He's got an iPhone. I'm sure he's comfortable using Facetime. At least with Jeff.

It's me or is his taste in keyboards a relic from the 80's? i was thinking UK could sound ok in a piano and voice version. But with piano i mean an actual piano not something you'd find all over an 80's pop record.

I have literally no idea why someone would choose a keyboard over a piano.

because piano wouldnt make sense when there is gonna be at least 1 song on the album where he will be playing keytar. they want everything to sound like its from the same album

Especially when we're talking about Pearl Jam. It's sonically a bad choice.

I keep trying to convince myself they just wanted the 80s sound for Backspacer. That would be logical, wouldn't it?

So they should be listening to it right this very second, or at least watching the EPK, right?

Do people really think this is going to leak after this, by the way? I can't see it happening, because this is an official thing and 10C are going to be working like shit off a stick to make sure it doesn't leak.

I don't know why it should leak because of a listening party. At least not a real leak. And I guess even a recording of the listening party will be unlikely. There's gonna be some sort of security looking for recording devices.

I doubt it. I think this promo CDs are watermarked so that they can be tracked down if leaked.

Yeah. I mean everything is going to be done so that it doesn't leak. I don't really want to listen to a distant outside-the-building leak or anything. The soundcheck song had me excited enough and if that hope is going to be ruined at least I'd like it to be ruined with the best production possible.
