bus with GWTW on it today. I'd have done what the ad said and booked if it were still there.
July 1, 200817 yr I came to London twice to see GWTW, and neither time did I see the bus advert or a poster, apart from the theatre.
July 1, 200817 yr I must just attract certain buses. Sometimes when I travelled down for Chicago I'd see so many I felt Darius was following me. he was haunting me - not an unpleasant feeling! Same with GWTW. When my sister and I met up in London and we were on the way to our hotel, one of the first buses I saw was a GWTW one. When we came back from our holiday I saw 2 of them at Euston while we were having lunch in a little cafe. When I arrived on the 11th, I went to get a day runabout ticket on the tube, at Victoria station and there was the massive wall poster. Amazing! Jill and Darius looked wonderful in their costumes. Then I stepped out onto the street where one of the GWTW buses had just come to a halt at the stop.
July 2, 200817 yr I saw the bus several times whilst in london. However the question of his pr generally remains a talking point.
July 2, 200817 yr I don't think they intended to spend money on publicity and it was a reaction to the critics' harsh reviews. I still don't understand why they had put together such a stellar cast and there wasn't one large poster or anything at the theatre featuring them. I also don't understand why there was no attempt to make the songs more familiar. They should have had clips of the songs on the website. It closed with the Sounds section still reading "Coming soon"
July 2, 200817 yr Well, if the album wasn't recorded and Darius says it definately wasn't the sounds will never come.
July 2, 200817 yr Chico and michelle mcmanus are featured on the release date list as coming soon, no mention of D. Surely there will be a change of release in that it will be put back again now as wY is releasing end of september and 19 seem to concentrate on one lot of promotion at a time.
July 2, 200817 yr I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be ready for September/October, even if Darius finished recording the tracks this month. There are all sorts of things to do before the master recording becomes the finished physical album. Are Chico and Michelle releasing albums or just singles?
July 2, 200817 yr Originally, I think Will was due for spring - these things do change. His probably did before Darius had stopped doing GWTW so I don't think Darius has been sacrificed for Will. I do think we're back to waiting. Anway, Darius is always going to release in September and has never managed that month yet.
July 2, 200817 yr I think as soon as Darius agreed to do GWTW, September release was impossible, no matter how far his album had progressed. I know he said he would try to work on it here but the workload the whole cast carried on GWTW just didn't give him any time. However, I think Preston is right that 19 tend to move dates etc. around so the spotlight falls on one of their artists at a time but it never quite seems to be Darius's time.
July 2, 200817 yr I imagine they might think GWTW was Ds turn for now so hope we dont have to wait for his turn to come around again.
