Both porch and RVM came on shuffle on my drive home, and I wonder if LB live is extended the way those two are, and if so, I wonder how the condensed version works.

Same here. They could compensate for the shorter length with some interesting sounds in production, or they could something else. They could just leave it as the song it is. It might even be strengthened by being a more humble 3 minutes; or just more boring. I just don't know.

I am trying to follow this while my daugther is sitting in my lap grunting, wincing, and crying because she has to fart, and I just can't do it.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I am starting to come around to this whole platypus account thing.

That guy in the back gets funnier and funnier the more you look.

How many records can you name that you love which you would say are truly composed from a point of happiness/contentment/joy?
Dylan's "Nashville Skyline" is always the example I give of a light, happy record that really works.

Until I threw it all away....

I would like to recind all rights to the the idea that something will happen on the 15th.

This is going to be a bigger flop than the the first pj.com one, when fuck all happens, and i fear harmless will finally snap and hunt me down for lying.

Mine · Post by **Mine** » Wed August 21, 2013 2:50 pm

around 15th is a realistic guess IMO. I think they will release another single in the beginning of October.

You boys, you get my hopes up and then let me down.

I just noticed this, sorry if someone pointed this out already.

When AN posted the latest "rumored" tracklist floating around (http://www.alternativenation.net/?p=30997), "PJ" - the guy who apparently knew ahead of time about MYM and Sirens - had this to say: "2,4,5,6,8,9 are all legit. I have no idea about the rest." Which doesn't reveal a whole lot more than what we already knew but it does suggest that Sleeping By Myself is legit.

yeah, confirming SBM would be the only new info there, but still nice to know, thanks for posting that.

now i wonder if he is saying the songs and their position on the album are legit, or just the songs?

Perhaps I can answer your question with another question, if I may. Where's the Sponge?

The answer is in the tracklist itself.... in the Undertow.
