Yes, she was. I assume that is a more recent picture that you are trying to pass off as a picture of her in her prime. She still looks pretty good, though

Really?
Without all the bronzer, absolutely. But is that a recent photo?

You only have to Google Image 'Ginger Spice' and there are tons of better photos, and some drag queen impressions.

She's an acquired taste, granted. But that's why I'm not often in the hot girls thread; most of them aren't hot imo. Too generic.

Tell her you know a guy on the internet from the UK and he was a big fan. Sometimes she made him even bigger.

Oh no I don't actually see her. Just that show A LOT. She seems alright but whatever.

Anyway guys. 36 days to go. After a burst of intense interest last week I have settled back into hopeful anticipation for LB. There'll be 4-5 great tracks I'm sure and hopefully 8 that I will want to hear. (Truthfully AM is taking most of my musical interest at the moment. Plus Lanegan, Pixies and Vista Chino. LB will have to be good to get some spins here.

Kings of Leon this month, if you're still into that.

I predict that Lightning Bolt will have higher highs than Backspacer or S/T, and the lows won't go as low.

Now that would be a thrilling conversation. Though probably rather short.

I'm so excited about the single, because it will be so revealing. We already know, I think, that this album won't be the same thing as Backspacer, even if it contains similar elements. The question of where PJ could go with modern BO'B is pretty nerve-wracking but also really fascinating. What if we actually do find out that his worst indulgences were meant specifically for Backspacer? What if we find out that some of the more indulgent stuff on this record is actually really cool because the songs are more conducive to it?

Yup, for that reason I hope the next single isn't Future Days. A mid-tempo track would showcase where the production is going the best I think. Lightning Bolt would be good as it has a lot of different parts and a mix of guitar and piano. I really want to know how that song sounds. The guitars and how "layered" it is especially.

Definitely. I want to know the piano doesn't bring it to a halt like it does Unthought Known. The good news is there doesn't seem to be enough space in LB for the piano to ruin it.
