WAAAHHHH!!!! Okay, this sounds so good! Well, the melodies seem really great. I assume the quality of the snippet isn't the best, hence the sort of frizzy sound, so I'm gonna ignore that for now. Also, her vocals seem kind of overedited or autotuned or put through that low/high pass filter again or whatever. Not sure if I like that, but again, the snippet doesn't seem to be the highest quality; it might sound much better in hq. So far so good, however. Gosh, the melody... it's already stuck in my head! It is so catchy! Vocals remind me of TBDT, they are very high pitch. Agreed! I also hear quite some vocal production/processing that reminds me of "Flames", but it suits the song. I'm so excited!

YES!!! Now I'm actually realizing that I am excited again, because I am shaking! And 12 pm ET is perfect. That's 5 pm in Germany / Europe, I think. Though since the US will apparently be switching back to standard time in two days, it'll be 6 pm where I live. Either way, early evening is perfect. I also like the title "Bite Me", it sounds interesting. I've also noticed that she tagged Marshmello, but he's not listed as featuring artist on the single cover. Then again, neither is Avril's name. Either way, I guess Marshemllo is just a co-writer or something, so hopefully the entire song will be sung by Avril. I'd be a little disappointed if the first single turned out to be a duet or something. After waiting for so long, I want to hear just Avril's voice.
However... I can't believe this woman always has some absolutely stunning promo photos, but then chooses the worst single and album covers. No offence to anyone, but I really hate this single cover for "Bite Me". It looks so cheap and wannabe retro. I hate that weird, badly photoshopped cloud in the background. Why is it there? Were they trying to recreate a sky? With only one fake-looking cloud? And Avril's outfit... god, it's awful. It's just not my taste at all. She often wears things I'd never wear, but I still find them beautiful. This, however... Yikes! The only thing I'm okay with concerning the cover art is the "Bite Me" cake. But even that I'm not so sure about the longer I look at it.
Sorry for this rant about the single cover, and especially Avril's outift, lol. I know it's not something that matters a lot. I just think it's somewhere between funny and frustrating that ever since AL, she's been choosing such weird/bad single and album covers, whereas the promo photos, that most of the public won't even see, are usually really nice.
EDIT: Forget the part about her name not being on the single cover. It isn't on Twitter, but it is on her website (in a really nice font, too). There's also an Explicit Content warning.

Btw, the show airs at 12:37/11:37c, right? What on earth does this mean? I've never understood this. I know it's due to different time zones, but... is it 12:37 PT or EST? I need to know so I can convert it to my time. 12:37 Eastern Standard Time is the same as 11:37 Central Standard Time. Ah, so the "c" simply stands for Central Standard Time? lol. Hopefully I'll be able to remember it, now that I've realized it's actually super straightforward.

This means, if it aired tonight, we'd have to wait for a little more than 7 hours. I think...
Can someone confirm this?
I live in Germany. We just returned to standard time last weekend. I think the show would air at 5:37 am here.

Wow, Avril looks so amazing this era! I still can't fully believe we're finally getting new music, though tbh, I'm a little worried whether I'll like it or not. Still, I'm really happy she'll be on The Late Late Show with James Corden. I never watch these shows, only some clips on YouTube every now and then if there's a performance or a guest that interests me. But James Corden is by far my favourite late night show host. Maybe Avril will also do Carpool Karaoke with him at some point during this era?

"Should I drop my first single next week?" Um, no. I'm not yet ready to even attempt climbing out of my Beatles rabbit hole. I need a couple more months. Please come back next year.
Seriously, though, F I N A L L Y ! I'd honestly stopped really caring about AL7 months ago 'cause it just seemed like the wait was never going to end. And yet... I'm not entirely convinced that the wait really is (almost) over. After hearing the s-word and "in a month or two" time and time again, I just can't trust Avril's statements anymore. So, like Erik, I believe it when I see it. Gotta keep my expectations low...

Well.... that music video is... kind of a mess. Aesthetically, it's great imo. I love how the colours pop. I love Willow's and Avril's outfits (especially the blue dress and fitting lipstick of Willow's). I love that Willow seems to be having a lot of fun. And the whole idea with everything around Avril and Willow growing small, or rather, them being huge, is something I hadn't seen coming, and I quite like it. However, either Avril and Willow both absolutely suck at lip syncing, or whoever cut the video didn't pay attention to what they were doing. A lot of the time, it looks like Avril and Willow's lip syncing is asynchronous to the lyrics. Other times, it looks like they're both singing a completely different song. Maybe that was intentional, idk, but to me, it seems more like a mistake, at least most of the time. Avril also seems so low energy, as always, but next to Willow having fun and jumping around, it's even more noticeable. Sadly, I hadn't expected much from Avril anyway, since she's been performing like this for years now, and those paparazzi videos from the filming of the video already showed her seeming lack of enthusiasm. So, overall, my feelings about this video are very mixed. In one sense it's great, in another it seems totally messy. But I hadn't expected much anyway, so... eh, whatever.

I haven't been online in a while, but I have been reading this thread regularly, and man.... Part of me can't believe it's mid-October, almost late October, and we still have no new music, nor even hints of new music coming this month. And then there's that other part of me, that's actually counted with exactly what we're experiencing right now, and therefore isn't even disappointed or upset, but simply indifferent about it all. Still, when Avril said at the VMAs that she'd release new music next month, meaning October 2021, I thought it meant something, that she'd say it publicly like that, instead of just a vague comment on an Instagram post that most of the public might not even see. It gave me the feeling that this time, she was more sure than before about the release date. However, I'm now, once again, starting to doubt that she'll be able to fulfill what she said, as there's still absolutely no indication of new music this month. There's still a part of me that hopes we'll get something with that upcoming Halloween event, but I wouldn't be surprised if she just ends up performing two or three of her same old hits again. I feel like I've already said it a billion times, but it's just such a shame how Avril and her team have been handling her career during the past years. All these delays... it's crazy. I believe Avril when she says that there were issues with the label, and then of course her getting sick, those were all things more or less out of her control. So for me, the issue with the whole situation is not the delays, but the way they're handled, how she hypes us way too early and then just leaves us in the dark. Lately, I've been thinking "If she doesn't deliver this month like she said she would, or doesn't at least give us a proper explanation for the delay, I'm... done with her?" But I can't be done with her. I've been a fan since I was 9 years old, she and her music have helped me through my childhood and teens. But I'd understand everyone else who might finally have enough of her and move on, or has already done just that. Okay, rant over, lol. To add something more positive: I quite enjoyed her performance at Emo Nite. I did find it kinda cringe how she was like "I'm supposed to DJ or some shit, but I'm gonna do something better and sing some songs instead." And I do wish she'd sung just one or two more songs. But eh, whatever, I'm fine with what we got, and I was positively surprised to see her so energetic. She seemed to be really enjoying it, which is something I haven't seen from her in what feels like quite a while. As for the "Grow" music video tomorrow. Eh... I haven't listened to the song since it was released. It's okay, but it's not a song I need in my life. It just sort of exists. But it's better than nothing, I guess. And the thumbnail does look pretty cool. However, if this is what Avril meant by releasing new music in October, then I guess we all better get the clown makeup out once again.

GROW MV tomorrow! Really hoping Avril was waiting for this to be out, do an IG post for it, before she can finally move on to announce her first single And on YouTube. In 18 hours.

^ Yeah, I live in Germany, so the event would take place at 4 am for me, too. There's no info on the website about whether the stream can be accessed after it went live. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if they make a statement about this.

So, Emo Nite on October 14th and now another performance on October 28th? I get the feeling that Avril must be releasing a new single before then, at least before that House of Horrors performance. Why else would she perform there? To sing "Flames" with Mod? To sing "Girlfriend", "Head Above Water", and MHE for the 800th time? I know this is Avril we're talking about, so I'm not expecting her to perform a new song. But I do feel there's a good chance.
I also wonder if she's going to perform more than one song during that House of Horrors event? There aren't that many artists listed to perform, yet the ticket costs $25. So I assume the event must be at least an hour long, which means each artist would have to perform more than just one song, right? So maybe Avril is even going to perform a new song and one or two old ones?
Either way, I don't think I'm going to buy a ticket to Travis's event. I think it's a cool idea, but Avril is the only artist listed that I care about. However, her performances have been rather underwhelming for the past years, imo. And even though I know this isn't her event, the memory of the fiasco that was this Lyme Light concert is still too fresh. I just don't trust Avril anymore to give me something that's worth $25. If it was a matter of seeing her live in person, sure. But a live stream? No thanks. At least that's my current opinion on the matter.

Last night, PVRIS tweeted that they'd have a surprise for us "very soon". Just a few hours later, we already got the surprise - a brand new, epic song for League of Legends Esports 2021 (or whatever it's called). Avril could never.
As for Avril's birthday, I'm surprised there was no event or news or anything whatsoever this year. However, since all I'd expected was yet another lame compaign for her foundation, I'm not at all disappointed. I'm rather happy for her having gotten to spend the day with her loved ones. Also, Mod's birthday message and those photos he posted on Instagram are absolutely sweet. Even though Mod and Avril tend to be annoying at times, I'm really happy for them having found each other.
