There is a listening session in Berlin at the Ramones museum on September 3rd. We will be going to the one in Amsterdam the day after. Brendan O'Brien will be there as well, so it should be good. :) Besides Mirella and me, there will be two other PJ fans as well. The rest will be around 50 people from the music industry, journalists, etc.
I'm one of the other two fans :).
Really looking forward to this and hopefully we are allowed to write you all our impressions.

If we can ask Brendan O'Brien a question what would be a good one?

'In your interview about Lightning Bolt, you seemed to be guarding slightly lukewarm feelings about it. Does this mean we can expect it to be good?'

Who's idea was the cheese piano on future days?

Which of the pj albums you produced is your favourite sounding, or in terms of production? Other than this one

Did PJ ask you to play at Wrigley or did you just impose?

What do young people do?
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

ask him if the two recording sessions give the record a schizophrenic quality, or if there is a common thread that is running through the album

I'd ask him why Audioslave split up. He'd be perfect to answer it seeing as he was the producer on their last album. Cornell alluded that some of the album isn't even Audioslave, it's session musicians.

We already know why they split. Because they sucked.

If you're going to be posting in this thread, you need to be providing us with a tracklisting for the new album. We're halfway through the track reveal and you haven't given us an updated list since the reveal began. We're all dying to know if Punch N Judy is still on the album or not.
