That's the clue, it's really a new b-side called:

Tuesdays gonna be great for everybody

The days are a goin' by
Time is old and I cant wait
Ya know man I can't lie
Cause everyday I masturbate

Tuesdays gonna be great for everybody
Something new is comin' our way
Tuesdays gonna be great for everybody
Just you wait for the great day

Yeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
ooooooooooooohhhhhh

:lol: One day at the office a co-worker asked me whose photo was on my desktop wallpaper (it was of Ed holding his guitar and wearing a tennis wristband, pre-beard era, I think), I said: "That's my favorite singer". And she says: "Is it the one that howls?"

I quite enjoyed the "covers" of the new songs .i.e Getaway. Imagine hearing a whole album of slightly dodgy bedroom recorded interpretations of Lightening Bolt material for a month before hearing the final product on release day. That would be quite a unique experience. Someone should pass this onto 10C for their next marketing strategy.

I'm afraid we'll end up with BoB's covers on a keyboard.

That still fits in with my start low and finish off with a high concept.

Does anyone know who plays the piano in Around The Bend and Low Light? This is important for my evaluation of BOB.

Prediction: how BO'B plays the piano will depend entirely on (how he views) the song. When the song is wrong (SoS), his part will be wrong.

Man, I can't really dislike this dude if he has done so much good for the band. Let's see what he does in Lightning Bolt.

Never heard that, but possibly. But I'm referring more to BO'B's everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink approach to extra instrumentation. It's clearly worked before, it's not worked recently. Hopefully that's due to his perception of the purpose of the songs.
