How's it going sarge ?
Not bad, thanks man. Still got a lot going on IRL which is keeping me occupied, and is helping with repressing the urge to listen to leaks. How about yourself?
Doing well, as i mentioned the other day in the no leak thread, Im really enjoying the new Dr dog album and that is keeping my mind off of the leaks :D

Don't do that. It'll taint the whole thing.

Listen to it stoned once you're familiar with it.

I wanna hear it on ketamine. Animal collective are great for k. Merriweather post pavilion is anyways. I just can't get into their other stuff despite loving this record

Yeah. Someone thinks you would never use "antithetical" in a conversation. :gomez:

I'm not into picking nits over word use or calling out grammatical errors, but I write/edit for a living and that opening sentence is the worst goddamn thing I have ever read.

It's not all part of the sentence; the subtitle was included in it when the person copied and pasted. The first sentence of the review begins at 'Begun...'.

Well then. That makes much more sense. Sensational use of the return/enter key by the initial poster. My hate will be appropriately directed at him from this point forward.

:nice:

I just... well, whoever listed a bunch of words he thought were pretentious and would never be used in conversation should be shot. I think I've used all but one of those words in conversation, and regardless, none of them are difficult words in writing.

Completely agree with that statement. Euthanasia is the only way to deal with the ignorant "big word" listers of the world. That's what we're talking about here, right? :haha:

I was kinda hoping that when I got my Backspacer and Moonlander vinyl in the mail yesterday that they would have sent my copy Lightning Bolt by mistake, but sadly no dice.

Sad Panda.

According to the countdown clock, I should be able to download LB at 9pm on 14th October. I'll be extremely pissed if it hasn't already leaked by then though.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.
