You have to prove how big a Pj fan you are.
This could solve my quest to propose to my other half in one swoop.

I'd fucking love to win this.
Let me know how we can help :).

groetjes,
Mirella :)

Sure will, thanks Mirella!

I kind of expected this after hearing the first few songs. I wondered what possible gloss BoB could've added to the studio track from the soundcheck, and what I imagined was something like this. But I like the random noises, like that cut-and-paste "Huh!" which I presume is Ed. LOL.

I never noticed the end of LB leak had the start of Infallible on it, and this vignette along with the soundcheck song, seems to paint a promising picture...

there is also quite bit of research being done demonstrating that liberals and conservatives (read fundamentalists in this context) actually have literal differences in how their brains function (the activity in the parts that respond to stress, threat, contentment, etc).

I know what to expect. I've studied the 'soundcheck' leak plenty enough to know this one's got very little chance of failing.

Never underestimate PJ, though :lol:

I may or may not have a slight Stone crush after this vignette. I didn't know he was an artist.

okay, that was pretty great.

I confess I wasn't sure why everyone was so excited about that shitty soundcheck recording.

Now I know.

I actually like it more than what i was imagining we'd get from the soundcheck song. I hope the weird electronic shit is throughout the song and not just the intro.

I knew stone would bring the goods.
