(part 2) Being at the writing phase is always a minefield of lightbulb moments but lately, and for the first time, I know what makes us special... It's the dark melancholy that lurks between the notes... The feeling of being slain by the unexp ected turn of a melody... The total abandon of singing the world's biggest chorus and occasionally having the cheek to try it on with a kazoo... I love Embrace! I love everything that we stand for and I love that we have fans and friends and an amazing team who are right there with us... Things are already sounding inspired... Like we've got the future on a leash! So with our quality control set literally to 'STUN'... we set off again down the rabbit hole! Rx

Hi, just thought you might like to read this message received 12/8/11 from Embrace HQ, (it's from Richard from the band) Hello everyone, After a much needed and extended leave of absence, we finally feel like we have enough big tunes to get back in the studio... Feels like I've personally been ramping up to this point for about three years! We've gone from barely seeing or speaking to each other, dodging rumours about a band split, to living out of each others pockets and I just know somewhere in my bones that they've got my back both musically and spiritually... (Part 2 to follow)

I'm relieved to know I've heard of most of the things you just mentioned lol. I shall bear that in mind :)

Ah cool :) Funny? Maths? I wish :P

Yes I am British :P English in fact. I'm going to uni next year, I might study either chemistry or maths. Are you going to be a doctor or something then? :)

Nice to meet you too :D You have awesome taste :3 I'm still at school too, what year are you in? I'm in the upper sixth :)

Hola otra vez, Rodrigo! Ojalá regresen a tocar en vivo... los he visto en el website algunos días, trabajando en el estudio. Veo que Celebrate es tu favorita! GRAN tema, unos de mis favoritos del This New Day, aunque debo decir que mi máximo favorito es la versión single de "I wouldn't wanna happen to you", y luego "Anywhere you go" y Like a Believer :D Nos leemos por acá, e igualmente me alegra saber de más seguidores en el continente!

Hola, Rod! Veo que eres un fanático de Embrace, y ciertamente también yo lo soy! Te agregué por eso, soy fanático de Embrace todo, absolutamente todo... álbumes, singles, lados b, bootlegs, etc! Saludos desde Chile, nos leemos!

Já, ya me parecía que era exageración de la prensa. Se dice que todo está cerrado, que nadie transita por las calles, y mil estupideces más.

Bueno, MediaFire es como RapidShare sólo que con menos restricciones; puedes pausar las descargas, usar aceleradores como FlashGet, etc. Y bueno, te podría recomendar Radiohead, Thom Yorke, múm, Riceboy Sleeps, proyecto de Jónsi y su novio. Se puede descargar una versión no terminada acá: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1911352/1550444/ Y por suerte no, no hemos tenido ningún problema acá. Es tan terrible la situación en México como se ve en las noticias?

Pero es mejor descargarlos de MediaFire que de un torrent con 2 seeders, no?

Pero viste los links para descargar el proyecto de Jónsi? Jejeje sí, el país de la influenza XD

Mira el blog de saeglopur, http://lostmonster.blogspot.com/search?q=frakkur ;)

Seguiré tus recomendaciones entonces :) Yo sí he escuchado varias canciones de Embrace y me han gustado mucho... de Feeder sí nunca he escuchado canciones pero en estos días me pongo en esas.... qué canciones de ellos me recomendarías?

Sorry that I have once again forgotten to get back to you for such a long time, but I'm sending you an email now regarding a possible exchange.

Gracias! sí.. yo diría que Bigger Stronger y Brothers and Sisters son unas de las canciones más subestimadas de Coldplay... me parecen hermosas! Se dice que Sia es pop pero no sé ..te recomiendo que escuches la canción Buttons para que juzgues por ti mismo ...es muy buena.

hey my dear friend! i'm fine and you? i hope you're not sad =o you don't deserve it xD so, i've been a little bit occupied in msn this week and the next week i will have tests all the day, but at night i will be here and in msn! its just send a message! because i never know when you're really occupied..you know huuhuhhue so that will be the best shows ever *.* but i have hope that NIN will really come this time..i hope! see you soon and is always great to see you, rodrigo! my best distant friend!

hey! my great friend rodrigo! don't worry! if you need anything, you gotta be sure i'm here to help you! and there's some things that we can say for anyone..there's a right person to say..if you know what i mean huaeuhaeuh No one needs to know about it, only someone who wants to help you! and i hope you're much better today and the problem is solved! and i have that version! when you enter the msn i'll pass to you!

Hey, you have the Effortless Now Demo? I've never heard that. I'll exchange a song with you for that, man. And I saw you were looking for other stuff by Embrace, did you know they have a download store? It's right here: http://www.7digital.com/stores/default.aspx?shop=233

hey rodrigoo!! thanks a lot! and i'm sure you will be the best when you go to university too! so its great to know that is everything fine with you! and don't worry if you are very bussy right now because i'm a little too, but you gotta sure..i never forget you! my best international friend! i hope see you very soon to update our conversations! huuhe see ya!

Happy '09 bro ;) glad to help.

Buy her some Groove Armada and you can do no wrong bro.. Their album "Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub" has some absolute stunners on it. "Vertigo" is also an amazing album.. GA are chillout kings ;) The Ministry of Sound also make some good chillout mixes.. Might be worth looking into.

hey rodrigo! happy new year too! this was the best vacations of my life *.* i hope that your vacations were great too! see ya!

sigur ros es definitivamente una de las bandas q escuchare en este nuevo anio solo he escuchado dos cancipnes de ellos y me gustaron bastante, pero falta escuchar toda su discografia xq sigur ros es para escuchar su disco entero, solo q no he tenido el tiempo, escuchare tambien a feeder para ver q tal, algo q no estaba acostumbrado a escuchar seria fightstar son una banda q creo q crecera muchisimo en su nuevo disco esperemos q si. nos vemos!!
