I've been getting a kick out of this kind of stip.
I've only been around here for just over 3 months. I thought this was the normal stip.

I'm so disillusioned.

Actually, a few days before you arrived, the whole board came together and decided to completely switch thread-personas to freak out the next sign up.

And then you came along.

I'm actually an erudite woman named Shirley. McParadigm, birds_in_hell and thePlatypus are actually all massively happy people, Stip usually under-analyses everything and Harmless hadn't posted a single thing until then.

You got PUNK'D.

I've decided I like that lyric. I think I would have preferred Rock and Roll for its simplicity, plus now I don't have a song to tell me how Ed feels about rock music

I don't have time for any of my other hobbies/interests/distractions anymore, so RM has to absorb much more of me than it used to

Just one of a list of things making the album feel a little less than a Pearl Jam album.

I'm listening to the vinyl right now. I'm starting to get Stockholm Syndrome with some of these songs. Lightning Bolt especially continues to rise up the rankings.....I worry for myself. Maybe I am unwell...

It was bound to happen with that signature you have there. Life makes a mockery of us sometimes.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

A facebook friend of mine made a random comment about seeing the video of Alive on VH1 Classic and remembering how awesome Pearl Jam was. A friend of his commented that the new album was "pretty good", "except Sirens, fuck that song." :haha:
