‘Alternative Billionaires’


What were they thinking doing that
Not an EP.

Listen to "Dark Matter" now on Pandora's Alternative Billionaires Station here: https://www.pandora.com/genre/alternative-billionaires

I was making an rm styled schtick joke.

I clearly failed.
I want that EP that Mike promised us years ago. No laughing matter.

Where’s the Ed demos where he was taking ecstasy?

Nobody remembers that but that’s the one
there are a few songs titles for this registered with ASCAP

You’re kidding
These are all registered for Eddie. Based on the titles, I think it's a safe bet.

No. The drug.

He was in rolling stone I think it was. Talking about taking ecstasy and trying to make that kinda electronic music and not really getting it.

Good few years back. Maybe last time he spoke to them actually

God no. Wanna say around 2006? Way before he had family n kids n all that.
Glad he got it outta the way before that. He’s a great dad by all accounts.
Wouldn’t want that crap in the mix. He has more sense than most.

I remember him taking about it in 2006 but I guess he experimented and made those demos before that
