Ed could have wrote his GED essay on this very subject. Maybe in between 8 date east coast tours next year?

He should save it for his Miss America pageant on-stage interview. It sounds like a killer answer.

I'm not saying it's profound, shall we not moan about this album being uninteresting again?

I'm skeptical now since my own search of twitter shows that this is the only radio station claiming they have the new single. That just seems odd. There would have to be more than 1 radio station that has this thing and that would be using it as a teaser.

I think the station said "listen for sirens"...meaning theyll prob play some sound effect to let the caller now when to call in...Isnt it a ticket contest? how would people know what Sirens sounded like?

What are the chances that they would coincidentally use the hashtag #Sirens? Unless whoever is in charge of their twitter feed is a Pearl Jam fan (or perhaps even a member of RM) who is just having a good laugh at us all.

It kind of reminds me of "The Crane Wife #1" by The Decemberists combined with "The Drugs Don't Work" by The Verve.

#Sirens has leaked. Make sure you... eat your BREAKFAST CEREAL... if you know what I mean.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean?
