Think you've answered your own question there. At the end of the day they are a band who are now entering their fourth decade. They are utterly irelevamt to the kids of today. They are not about to set the world on fire with their new record, and the only reason its viable for them to keep going is because they have an established fan base who will always buy new records even if they are shit, and still come to see them live.
Also the way that music is promoted has changed. Its not the 90s anymore. There is only one TV show for live music with a finite number of slots per season. Not as many people listen to radio now, and music TV channels havnt really shown videos for years. No one other than fans cares about this stuff, so in an industry where artists are not making alot of money from people actually buying records they are not going to waste money on it.

Well said.

Which makes their almost always hit-heavy sets so frustrating for me (not that they ever tour North America). At this point, surely the people still turning up for their gigs would appreciate something else by now.

Amazing. If they don't kill you, maybe introduce the gigantic scorpions to the work of Manic Street Preachers, they might like it!

The most appreciable thing I can imagine at this point is them dropping the backing musicians (Naysmith may be allowed on stage for strictly necessary songs). Their live show have always been best as barebones when they interpret their bigger songs rather than try to recreate album versions.

*Invents scorpion repellent/antidote/invincibility cheat in preparation of influx to the hill.

So yeah, I don't have iTunes. But they wouldn't give them times for something weeks away. So I'd imagine it's close. Excellent news, thanks!

Not got a link but another behind the scenes video. A masked Nicky plays bass then swears at some cables.
Well I thought it was funny.

So those making of videos... are they the same length as the clips on twitter (about 30 sec)? For those of us who have no interest in visiting the zuckerverse.

Listings for the Japan releases are now up (regular, deluxe), although there's no indication what the bonus track(s) are.
