That's....appalling :shake:
Really? I think it's fair game. They aren't just banning people for listening on Rdio or sharing the link are they? That would be pretty bogus, but if people are swapping a stolen song, the so be it.
It's not a stolen song if someone like rdio, spotify, iTunes, Pandora, etc. has had it up for multiple hours. And would Radiohead or Reznor ever act that paranoid? I understand trying to cut off leaks and torrenting but this is unreasonable.
I suppose there is probably a policy being broken by ripping the song. Nevertheless, 10c enjoys fucking over the people that keep them afloat.
Ripping it is one thing but listening to it on Rdio is ridiculous, how can they even access that information about who's listening and if they're 10C. Absurd hypocrisy that a band that ripped on bush for patriot act (silent about Obama's involvement but that's another deal) would go to such lengths to prevent a single that got intentionally leaked by someone connected from getting heard two days before.

Awesome song. Can someone repost the lyrics that I saw a bunch of pages ago? I can't seem to find it.
Yep, just keep forcing it on yourself. It totally gets there.
I can't tell if you are making fun of me or not, but yes! Do that!

As always, the band probably has no idea what Ten Club UK is doing.

Every band you listen to can be appreciated instantly? I don't believe you... but it sounds convenient.

No way is it gonna be 'huge'.

How in the hell does it remind you of vitalogy? :?

I get the people saying they've perfected what they wanted to do on backspacer, but all that says to me is they've spent the last 5 years trying to polish a turd. They might have got it good and shiny this time round but its still a turd.

It's music. You don't like the music. 'Turd' is a metaphor.

A couple of these songs have gone from Meh to Love after some repeated listens. I don't have a problem with that. Usually its because the song hasn't met my expectation going in. Sometimes it takes a couple of jolts to work it through. Sometimes it never gets there, mind you, but i'm glad that with this album it keeps getting there.

Besides. I firmly believe songs that take a few to get from Meh to Love ended up lasting.

Shit, of course not. Ignore my comment. If it was offline they would be; online, no.

But still, *the* Ten Club don't have to answer to Pearl Jam, I'm guessing.

I'm sorry but i fully believe this song was prised from betwixt the buttcheeks of messrs Mike mccready and Brenden O'Brien before they rolled it alltogether and handed it to the band to get to work on.

So let's see. Now the only PJ member who hasn't secretly 'colluded' one-one with Brendan O'Brien is Stone.
