Listened to Earthling for the first time in like a year and really enjoyed it. Good energy, good vibes.

It was awful. I only listened to that album once. Just tried again and at 0:36 I've switched off.

Getting to midnight feels tough tonight, but the post-release rush will make going to bed even tougher.

On the one hand, I'm glad I live on the west coast. On the other hand, I might be staying up for Jon Stewart anyway.

my favourite thing about the DM riff is that the last note of the cycle goes a half-step up instead of a (more predictable) step down

Yes. Lean into the unpredictable, Pearl Jam. I think part of the Brendan O'Brien problem on BS and LB is that he leaned into predictable, and kind of encouraged the band to as well.

Heads will explode if DM is 2:53 and we’ve heard the majority of its parts in clip 1, wiki clip, and metal door snippet.
