This is great stuff.
Indeed, definitely a cool version!

Bands should release multiple versions of songs/albums to streaming platforms these days, eg, better dyanmic range versions, bonus tracks, etc.

Mike doesn't look well at all, it's concerning.
I agree. He looks miserable. I relate, but man, just at least change your face to pretend like you kinda want to be there a little.

Loving what Ed and Jeff are saying about AI on the Simmons podcast.

Also the earlier part where Jeff basically said getting in the room together and making new music is their reason for existence. Really felt like that made solid a sequel to Dark Matter.

Ed says he quit cigarettes a long time ago and then there's just giggling for 5 seconds. Jeff's big vice is chocolate. I love you Jeff.

Listening to the Wombat remix of the album for the first time and I just have to say, it's nothing short of disgusting how good this album is! I have shouted, "Fuck you Pearl Jam!" while listening to this thing. It's just overwhelming.

Please...carry on
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

“Why is he dressed like a park ranger” is the best comment I’ve seen.

Know everyone is now sharing the Wonbat Remixer videos the insane Got To Give backing vocals https://youtu.be/Hjjl_Ebt9Zw?si=[yt]Pl-E5bCUdIo-OvgI[/yt]

I jokingly said before that Dark Matter is a reference to all the layers of music buried beneath the main tracks that we cannot recognizably hear (but is crucial to the make up of the song)… but now I think maybe that was yet another intentional metaphor for the album name.

No kidding. Stip, you and B should interview this wombat person and let them know they’ve made a bunch of fans here very happy
