OK. yeah I can buy that it wouldnt be fair on the music or us if this turns out to be good.

I'm a little bit concerned about that little review being from a Q editor but we'll see.

I'm taking it with a grain of salt b/c his description makes it sound like the greatest song of all time.

He didn't say that now, in fairness. I took it tht he meant its them being great at what they're great at.

That can go either way for me. I often don't like when Pj are trying a bit hard to be Pj. This could well be that but still I'm encouraged.

How do we know the Q guy has heard the studio version and isn't just commenting on the live version circulating?

Q is a huge magazine. All the big ones would have been copies at some stage over te last few weeks in order to be reviewed come release date.

Also he has no reason to lie. Pj are barely covered In the British media and regarded as dinosaurs who were in a cage when all their peers became extinct and somehow refuse to follow suit. Not a lot of respect for them to be found in British media.
That's why this is equally encouraging and worrying.

you must be kidding :lol:
The part when Goodman accidentally spills Buscemi's ashes all over Bridges has me in stitches every time :haha:

Also when Bonnie says "I'll suck your dick for a thousand bucks" and Lebowski's assistant attempts a forced laugh - pure gold :haha:

I took a while to get it because it's long and some stretches aren't that funny. but it's a splicing of genres: comedy and film noire.
