I think the earliest we'll hear it is next weekend after Australia get it :(
:wave:
We actually get it on Friday :)
With the timezones it means it'll either be Thursday here when you get it.....or Saturday? Or well, Friday, I may be confusing matters. Either way I gotta wait till some kind soul unleashes it unto the internet.

I saw the gif before I read what you quoted, and I was kinda let down you hadn't quoted the post about McP getting ready to bleach his anus.

A standard rule - lower your expectations to near rock-bottom whenever you see one of my posts, then it will almost be impossible for you to be let down.

RM has been more entertaining in the last 3 months than in the last 3 years. So even if Lightning Bolt turns out to somehow become horrible, and I hate every song--even the ones I like--it was still a great 3 months.

Reminds me of Wrigley before the rain delay. They showed a guy in the front row on the screens during one of the songs ( Nothingman maybe?) that WAS SO INTO IT.

Then he had to leave the front row. Wonder if he made it back up. I felt kinda bad for him.
what is this gif actually from?

So the gif is from the Weld video. I thought it was from Hey Hey, My My, but it's not. Chest pounding dude is in Hey Hey, My My, but just nodding along coolly. That being said, like 85% of this video is gif-worthy audience reactions shots. Some of it amazing. At least five shots that would make even better gifs than the chest pounding dude (and I say that with the utmost respect for chest pounding dude).

okay, I'm going to pick up Ellie and go home to my family. When I get back I'll check to find out whether or not my plan for this evening is to ignore the hell out of them and beg Hilary for forgiveness tomorrow.

I think my favorite part is 4:02 - 4:16, when the woman with the glasses and the vaguely nun-like outfit screams "HEY HEY, MY MY!" and then starts pounding her fist.
