Christina Aguilera's finest PJ moment
if they ever do another 'Unplugged' concert, it should be the featured single
Boom can play the keyboard part on grand piano
Josh can embrace his finest work on accent triangles

Red Mosquito
Habit
Hail, Hail
Lukin
these songs all nuke
which offsets the belly-dancing of Who You Are
If Red Mosquito was the lead single the world would think about that era of PJ much differently
"In My Tree" is also a straight-up hard rock song. The fact that it has an unusual drum beat (for them) doesn't make it something different.

“Smile” and “Mankind” also proceed directly to the rock bucket

It's a beautiful day today, and I thought I'd head outside to enjoy the day, maybe listen to In My Tree to put me in the mood. But then I realized I that on 2013's Lightning Bolt Pearl Jam wrote the superior nature song, 'Swallowed Whole', and so I put that on instead.
It was the right call.

my god you keep topping yourself, it's as impressive as it is wrong. In My Tree is about getting high. it's also a million times better than 'swallowed whole'

I was thinking this morning about moon songs/songs referencing the moon.
I'm Open has some moon lyrics, and of course the far superior Lightning Bolt track Yellow Moon makes the moon front and center of the experience, but I'm trying to think of what song will work to complete the moon trilogy. Cropduster and Insignificance are both political songs, so different use of the moon as a metaphor.
Thoughts?
