I was really struggling with that translation. It's the word "ausufern" which also could be translated as "getting out of hand" or "to overflow".
Spreading, maybe? I always like Interglot for single word translations, just to see what they come up with. In this case it does not get far, so through Dutch I would make it something like 'taking over'.

groetjes,
Mirella :)
Yeah, spreading would make sense. :)

Yes, not sure when though. It's a 3 hour show and making it through that whole show will be painful. It's only been half an hour and I'm struggling. Can't stand Berman, Carter, and Keyshawn Johnson.
:lol: I've got it dvred, though i am still watching, just probably gonna change the soon

That is spot on what I'm picturing it sounding like in my head.

That Prince Billy clip sort of reminded me of how PJ never includes the "1,2,3,4"s or the "Everybody ready?"s at the beginning of tracks, or the dropping drum sticks, etc., at the end of tracks anymore. I kind of miss that stuff . . . . .

A couple of things I've noticed make me wonder if the more interesting songs might have more moments like this:

Getaway - There's a little noise at the end (clapping or some interference, possibly a voice, I need a cleaner file to hear properly)
Sirens - At the end, you hear Stone stop his last chord on the guitar.
LTRP - The noodling on the guitar before Matt counts in is a little Vitalogy-esque.

I wonder if BoB hated that stuff on Vs. through Yield, but that was when the band wasn't listening to him. :lol:

Do you think they ever agree with him on anything? It begs the question: why even work with the guy anymore?

I think this is today. I dunno whether it'll be the entire rest of the interview or excerpts or what though.

Its also pretty dominant in Mirrorball....Jeff said in those avocado years they skipped those things because they wanted the listener to focus in the music...something along the idea of them releasing a focused type of album instead of a more garage-10 days- type of record, like Mirrorball.

I love Mirrorball by the way

The thing is, the albums that featured that extra stuff also had better songs on them.
