I have a stupidly long email address on Gmail and would like to get it changed, or even just get a new one, but I can't see how. As soon as I log in on Google it knows who I am and signing up for a new email doesn't work.
Is there a way to get my email address changed or get a new one that I can then switch to?
Edit 2 July 2010:
I need to clarify the question because I haven't had an answer to what I want to achieve. I want to change the primary address on my Google account (https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount). When I click the link to edit "Email addresses", the primary email is shown without an option to switch/change it. When I try add a new Gmail email address, it says
"You cannot associate a Gmail address with your Google Account."
I want the primary email address on my Google account to be a shorter Gmail email address so that I can eventually retire the existing email address.

You can logout of your Gmail account, and then sign up for a new account. Once you've created an account, go back to your original account and forward everything to the new account.
