Welcome miachihu and Happy Birthday to today's birthday people! I had to come home from work 2 hours ago. Right now too sick do much else than lie under covers with a bucket close by. Not a happy personal day :(, so any happy news help thinking of something else. Back to bed now. Hope you are feeling better soon!

The Vikings are Norway, but Finland is within the Arctic Circle and one of the places from which the Northern Lights-aurora borealis- can be seen, so the prophesy, or wish, has come true even if Sauli is not officially a Viking. Aspen, I was gonna say the same thing--paired with the fact that Sauli worked on the Viking cruise lines, it's pretty damn close. But then the following occurred to me: Sauli may not be a viking for realzz, but Adam is! He's part Norwegian, right? Through Eber. And you can sure tell it by looking at them both. Now imagine Adam with his natural coloring for a minute (I know, I love the black, too)--replace the football jersey with, I dunno, fur, or something, or even better, nothing at all: Tall, broad-shouldered, flowing blond locks, piercing blue eyes (okay, I'm getting carried away, but you get the picture): Bad-ass VIKING. Plus, he totally came in on a ship--first time Adam visited Helsinki was on the Holland American line. So maybe Adam didn't quite find his viking, but Sauli sure as hell did. :D This is just beyond Presh.. and you're right.. It seems meant to be.. the Universe coming through again..Karma Welcome MiaHappy Birthday Suma and NefhellZinnia.. I am sorry you don't feel good.. get well quick

As much as I love the slower songs (Soaked is my fav on the album), Adam is more the "Ring of Fire" guy than the sit-on-the-stool-and-sing "Tracks of My Tears" guy. This seemed to be a big disappointment to many when his album first came out.
I hope Adam continues to follow his heart. I would never want him to feel he is boxed in.

Interesting that you say this.. I skipped all the slow songs for a very long time before I really listened to them. Then.. I succumbed to Soaked and Broken Open.. I still don't really like Loaded Smile.. and I ended up tired of WWFM &Aftermath acoustic.. was able to come back after not listening to them for awhile.. So I hope Adam #2 has a nice mix of both types of songs.. as long as they represent Adam .. how can we not like it. I am intrigued with his colabs that we are hearing about.. getting excited.. No Polka though... K..

[grin] All I can say is that on MY car's CD player the three songs on repeat are: Down the Rabbit Hole - Ring of Fire - Fever. (GlamNation Live, natch) I play Soaked when I want the kid to fall asleep in the back. Cannot remember the last time I played WWFM intentionally. It comes up on the radio enough. To this day, I can't listen to Loaded Smile all the way through. Skip it every time. ;D ETA: Wut? No Oomp-Pa-Pa?? [/i] And they all suppose what they want to suppose when they hear oom pah pah Mr. Percy Snodgrass would often have the odd glass But never when he thought anybody could see Secretly he'd buy it, and drink it on the quiet And dream he was an Earl with a girl on his knee .....Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes .....Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knowsWhat is the cause of his red shiny nose? Could it be oom pah pah? Pretty little Sally goes walking down the alley Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men They could see her garters, but not for free and gratis An inch or two and then she knows when to say when .....Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes .....Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knowsWhether its hidden or whether it shows It's the same oom pah pah She was from the country, but now she's up a gumtree She let a fellow beat her, and lead her along What's the use of cryin', she made her bed to lie in She's glad to bring a coin in, and join in this song .....Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes .....Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knowsShe is no longer the same blushing roseEver since oom pah pah[/ul][/color] ;D

It just makes me sad when people want to take the wild child out of him.

Got up for a moment. Hey, thanks guys for your all get well wishes Efficient diet, have had today half a banana to eat + just water. Don't know if I'm ready for the rest of the banana yet... lm2718 - Your kids have been well educated about true singers! gelly - loved the graphic you sent, gorgeous. miachihu - Adam #2 song choices - I'll trust Adam to deliver the very best he comes up with, and according to his own taste . Very curious indeed about what there will be! He can do anything, and do it extremely well also. Back to bed again, CU all later .

Awww....I'm all squishy now..... :D You are making me envision this pic on the cover of a romance novel, LOL Hmmm, never thought I'd see a contest pitting Adam agains Fabio. Harlequin should do that and we could show them the power of the Glamberts - whoops, I mean the Rak Stars

Oh dear, even thou Q102 didn't officially add AM, he was on their playlist but I checked today and it dropped considerably so ATop have to make an effort to keep voting. We can't let it drop.
ugh. my cell phone 3G Apple broke this weekend. I felt like a lost soul. I can't believe how dependent I am on this gadget. WEll I purchased a new 4G so re-loading all #'s because my husband won't let my on his computer . Pain in the ass!!
On the other hand, when is Sauli Leaving for his US tour? Because I think we might see some songwriting re: my lonely heart OR mssing you, OR distances can't keep us apart, etc. yes I can hear a ballad along that direction. Waiting patiently for new music.
