New Jstin Sullivan solo album announced on Facebook 19/12/20

[huwcamden]

I have never been much into Facebook but recently joined only to see that a Justin Sullivan solo album is expected in early 2021, apparently it's called "surrounded". This is obviously great news if correct but its weird there is no mention on the official NMA board, it seems it's been abandoned to the tumble weed and the cool evening desert sciroccos by all and sundry...

This is good news. Eagerly awaited here.

[karkiss72]

Very good news. I am really looking forward for this.

[Willard]

There has been some discussion of this on other threads on the Board (NBTS anniversary thread, for one), but no official announcement in a stand alone thread,  as you note.   

Either way, I am totally thrilled!  I love NBTS, and I have high hopes for Surrounded. 

[Semmelnknödöln]

Really looking forward to this too! Any hint as to when there will be a release, dear rulers and gods of the noticeboard?

[Tarsier]

Looking forward - good to have certainty that something wonderful is happening this year 

[Valstar]

"Surrounded" is the name of the album, release late March early April !!! Can't wait




SO excited !!!

[Marcin D.]

Just one remark - along with "Surrounded" (March/April) also "Navigating By The Stars" will be reissued. Any ideas? Additional content? Live versions? Can't wait, anyway

I have noticed that NMA stuff often gets announced on FB before it does on here...

More fans on facebook than here?
Doesn't seem to equate but billions on there and us chumps here?

Facebook is the number 1 communication system for everybody now, bands, people, brands ... so we should be happy that NMA is still bringing news here, most bands don’t even bother to update or even make a website.

Every now and then I get a link from a friend for a FB post were I’m mentioned, or in an old photo that get posted. Most of the time, after a day or so, an asshole will come make a comment about me from a story or another that is 25-30 years old ... (I used to organise gigs and parties so lots of people now me in the small Parisian Goth / Punk underground). I’m always amazed that those people just live in the past, as if their life stopped after a few years in the « underground » and how they keep talking about insignificant old events, as if there was nothing new and exiting in their life for more than 20 years... That’s Facebook to me, people trying to think they have a interesting life because they HAD a good time for a year or too in their 20s ...

I hate so much FB

Tried FB a few times, each time I wind up deleting my account and still am not on it.
Not particularly interested in catching with the lot I knew in my teens and 20s
Their lives and mine have separated so long ago
Don't want to relive those memories, today and tomorrow is more where I'd rather be

Same here, buddy!  Yes, I occasionally think about old friends from the past and wonder 'what are they up to...' and they I remember the few attempts I made to reconnect with folks like that after so many years, instances that ended up in awkward drinks or dinner with little to say after the first 20 minutes because years of no contact have turned us into very different people... I wish those folks well and look back fondly on happy memories but, nope, I'll stick with the present, thanks...

I am active on FB but I've got about 20 friends on there and not interested in getting any more, they're all people I have a strong link with (for one reason or another) and would meet up with on a regular basis if we weren't separated by geography.

Still, it would be nice if new info about NMA related stuff was announced HERE other than on FB...

Really interesting interview:

And some snippets about the new Justin's album. "It's quite like "NBTS" but it's a little bit more eclectic. There's no drums, the bass is the up right bass," "One of the songs is about St Paulo."

I think he said that like NBTS there's no drums and an upright bass, not opposed to NBTS (in case above was not clear )
