Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

As sick as it makes me to say it, I agree with Kaius.

Starting with Innerspeaker sounds like a good idea to me too.

I need to give Lonerism another shot before the show in November, it turned me off the band for a while. I wonder if I'll view it differently after Currents.

Innerspeaker = caterpillar

Lonerism = butterfly

Currents = haven't figured that out yet.

I feel like such a fool for my initial disappointment with this album. It is so fucking good, though there are a few production choices that baffle me. Why not flesh out Nangs into an 8 minute psychedelirama? Why include Gossip at all? Why the hell would you ever cut Disciples that short?! Maddening. Here's my song rankings, at least at this moment:

Currents

The Moment
Let It Happen
Love/Paranoia
Eventually
Yes I'm Changing
The Less I Know The Better
Reality In Motion
New Person, Same Old Mistakes
Disciples
Nangs
Past Life
Cause I'm A Man
Gossip

I used to download music illegally. Everyone has. No one is innocent. Everyone has done that. If someone says, 'Hey man, I love your album, it really got me through a breakup, but I downloaded it for free,' I'll be like, 'Good! That's good!' Maybe he didn't have the money for the album, but if he still listened to it and it's an important part of his life, that's all I can ask for. I don't want his twenty bucks.

What if you could afford music, but still download it?

Not just you, I'm going through something of an internal backlash at present. It'll pass, probably.

I was beginning to consider selling my ticket to the show next month but I thought I'd throw together a mix to try and drum up some last chance enthusiasm - and hey, it worked! Looking forward to it again now, I'm an idiot.

I think all three records are quite uneven overall but the good bits are really good.
Spoiler: show
1. Desire Be Desire Go
2. Edors Toi
3. Apocalypse Dreams
4. The Moment
5. Sundown Syndrome
6. It's Not Meant to Be
7. Yes I'm Changing
8. Forty One Mosquitoes Flying in Formation
9. Mind Mischief
10. Let It Happen
11. Elephant
12. The Less I Know the Better
13. Why Won't They Talk to Me?
14. Eventually
15. Alter Ego
16. Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control

That's a killer playlist.

Kevin Parker is incredible. There. I said it.
