I apologize for any confusion my misstatement caused.

Well that doesn't make much sense on several counts to me and it seems he's backtracking a bit. This from Kasim's journal:

I'm here in LA.
Have been for the past week and a half.
I'm here working on a TOP SECRET project.
I HATE keeping secrets but sadly, this is one I'm gonna have to until I'm told by the powers that be it's ok to let everyone know what I'm up to.
Lets see ... How could I go about giving some surreptitious hints without getting myself in Dutch with management????
OK ... One of the guys I'm working with out here is not only an old friend of mine but someone with whom I spent the better part of 10 years working with.
Another person involved in this project has been a close friend of mine for 25 years and in 1980, helped me on my first solo record (although he doesn't appear on it).
The music we will eventually be performing is not just familiar, anyone watching primetime TV might have been subjected to one or two of the songs that are currently being used in commercials.
I wish I could give you more clues but I've probably said too much already. The plan is to announce this collaboration early next month.
Suffice to say, this project will see me out on the road pretty much all of 2006.

You wouldn't announce any form of tour if definite plans weren't in the works.
However........One thing that does puzzle me about it all is......if Kasim is on the road for pretty much all of 2006 with The Cars, then where does that leave Bat3 being released for September? up shit creek without a paddle, unless Meat gets another bassist. Without having a tour to support the release of Bat3 then I can't see it making an impact anywhere really and it becoming a CHSIB scenario.
