There needs to be a better way to share files than a Gmail account. How about an RM Dropbox folder?

i'll offer a B+P for the first five people to ask

The gmail would be fine if we had a code word for it that didn't alert it to a zillion other people.

Does anyone have a link that I can get. I have a dropbox account with the Water on the Road mp3's and some other Eddie solo shows that I would be willing to share

Isn't it all the remote logins that gets the account frozen?

That's why a google hang out is a better idea. You can share files real time.
Not sure hang outs have a population limit or not.

Is there a limit on file size?
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

I've got no fucking clue, probably. You'd think other people would use accounts for this kind of thing though. I'm fucking about really, if no one mentioned the gmail I wouldnt know about it either :lol:

I call bullshit on these three tracks though

Not sure. Think it's the same idea as whatsapp except on a computer.

Sweeeeet Jesus. I'm hoping a full leak is on the horizon. October 15th is a long ways away and I have the patience of a two year old.

No idea why.
Cos as much as its an attempt to do something new it just isn't that good?

Easily the low point of what we have so far.
I can not support this at all.
In fact I don't know if the band has sounded this fresh since 1991
sounds fresh by rehashing a sound Led Zep ripped off in 1969? :?:

My initial reaction to these four songs:

Getaway is far and away the best track.

Lightning Bolt sounds 10x better here than the Wrigley version.

LTRP is pretty terrible. Especially the chorus which sounds like an 80's sitcom theme to me. Maybe it will grow on me but I doubt it.

Swallowed Whole is obviously an old Ed solo outtake. Not terrible but kind of boring.

The production (especially on the solos) sounds exactly like Backspacer to me which doesn't bother me too much since I'm not a BS hater.

All in all I give them a C.

This looks like it will be the first PJ album I don't really care for.

OK, a group hangout can have a maximum of 100 people. Video chat is restricted to 10.
