(Monday, October 13, 2003)

Here's what you need to know: THIS LEFT FEELS RIGHT is coming out in the US/CANADA on NOVEMBER 4. It comes out internationally on NOVEMBER 3. JAPAN's slated release date was OCTOBER 29 though it might run a day or two late. There are 12 tracks. All greatest hits reworked. There will be limited promotional activities on this project - the usual radio phoners, extensive newspaper, magazine and TV interviews... - don't look for it on this project. There will be some big events. News will follow. But this is not like any other album so don't assume things will be the way they were with CRUSH or BOUNCE. Jon will be on the cover of Decembers (US) REDBOOK magazine. But this is really about the music and letting the album be discovered. What's up this week? Tico had a birthday party over the weekend down in Florida. Richie's getting ready to do his American Dreams appearance. Jon might sneak some acting in between naps. MEMPHIS closed in Beverly, MA to great reviews. And the Giants lost. Again. (A word: this isn't brain surgery and we're not curing cancer. We wish we could. This is just rock 'n' roll. It's a powerful thing - but it's not everything. Try to keep life in perspective, folks.)

Yea yea yea, a bunch of shit we already figured out. I still don't like the fact that they took the new songs off of the album. I will always have a grudge on that!

So the record company isn't willing to promote the album. Now they can say it didn't sell because of the lack of promotion and that releasing same songs again and again doesn't have any effect on sales...

It looks like this record is strictly for the fans, and they don't want to include any new songs because there is no promotion.

Then why they realeasing a single? lets face promotion does **** all its the singles that sell a album. If wanted does great so will the album and this no promo thing is a great excuse should it bomb through i think ill do wel as the new wanted kicks ass.
