After a very busy month of July which featured 11 concerts (5 with Queen and 6 solo – including the epic Fantasy Springs event pictured above), August begins with a short period of rest for Adam. However, as he tweeted a couple of days ago, we can expect the third single from Trespassing to be announced sometime early this month. Later in the month, Adam will head to Japan and Australia for album promo and a few concerts as well. We are also anxiously waiting to learn if Adam will be a judge or have some other regular role in the upcoming season of American Idol. In the meantime, enjoy the chat!

    Ron, that was Chruch St, right?

    Uh, oh.

    You and I drove to Church Street from my place where you took photos of Woody’s.

    I’m on Yonge Street.

  2. jlurksacto says:

    Aaaa, Oh I see it. Ron, Yonge St. Watch for the wayward turtle.

    AAARGH!!

    What a frustrating day!!

    Lost my internet for a whole day, spent many hours trying to get it back, turns out that it was due to McAfee through At&T. Word of warning, to any McAfee subscribers: It’s infected. You need to uninstall it and re-boot. Call MCafee or At&T with questions. They said that it is a worldwide problem.

    Fixed now, ( at my house ) but, cripes!! What a pain!

    Second problem?

    I couldn’t see the GB picture mentioned a page ago.

    Can somebody please help a fan out?

    And what was the Whole Foods thing about?

  4. milwlovesadam says:

    HKFan, I’m so glad you got your DVD. Thanks to jlurks!

    ( See what happens when you meet him, give him candy and flowers and spend time with him in his penthouse? )

    Any sightings anyone for Tardy ? Turtle

    Ron, I think I saw him in my back yard this morning munching on a stawberry. He’s very popular with our lady turtles!

    A big thanks to Jlurks from me too, for the Kiev DVD.

  6. jlurksacto says:

    Ron, yours really is going via China. HKFan got hers before you. I could
    have hand delivered faster than your postal system. I know, custom peeps are
    watching the DVD. New Queenbert fans.

    jlurks … Thank you soooooooo much! Got mine the other day and have been playing it on my surround sound speakers with the windows and doors wide open thereby treating the rabbits, deer, turtles, birds, bees and any other wild things on my hilltop to Queen and Adam rocking out.

    Hi dflowers!

    Please tell him if he doesn’t get here by Monday that I know how to make Turtle Soup! Teeth

  10. milwlovesadam says:

    Thanks for the pic. I’m so glad that Adam knows what to bring on a trip!

    Ron, look out! Hope it’s not a snapping turtle!

    I’ll tell my brother in China to look out for the DVD!

  11. milwlovesadam says:

    On another whole note, Meatloaf is coming to town on Sunday and playing the Riverside Theater, the same theater that Adam played on GN. I’m not going, it’s the night before my kids leave my nest. But, he had a nice article in today’s paper.

    Man, that would be fun!

    That WWFM on Sunrise was beautiful. Haunting and emotive.

    Does anybody think that the Is This Love video was taken down because of Marley’s people?

  12. luval says:

    The video is still there. Adam tweeted earlier

    Adam Lambert ‏@adamlambert

    this one ain’t blocked: http://youtu.be/6u7vaghG0Lg

    I posted earlier today about Marley’s people and the many years of litigation happening over his estate. So maybe, or perhaps the radio station did it.

  13. jlurksacto says:

    Is This Love video was taken down because of Marley’s people?

    Reported on Atop that the venue said Adam’s peeps asked that it be taken down. Licensing problems? Paperwork not filled out yet for video permit/license?

  14. milwlovesadam says:

    Right, probably Adam’s people were contacted by Marley’s people.

    Does anybody have an MP3 of the HQ version? I’m sorry if I missed it before, but, like I said, I had internet problems.

    And, like Jojosie, I can’t get it out of my head. I just love this. And the new arrangement of WWFM. And Queenbert…

    Love that I just read that in a M&G Adam admitted he goofed by not putting Runnin on the regular CD, and now can’t release it as a single. Well, I’ll correct myself, I’m glad he knows he likely goofed, but not glad that Runnin can’t be released. I just leeeerve that song still.

  15. luval says:

    I don’t understand the reason why Runnin’ can’t be released as a single. What am I missing?

  16. milwlovesadam says:

    Because it’s a Bonus Track.

  17. AL says:

    Does anybody have an MP3 of the HQ version?

    Here are some but I am not sure if they are the HQ version.

  18. luval says:

    I know it’s a bonus track but so what?? I don’t get it. Thinking Confused

  19. milwlovesadam says:

    luval, me either. To me, it was released on a CD that was sold commercially. Maybe somebody knows the answer here…

    GTG. I’ll be back on and off until by nest empties out. Sadz. The boys had several friends over last night ( by several I mean 20+ ) and there were many bittersweet farewells. I can’t get over how they’ve all grown into such wonderful young men, off to college soon all over the country and the world. Gotta admit I had a pretty big lump in my throat several times…

  20. milwlovesadam says:

    AL. Thanks, I’ll have a look at it later.

    cwm, it’s pretty early your time??? Did you ever go to sleep last night?

    Yikes I’ve been caught again!

    Actually, adamized, it was 4:30am and I hadn’t yet gone to bed! Instead of sleep, I spent a lovely night going through a bunch of videos of the Queenbert shows to share with one of my Australian colleagues who is a musician and was very interested in hearing more about Queen + Adam. So I found a bunch of choice youtubes to email him. It was a blast to poke through those awesome performances again, especially to revisit videos from the shows I attended. *happy sigh*

    I didn’t get to bed til after 5:00am though. Ouch! My Adam addiction is not doing my productivity at work any favors.Thinking

  22. glambotgram says:

    I am not sure but wouldn’t single releases be to advance album sales and Runnin is only on the deluxe version. Is it even on the deluxe version in all countries it was released in? I think record co would want all singles to be on reg album version that is standard across the world.

    Just my theory!

  23. luval says:

    Aw…Adam’s dad just tweeted this:

    Miles Tougeaux ‏@milestougeaux

    RIP http://on-msn.com/RJVPqR#scpti50 … @adamlambert Your earliest inspiration.

  24. cwm says:

    I’ve always assumed that a song needs to be on the standard version of an album in order to be released as a single. So that people who buy the standard album get all the singles, and they don’t have to buy the deluxe. Or something like that. Bonus tracks are considered “extras.”

    ETA: Yeah, what glambotgram said!

  25. luval says:

    glambotgram…your explanation sounds good to me! I never bought the non-deluxe album.

    eta: thanks too, cwm. But it stinks!

  26. AL says:

    RIP http://on-msn.com/RJVPqR#scpti50 …@adamlambert Your earliest inspiration.

    And here’s the proof – Adam as Baby Dracula Vampire

  27. luval says:

    Al…can you put those photos side to side? Smile

  28. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Hi everyone! Daughter and I arrived in NYC safely after an incredibly long travel day… Flew non-rev with Southwest Airlines and visited airports in St. Louis AND Chicago along the way, but we made it, lol! Daughter’s all settled and already busy with school stuff. I’m sitting on the red steps in Times Square this very minute, waiting to see Jersey Boys in about 45 minutes! I think both she and I are gonna be okay!Smile

  29. Calgary says:

    Hey guys! I was able to convert to MP3 and download the Take 40 YT recording of Is this Love – no background noise! It’s the link Adam tweeted. Here it is:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u7vaghG0Lg&feature=youtu.be

    Sigh, I have listened to it so much that if it were a tape it would be done!

  30. Calgary says:

    As for Runnin, I don’t see why it can’t be released as a single, since nobody’s buying hard cd’s but a few are buying singles of iTunes and the rest of the world is stealing! Runnin is amaaazing!Maybe we need to bug RCA with tweets?

  31. glambotgram says:

    Texas ohh have a great time. Jersey boys is great.

  32. AL says:

    Al…can you put those photos side to side?

    Sure! Like this? Count+Adam
    or this? Count+AdamToo

  33. luval says:

    Thanks, AL! They are both so cute!

  34. glambotgram says:

    So have we talked about this Guerrilla Gig in Melbourne on Sunday. The lady that tweeted about Runnin also tweeted about knowing what he was doing in Melbourne but could not say.

    Then there is this.

    screencap of Guerilla Gig, for those who don’t do FB. http://pic.twitter.com/KzT3AmAq

    I looked up Guerilla Gig on Wiki

    There are two major elements that characterise a guerrilla gig. The first is similar in concept to a flash mob, and involves a band or artist performing in an unexpected, sometimes unannounced, setting not designed to accommodate live music, such as on a bus or subway train, parking lot, or building lobby. The second characteristic involves their being arranged very quickly and without the typical processes of publicity or advance ticket sales. They are usually announced through various internet message boards as well as by text messages and sometimes last-minute flyers.

  35. TLKC says:

    Arcade Fire famously did a guerilla gig in Downtown NYC about 5 years ago. My only concern about Adam doing one is that most of his band has gone home. They are usually more successful if they are a little louder so that people on surrounding streets can hear that something’s up. But hey, it will be Saturday night and the streets will be busy so Adam will have an automatic audience.

    ETA: when we were young (translation: in the 60’s) they used to start calling everyone on Saturday morning about impromptu clubs – unoccupied warehouses in the city core. Bands and crowd would all show up and party all night or until the police came. Didn’t really need the internet but the internet does make it easier.

  36. TLKC says:

    Oh, I guess Texas is well into the first act of Jersey Boys by now.

  37. luval says:

    So threads on MJ’s say Keith Urban has accepted judging Idol spot & Nicki Minaj probably will.

  38. TLKC says:

    Yes, I’ve been over there for a while. The consensus is that there will be a fourth judge and I think it is looking good for Adam. People are saying Nick Jonas and Adam and maybe Enrique iglesias. IMHO, Enrique will be too expensive.

    Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are two very dominanant ladies and I can’t see Idol giving the soft-spoken, laid back Keith Urban a wing man like Nick Jonas. The chemistry is not quite right, unless you put someone like Adam in there.

    That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

    And now I’m going to bed. Nightey-night. Checking in tomorrow for the Guerilla Gig.

  41. HK fan says:

    But wasn’t it only 2 days ago that Urban said he’s got a new album coming out and that was his priority, and doesn’t he already judge a sininging show in Aus?

  42. HK fan says:

    mmm, just read this on MJ’s

    Apparently this is what was said on TMZ tonight:

    Alright, this is what TMZ said, “Catch TMZ, Breaking American Idol
    News! Someone’s making a huge comeback to Idol, (They flash Paula and Simon, and
    then Dunkleman)… Idol comeback next Tuesday)”

    Hasn’t Adam cancelled some Melbourne promo for monday to come back to LA earlier????

    I know probably just wishful thinking on my part, but it would be nice to see him on my TV every week….

  43. nkd says:

    Katie Purvis ‏@katiemelb
    Channel V’s Guerilla Gigs are always filmed and vids and photos are posted on their website afterwards (not sure how long afterwards).

  44. jlurksacto says:

    “Looks like Adam is done at 5:00PM on Sunday night in Melbourne.
    He could fly back on Monday (14+ hour flight but you arrive in LA on Monday).” per Q3 on Atop – and this tidbit. “Kris is not going to be on Idol. Kris rumor for the day is RCA has dropped him and it will be announced in September. That rumor appears to be true.”

  45. Kradamour says:

    WARNING: this is tasteless and politically incorrect. It is grotesquely anti-Republican.
    But it is hilarious.
    I do not post as an anti-Republican, but only because of the humor: the skewering of hypocrisy is always a good time.
    Still, watch at your own risk:

  48. adamland says:

    Hot damn, not one to jump to conclusions but things sure point to that person making a huge come back to Idol being Adam. Geez, Tuesday get here already!!! Grin

  49. Kradamour says:

    All of a sudden I feel love for TMZ.
    But they are paps!
    I feel so conflicted!
    Confused Pain Confused

    Kradamour, Fox 5 also reported the Idol comeback story on their news…
