Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Boy, am I little behind in this thread or what?

CC doesn't really do anything for me. It's just the same thing over and over and doesn't go anywhere...

I forget who said it, but LB was 11 songs and then BoB convinced them to add SBM. Don't think it replaced either of those.

and Mike harassed them until they put YM on there as well.

[stip]

Well, some people will, I'll just leave it, it doesn't matter.

For what it's worth, I get it.

Honestly, what else do you think they mean by "unique" in this instance? It's not that he's from the world of sports and they're from the world of music. The media has pushed the "Pearl Jam is friends with sports dudes!" angle ad nauseam since day one (Jack McDowell, Shawn Kemp, Dennis Rodman, Kelly Slater, Pete Sampras, Kerry Wood, Peter Gammons, Theo Epstein, etc.).

I think you're justified in being pissed off, harmless.

Cheers Lament.

It's the same old shtick time and again: rather than just an interviewer, he's a guy afflicted with a disease, who happens to be a "huge fan" who is having his life's treat, meeting PJ. The fact that he's an ex-football player and thus a sports celebrity is a footnote in this case. It's infantilisation. Mike is clumsy with his words, so I don't expect any different from him, but I'm far too used to able-bodied people talking about how great it is to be around disabled people because we are so "inspiring". That's great, Mike, but hopefully he's cool to be around just because he is? I'm talking about portrayal, because the media will always give you a version of reality, not the whole thing. And this is a formulaic one I'm very used to. It's a charitable narrative but ultimately not a particularly respectful one.

You know, I think I can understand your viewpoint. Able-bodied people are often patronising to people that disabled. I've caught myself doing it before, and it feels terrible.

It's an easy habit to fall into, instead of just treating that person the same regardless of their disability. Isn't there a saying, something like 'see the person, not the disability?'. But, there is often this feeling of needing to be extra nice, and give special treatment, to someone with a disability. I think it's mainly because that person got dealt a shitty hand, and I feel bad for them.

A former student of mine was in a wheelchair. We never talked about it, and when he wanted to get in and out of the office I'd hold the door because it was easier for him. That was about it. But there are times I wondered if he wanted it acknowledged. Like the time a friend told me he was gay and i said I didn't care

I can apply the direct opposite of this analogy to when I'm banging your mother.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

I think I would prefer sleeping by myself ( which I love) to let it ride (which I don't)

Did you switch up on them? I though at first you were more into let it ride then CC

Nope. I think cc is fantastic and let it ride is pretty unremarkable outside of some nice extended soloing

Then we agree on that for sure

Have you listened with head phone have you become one with the song? A casual listen won't do it for this song. Cold Confession asks alot of the listener. Your job is not to hear it. It is to listen, after all it is a confession wouldn't you intently listen to a confession.

Yes. Several times. And it makes sense why it's an outtake.

Leaked. Pendulum reminds me of Bauhaus or sisters of mercy. Very dark and bass heavy.

Outstanding

No worries dude. S'all good. This lack of a leak has been hard on all of us...

That's my dog
