Hesitation Marks is good alright, listening to it a lot. Is the chvrches album good? I gave the singles a whirl but I thought her voice was a teenie and the songs were very familiar. Is it more of an album or is there much beyond the singles? Expensive month with PJ and arcade fire too....
I'm completely blown away by it. I can't stop playing it. It's a beautifully cohesive album. We're all dying over it in the CHVRCHES thread if you want to pop in so we don't clog up this thread again with CHVRCHES love.
I think this thread needs a break from accusing the band of copy and pasting the album, stats on forum activity and leak anticipation... Not saying I don't understand why it's happening... My girlfriend says I seem distant but it's our first PJ release together... She only got a brief taster of it when ...like clockwork came out :)

I'm enjoying my second PJ release with my wife but at the moment it's pretty much just me searching for leaks and her going "That's nice, love." Anticipation is not high after Backspacer.

Gotta say, however much I'm enjoying the songs, I'm not sure I care about seeing them live on TV. Especially if Matt ballses up the intro of Sirens again.

Having worked at Disney World and drunk the Disney Koolaid, this makes me very happy. Where can we start a petition to get Eddie to 'stache it up?

That's pretty cool. I lived in Orlando from 2006-2010, so I had a lot of friends who worked (and still work in some cases) for Disney.

What did you do there?

I was one of the cultural exchange peeps at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Stereotyping it up for the tourists while dressed in khaki. At least 60% were convinced I was an actor because a white person "couldn't possibly be from Africa".

That's awesome. I had a really hot fling with a cultural exchange person from Norway who worked at Epcot back in 2011. Ahh, memories. I hope you enjoyed the living fuck out of your time in Orlando.
