2008-12-17: News / Releases > Rumors are swirling about an imminent announcement regarding the upcoming album, single, and tour.  It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that is or isn't almost partially incorrect.  On the contrary, I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty do we have any solid information.
