Sounds like it
I would say yes but I still don't know; Ed put "oh-oh-ohs" in Unemployable.
:?
The thing that makes me wonder about the "oh-oh ah-ah" being something to do with Brendan is actually the black shirts and everyone lining up to the mic to sing it. They look a little like a 90s boy band there. But would Brendan arrange that? It's more likely to be a Danny Clinch thing possibly.

Not so much over here.
Maybe just give it a break and come back to it when the record's out. I don't think any song could hope to survive the amount of plays I've given these ones. I'd better stop soon tbh.
Oh, I don't think that's the problem.

I heard the song perhaps three or four times on the day it was released then once again about two or three days ago. That's been it (and it was enough, frankly).

Yes. Also, the doodoo in most of Backspacer was all Ed.

Fair enough. You just don't get it and should go listen to Nickelback. :gomez:

Same over here. Kind of killing the songs, I need to take a break.

Hello Red Mosquito.

I thought I should inform this board that the "Kat" account is not really Kat from pearljam.com. I've asked that the account be banned.

I was just a bit confused as to why you quoted those posts and then said that.

Oh, wonderful. I'm really looking forward to hearing it now.

Who wrote Sirens? Is it another in a long line of Vedder snoozers?
