Another month goes by, and we have another newsletter with even Blair admitting there’s not much to share at the moment:
Well… I haven’t heard a peep pertaining to studio updates so make of that what you want.  I know that it’s pretty typical in the ‘Tool world’ to be kept in the dark when projects such as recording sessions are ongoing, so what can I say?  I’ve tried to get something… anything. I even checked out Hellboy’s fourtheye website to see if he managed to get wind of anything via the Net, but evidently he hasn’t.  Keep checking, though (www.fourtheye.net).  With that mind, I guess I’ll go have a couple of beers while playing video poker.  Should Danny decide to pay me a visit (which he threatened to do a few weeks ago during my visit to Los Angeles), I’ll see if there’s anything that he can say on the record…about the record?
Maybe Danny should pay me a visit as well?
Being an optimist, I think that no news is good news. The band are busy doing their thing, and it seems at the moment that Danny & Justin have done their parts, and Adam is working on his. I suspect he shouldn’t be too far off done. The A Perfect Circle tour is done for now, and Maynard back in Arizona, getting ready to kick off the harvest. I don’t know how/when he’s planning to record, but interviews around the time of Eat The Elephant‘s release suggest he records from home these days. I expect once the instrumental work is done, Evil Joe will fly over and kick off the process.
