Is harmless a b-side ?
Exclusive digital content.
I'm analog, I would love to hear it. What is the best place to get it at ?

I like future days but would probably be pretty happy with that
Where do you get the song harmless at ?

No Nuge getting played over here, but I just found out there's a Kelly Clarkson Christmas album coming out in a few weeks, so that's pretty exciting.
Really that is great I hope you enjoy it. This sounds weird but it is very true I had a dream about having Christmas with Alicia Keys last night. She had 4 Chistmas trees. I spent the whole time explaining to her that she was not a role model.
That sounds like an excessive amount of Christmas trees. I feel like I wouldn't enjoy an Alicia Keys Christmas. I bet her Christmas trees are those really fancy ones and I bet it's all people drinking wine and sitting on white sofas. I bet she doesn't even play the John Denver & the Muppets Christmas album either. Which is bullshit if it's true. That album is fucking great.

The article I read says that there's a version of Silent Night with Reba McEntire on it, so that should be pretty special. I love Christmas music. I bet the deluxe edition has a version of Let Me Sleep on it.

My favorites are Another Lonely Christmas by Prince, Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade, and pretty much any good version of Fairytale of New York or O Holy Night.

Yes! That's a fantastic one. The Jackson 5 version of Frosty the Snowman is another good Motown one.

This album may scrape in at 9 for me but so far it's at ten. I enjoy 7 tracks though.

so, i might be pages late, but isn't the crescent moon related to islam, related to MYM? seems pretty straightforward. and there's also love, under the moonlight, but not a full moon--no certainty there. sticking with the religious concept in PJ's work, the eye can tie back to "I am Mine," the heart represents obvious heart things, and less obvious ones (the religious fanatics, political fanatics, etc have their heart in it), fire burning--well, ties in with emotions and the heart, and also ties in with political/religious violence. i don't know what that middle thing is.

if the middle icon is a record, then it could be an antidote to extremism (maybe known as futile, but not worthless), a way to get from the violent half of those symbols to the loving half.

Where do you get the song harmless at ?
I can play it to you, personally, while you sleep.

I kinda wish the bonus digital content with Lightning Bolt would have been a video of harmless listening to the album in its entirety for the first time.
