Nice one Pip!! That song just really makes me smile every time I hear it! How do you pick these things up so dang fast? And did you get my thank-you email? I never know if the thing will go through or not.

How about doing A Celebration next??

Pipster, excellent job again. Did you find my post on FB?

Al, what Cheesey said. I defo think we need footage of you on the last bus home tonight to go with Pip's video.

Cheese, totes agree about how each song makes you feel and I think the sequencing of the tracks is brilliant.

Joe, hope rehearsals are going well, I'm sure you're about to pack those cool orange pants and head off to Turkey. Safe travels.

I think the bus video would be way funnier.

Campbell - I'm catching up on posts, and so sorry for your loss. I completely sympathise with you. Try and keep your head up, lots of good people here to help. My tip, don't play track 5 from the new album

Kevvh1 - hey mate, what took you so long to get on this site lol. Welcome. New foot in the fall

Cheese, Chelle, Skip, Uncle Tom Cobley and all.... - realise I owe y'all emails. Getting there... promise. Lets say 3 days rather than 3 years :-p

JS Blackdog - so after a few more listens, what do you think?

Skip - I'm sorry about your bad news, I hope various things are keeping you on the up. There's always sweet & sour huh! Put a stone on your cairn is the guaranteed tear puller

SpaceAli - Joe uses original edge, it's his preference. You need to be careful as to which JS you are fitting an edge to as depending on the age/model the routing in the back may not allow it

Oxley11 - that hook in Lies and Truths is exactly the one I mentioned. It's just epic.

Three Sheets to the Wind cover

Thanks for the positive vibes on this guys. Have the album on at any opportunity, and the songs are just going in I guess

Cheese - it's a great groove, and I have a little movie in my head. Is that why you smile too? No idea how they translate quickly for me, expect Joe plays them light years differently. Celebration is definitely on the list. A fave for you already?

Hello friends!
I have been gone for so long I am literally reading the instructions on how to format a post... I should be ashamed. But, I have had my work cut out for me the past couple years; I guess you could say I've kind of "checked out" of a lot of things and places. Right now, unfortunately, I am in the middle of a divorce. Though I am happy to say we are still friends. I have a small group of military veteran buddies that I visit in a scheduled support group every Wednesday morning that really keep me hanging in there through everything.

I don't even remember the last time I posted here. As soon as I post this, I'll have to go check it out.. You guys have been in my thoughts even though I have not been here (or twitter, really).{br]

Anyway, I thought now was as good of time as any to log in here and check in seeing that the new album just came out and a new tour is at our doors (probably not in Boise, though). I have got to be honest, I have not even listened to UM all the way through yet. I CAN NOT make it past the title track. I LOVE that song!! Some day I will wear it out and will move along, I suppose, but, for now, that is really all I am listening to.

EDIT- I've been gone for 7 months. Still a long time, but I thought I was gone for 2 years!! Time... flies?

I'm listening Joe's music a lot thanks to the new album, discovering and rediscovering things at every moment. I relly like this feeling. Unstoppable momentum's deepness makes me think and sends vibrations making echo with what i feel deep in my heart. I also listened to Black swans and worhole wiz' a lot and I rediscovered it: actually this album is now one of my favorite.

Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the new album. It's different than prior work but no less enjoyable. I think right off the bat my 2 faves were Can't Go Back and Lies and Truths. Regarding Lies and Truths, I was listening to it the first time and thought "woah, Massimo Izzizzari." There are quite a few similarities with The Alchemist (fantastic track btw off another great album).

I am enjoying the almost constant upbeat nature of it, definitely makes me feel good and plays well when working.

The guys at this crazy Australian guitar TV show seem to have scored another little interview with Joe Joe on Unstoppable Momentum

Hi Ian..good to hear from you , hopefully we will get to catch a show together on this tour!

Hey Brian, good to hear from you too! I am waiting for a north west show as well. Keeping my fingers crossed, it has been way too long since I have seen Joe live...

See ya soon.

They play guitars in space, really!

YES!!!! SALEM OREGON BABY!

It is not really that close at all, but I'll be there, lol.

Who else is going??

OMG Northwest peeps, new shows up on the road page and....

JOE IS COMING TO SALEM, OR!!!!!!

THAT might be a show I can swing despite many obstacles....can't recall him going to Salem since we first started following him.

Bitchin, Salem is about 25-30 minutes from my house. I'm not missing this one, might make it a family night if we can swing the mula. We are also trying to make the one in Scottsdale Az for my B-day on 9/1 while we take a detour to visit my mom-in-law in Phoenix.

As for the new release my thoughts. After a 9 hour drive from Boise Id. area to McMinnville Or. with my MP3 player repeating the new release"UM" at a high volume level for those 9 hours straight I can't find a song that i don't like.The title track, Can't Go Back, Cairn, Dreamer,3 Sheets, Celebration, Summer, Jumpin's, LAT, TWOTW, are engraved in my brain.
