Whenever I see strange song titles such as this, I immediately look for anagrams.

Two years wasted before I found out sigur ros were from fucking Iceland.

Bastards.

Aw shit that's it isn't it. It's gonna be 4 seconds long, and the bastards put it on the tracklist.

If it exists that is. Which I don't think it does.

It's probably still a second account, but I appreciate that they took the time to set the tracklist up with the ubiquitous 'I work at a radio station' line combined with a limited postcount. That's how you do it!

I forgot about that stupid bit of paper though, dammit.

Pretty sure "Where's the sponge" is more religion bashing, this time against the whole Catholic's hate birth control thing.




Also, what do these guys have against "Of The Earth"? They finally get a non-punk-pop song out there that the fans enjoy and it gets relegated to the vault? Ugh.

I think it's fake too. There's no way Pearl Jam have written a song called "Where's the Sponge?". I just assumed that was put in there to show everyone it was a joke.

None of those is as wacky as ' where is the sponge? ' The only way that title makes sense is if its the b-side to 'billy billy microp_nis'.
