Personally, I’d release Stevie and then Won’t Tell. And then maybe another one, to be honest.

There isn’t really a good reason (that I am aware of) not to release a ton of singles at this point. Use it to keep the record in people’s minds.

yeah, Wont Tell and Stevie should be released as singles. Something Special could work too, specially if they put it out on some netflix series or something.

But they should also play live in SNL or Fallon.

Like PJ gave a fuck about this stuff anyway.

I'm not really sure what the protocol is with singles these days other than it seems like most bands release all of their singles *before* the album comes out. That's a lot different than the pre-streaming days where several singles would be released after the album launch.

With that said, I did notice that the Foo Fighters had a single ("The Glass") come out about 6 months after the album date this past year. Fallout Boy did something similar. So, I'm not sure what PJ will do but I definitely agree with you.

Does Stone still take lead on album tracks? Briefly on Got to Give, right? What else from DM or Gigaton?

Have they decided that Mike is going to play the “solos?”

Well, this is the first record they've released in a long time that works with a good morning run. Still skipping Something Special though. Ugh.

Watching Stone play that little noodling riff during the verses live was one of the highlights of the shows for me.
He was great on all of the new songs.

Sorry if it's somewhere in this thread and I just missed it, but did anyone do a lossless rip of the Howard Stern performances? If so, can I ask for a share?

I think the best quality versions of the Stern tracks were the ones posted on YouTube - Brett Eliason said in a recent SOLAT podcast that he mixed these versions :hooray:

I’ll rip/edit and upload them later in the week :thumbsup:
