Online literary bastardisation?
No, that's OK in general, but I keep reading it as 'rimming' and I don't like to mix my bathroom with my bedroom if you know what I mean.
Understood. How about: poosting?
Perfect.

It's dangerously close to something I would like to attempt on Stippy.
If there is one person I'd let try...

Does anyone have any good, cool website suggestions? I'm so bored with my regular rotation.

Soundcheck song is Infallible and I can't wait to hear it. It sounds like the type of song Ive been waiting for , dark and heavy but still melodic and beautiful. And followed by Pendulum!

My prediction is that 'Getaway' through to 'Swallowed Whole' is sure to be a great run of songs. The last four, we'll see.

The end of the album hinges on Yellow Moon and how it interacts with SBM and FD.

And whether I like SBM as much as I want to, and whether LTRP is any good, and whether the instrumentation of FD lifts it a little, and and and... *gulp*

MFS sounds interesting, more than anything. That's all that I know. And more than anything, it's PJ being *interesting* that I miss. Stuff that I have to get my head around, not stuff that's instantly bad or good.

Just about every review of Ltrp was positive

MFs does sound interesting, but that is hardly my favorite road that they travel, so we will see.

Definitely, the first half of the album is looking very strong. I need to hear more about Swallowed Whole though , nobody said anything overwhelmingly positive about it, but I'm still hopeful. I also hope My Fathers Son turns out to be a big surprise , I'm loving what we have heard about it, with weird time signatures and crazy bridge. I also have high hopes for Let the records play, I hope its not just a 50's rock n roll song, hopefully its a great Pearl Jam song. And hopefully Yellow Moon can save the end the album .

I don't mind PJ's 50s-sounding songs, personally. I don't know if we can expect a great PJ song from a title like that, but I also thought that about Johnny Guitar, so we'll see. I want to hear more about Swallowed Whole as well, but from what has been said it sounds strangely engaging enough for me to like it... or enjoy figuring it out, anyway.
