Would you like it better if I phrased it in the form of a PJ-related pun?

Also, switch to decaf buddy. Your heart will thank you.

A dark, moody synth version of CDM is the hidden track.

If there is a song called "You're Fired! (The President)," I'm burning my Mystery Box.

Maybe similar to the missing letter in the name of Dance of the Clairvoyants it's actually "You're Fired (The Presidents)".

Would that assuage your concern, B?

What if, instead of a song with that title, Ed works in the word YUGE or GINA(China) into a song?

In March of 2018, letch posted the following in the CDM thread:
lecherouslittlestump wrote:Can't Deny Me is on iTunes with the rest of the tracklist grayed out

1) Anthem for the Damned
2) Can't Deny Me
3) Of The Earth
4) Undertow
5) Love Trumps Hate
6) Ant Farm
7) Out Of Sand
8) Let's Roll
9) Christopher
10) Betterman (live)
And now today we see the following:
lecherouslittlestump wrote:1) Mother Earth
2) Dance Of The Clairvoyant
3) Of The Earth
4) Cold Confession
5) Sun Spots
6) Out Of Sand
7) You're Fired! (The President)
8) Mayday
9) Gigaton
10) 4x4
11) Christopher
OTE, Out of Sand, and Christopher appear in both

either that's a 2-year shitck holding on to, or there might be something there

the presence of betterman (live) however leads one to believe this is all for humor

but there will be nothing humourous about not including Of the Earth

This is all I've gotten out of him, aside from the west coast tour dates which were spot on & I didn't post about because he gave the heavy "shhhhhh" emoji.

throw him a curve-ball and ask him how he feels about 'You're Fired! (The President)'

i think the romanticism based on of the earth is rooted in the fact that it's been played live over a decade but never appeared on an album. once it does fans will grow tired of it quickly. there's really nothing special about it.

Like the production is amazing or the songs are amazing? Does your friend have good taste?
