Hey Marina,
Being a fellow whiskey lover, thought you might enjoy this article on using whiskey by-products to create eco-friendly biobutanol.

Raise your glass for the environment! ;-)

Isn't Katy Perry copying you?

It'd be perfect to sing Hollywood with the burger-bag and I thought it'd amuse you if you hadn't seen it yet!

Dear Marina, I think you are amazing!
I love your songs! I have an idea... maybe you should change your hairstyle/colour to make more of a significant appearence? E.g Florence and the Machine = Red. Katy Perry = Blue with a short fringe. I think this would make people maybe remember you more?
Thanks! Amis xxx

So 'Oh No!' was the last single from the album? I wanted 'Numb' or 'Hermit the Frog' as the last single, but OK. Now I'm really looking forward to 2011 to hear your new fantastic music. You inspire me a lot, Marina.

Love from the Czech republic,
Andrew xx

new record is ganna be awesome ! :D cant wait (despite only getting family jewels a few weeks ago ! lol)

Judging by the picture of the frog, and the adding of Hermit - may I venture a guess that the next single is Hermit The Frog? Or perhaps guessing is futile. Who knows.

i found your musics , without to be looking ,n now, i cant stop listen, i cant wait for u coming to Brazil!
I HOPE SO ! ;D

Can't wait for the new record!

can't wait to your new stuff in 2011 :D :D :D I LOVE YOU MARINA!! xx

Hi Marina, I'm already looking forward to your new material in 2011! I heard about the 'deluxe' version of TFJ too; apparently it would have been similar to GaGa's Fame Monster in format :D You have made the right decision IMO.

Marina

I'm really looking forward to what whatever your planning for next year. I agree that rehashing the family jewels would be a bad idea. The album is a record of where you were at the time you made it (even though it contains tracks written over a number of years). As you say you now have new ideas and thoughts which may take you somewhere else. It would be a shame to change the original feel of the Family Jewels and I’m sure the new material would work better as a stand alone work. So If we have to wait a little longer for now material so be it.

I also agree with @RickOrr about the Diamonds. I think one of the reasons that Diamonds have come together so well is because of the way you actively interact with us, because we know you appreciate us and the way we get involved we can really enjoy participating in these communities. After all the gift of someone's time is a very great thing. I'm astonished at the work some Diamonds have put into their websites, or the pictures and videos they have created.

Shine hard too. x

For some reason, the words 'be honest' jump out at me. It could mean 'have integrity' but I take it for the more literal sense of 'be true to who you are and don't pretend to be anyone else'.

Such good advice, this site has really shown me that. And it's all thanks to Marina.

Have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV3VRzFtZYA&feature=player_embedded#! Someone loves you a lot. I wish I had thought of it first.

What can we expect from the new songs M? Will they be more in the same style as Family Jewels or are ya trying something different with these? I'm sure you'll rock whatever you try !! Looking forward to anything new and everything you do. Can't wait for Reading and your tour later in the year. See ya soon, best wishes... xx

Indifference/hate ... now that would be something to prod you on. As a man now more famous for promoting butter ( his self-confessed secret weapon) once wrote: "Anger is an energy"

He meant it man - from such negatives a lot of positives can grow, tho it seems unlikely you're hated. It's hard to create stuff that reaches people when everything in life feels hunky dory. The fact that even children's playgrounds, community designed and community planned, are now scrapped, suggests all is NOT well in the UK and there's a whole lot to get thinking about ... on a personal level.

Good to read you are working on new material as others have commented already.

@MarinasDianond...i totally agree..the insight is amaazing haha..:) Its nice to have an artist who truly values her fans enough to give us that privilage :)
Cant wait for new album/video/release...its like an addiction LMAO :D

being Authentic and not falling into Bad faith this I work on every day

The world hates you, and they have all reason, they hate what they fear and they fear strong and independent people the most

So keep on fighting....
Don´t do your best push harder do what is necessary

btw I think you should publish all your old songs here on your homepage. No new productions just as they are I
think this is of real importance for Marina and the diamonds as an artists project

sorry for my lame english

@ rickyorr

i agree with u

im glad she wont extend it cuz ur right u either buy it a second time or loose out on buying it

Finally, an artist who understands that releasing a continuation of another album is utterly RIDICULOUS. And that is brilliant to hear Marina! Ditto on the "10 years worth of parties" thing - hermit for art. We've got to make sacrifices for what we love (not to be mistaken with "for who you love" nada on the sacrifices there)

Can't wait for the new album... glad that there will be no deluxe version... sometimes deluxe versions of albums are clumsy and overtly long, and The Family Jewels is, in my eyes, perfect as it is. I wouldn't change my cd for the world, I love it to bits as it is. I'm proud that I can be a part of the diamond community and support you. As Rickyorr said, Diamonds are forever
