If I compose a PM for rearviewmirror girl, can you please pass it on to her? That would be great!

I have to say, this MindYourTanners signature makes the board far less enjoyable. I actually find myself avoiding certain threads because of it. Please, for the love of God, or whatever, change your fucking signature. Please...

...Or, thanks for helping me not have the urge to check the forum as often?

Either way...I doubt Bob Saget is even a PJ fan.

Ahhhh! Go away, Bob Saget!

"[Lightning Bolt] is fast, punchy and to the point," enthused Brendan O'Brien, the bands long-time producer. "Matt brought in this amazing 20 minute psychedelic jam, but we managed to trim it down into this amazing hard hitting punk rocker." The resulting effort, Punch 'n' Judy, clocks in at a breezy 1:50. "It's just a load of power chords, really," deadpanned Vedder.

Also revealling from that interview - BOB likened the bands method of recording to this Simpsons clip:

I'm finding the lack of information on this album anti stimulating. I'm trying to remember how this compared to the last couple of records......less media discussion, or more? I just can't remember the interest level on an all around basis. Things seem quiet. Am I observing this correctly? It also seems like the first single was released somewhat prematurely......of course this might all just be mindless speculation on my part.
