FINALLY!

I'm sorry I haven't had the energy to update this blog since...last school year (*cringes* In fact, almost a year. Good lord), but I really did not listen to much new music for much of 2008. Sad, as I hear there was a lot of good stuff. At some point I'll try to catch up, but it'll probably be in vain...
Anyway, for now I have some very happy news, so I'm gonna share it:

NEIL HANNON IS GOING INTO THE STUDIO TO MAKE A NEW DIVINE COMEDY ALBUM.
Yesterday, the official website was updated, saying little more than that.

We’re delighted to tell you that Neil has begun work on the next Divine Comedy album.

More details when we have them, but we all hope it will be finished in time to come out in the second half of 2009.

I am so very excited about this, particularly as I should be studying art in Scotland this fall. Since Neil seems to have left American fans to their own devices, that may be my only chance of getting to see him live.

That leads me to my final point: American fans, if you want to voice your opinion about TDC coming to America, even for a couple of performances on the East and/or West Coast, I urge you to send and email to info@thedivinecomedy.com and tell them why you think it would be beneficial not only to the fans, but to TDC's profile in the US.
