Almost as bad as Mike's art from a few years ago.

Imagine being reincarnated as a pack of Polaroid film and you’re used for Mike McCready’s undergraduate-level art project

i don't like that PJ used their official account to hock copies of Jeff's new crappy solo album

there should be a de minimus threshold of quality associated with that account

that single should not meet that threshold

i would wager that Boom is putting up better solo work out in HI right now

gimme somma dat island vibes

not jeff's white people problems

It’s 2023, we’re far past the conversation window of talking about a quality bar for PJ

That Deaf Charlie album is now streaming. And it's different....

It's like Indie pop with Jeff singing...It's weird it even has a reggae song.
On first listen I dont think this is a good as his solo records. But I liked 'Born to Win' and 'Comeback player of the year'''

Deaf Charlie is not that bad. But it's also not really doing a whole lot for me.

I really like most of his solo records and thought RNDM or Tres Mts were both really great.

Nice to see Jeff giving Abbruzzese some props:
(Tremor Christ) was another one where Stone had that insistent verse part. It was like a chord that has a blue note. We were at Kingsway in New Orleans at Daniel Lanois' studio with Brendan [producer Brendan O'Brien]. I remember that song came together super quickly. That song, "Last Exit," and I think "Nothingman" got recorded in that session.

Both "Tremor Christ" and "Last Exit" started with Stone playing a couple of chords. And Dave Abbruzzese plays a great drumbeat on that song. The bass is really free – it's sort of moving all over the place, moving around Ed's vocal.
