I seem to remember a page where Harmless said something critical of Lightning Bolt and then spent 3 or 4 posts arguing to himself about it. No one else was posting. Not long after he crashed and burned (the first time). It was truly a look into the mind of madness. Poor bastard.

Just now noticing Getaway sounds like My Sharona or however it's spelled.

Man, "Getaway" wishes it was a fraction as good as "My Sharona"

Happy birthday Lightning Bolt :)

Unlike Backspacer, which remains in heavy rotation, I don't really listen to L-bolt much anymore. Having said that, I still enjoy almost every song on the record from beginning to end.

I have a two year old plant that has aged better than Lightning Bolt, but I'm sure your nephew is infinitely better than my plant.

This album remains unmoved from my "least favorite Pearl Jam album" spot -- I like maybe 1/3 of it, another 1/3 I can passively enjoy if the mood strikes, the remaining 1/3 I still believe reigns surpreme as the absolute worst handful of songs this band has ever put out. I will say that "Sirens" has grown on me.
