I'm pretty sure you very much wanted to say.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Mirella has posted her thoughts from the listening party but they're in Dutch at the Moment. I've asked about an English translation.
This sounds promising, but it's pretty late...

No one's going to throw shit at you for giving us your impression of PJ songs. What makes you think they will? We've got loads of reviews from Pit members collected in a thread, and we've gratefully received every one of them, regardless of taste. It's just a bit annoying when you say things like 'I've got the inside scoop but it would be disrespectful to the band to tell you about it.'

no joke, but are you new to RM, harmless? dime does this whenever the opportunity arises and the only reason i know this is b/c he's told us about it.

I don't know how long I've been here but I wouldn't say I'm new. I know dime does this, but I also think he's not a bad dude, albeit an extremely confusing and frustrating one sometimes.

One of my on related highlights ever was watching ex bring mirella onstage at his solo show last year, and singing Bugs to her. Such a well deserved money for her and a brilliant night afterwards, all of us drinking and celebrating it :)
