I heard that the whole album will be played on a ukulele with one string, and it'll be recorded in B'OB's bathroom while B'OB will play the claviola and harpsichord. The songs will strictly be covers of other band's B-sides, and must be tracks that start with the letter Q, and are in the key of G#.

Boom will make a guest appearance on the jug and gyro.

It'll be titled: "While I gently make shit sparkly".

There'll also be an uncredited appearance of Jeff breaking wind accidentally on the title track, as well as B'OB gagging over the smell.

Eddie's explored a bit of spoken word on tracks like Bu$hleaguer and I'm Open, so I definitely think he's got a whole album of spoken word in his locker somewhere, fingers crossed that solo album three will be it. Ideally with each track built around a sound collage a la Foxymophandlemama. That'd be ace. The perfect yin to the poppy yang of Lightning Bolt.

I'd love for it too b collaborative with all the people he is rumoured to ave recorded with in the past.

Flea, bob pollard, jack irons, lanegan, beck, Ben harper, Hansard, Sleater Kinney.. And add a few more to the list, round out an album of ed led collaborations with artists who might push him in a different way than pj.

Perhaps years of commiserating with bourgeois pigs has left him comfortable enough to show the world what an insatiable capitalist flake he has truly become, casting aside the remnants of his anti-establshmentarian past and unveiling dazzling new tracks such as:

1) Obama is a secret muslim
2) Hungerstrikebreaker (feat. Bruce Springsteen's comptroller)
3) No Blood for Truffle Oil
4) White Male Authoritarian (feat. 10C member #478xxx Billy Bush)
5) Don't thank Jeff (w/nanny nanny poo poo tag)
6) Forget Soon Forget
7) Chopper Plopper (feat. Sean Penn)
8) This Is For You™
9) Short Road (feat. Jaden Smith and Miley Cyrus)
10) Merch of the Hour
11) Sleeping By Myself, on a Large Pile of Money
12) Crazy Larry (feat. Larry Ellison)

It's like Alive meets Given to Fly, but more anthemic.

when writing it he skipped "what is this going to sound like live" and went straight to "what is this going to look like live with a rock-opera lighting system that makes lasers in the shape of a helicopter and a house"

Don't forget "How good will a 15 second snippet of it sound on TV when your favorite sporting event is heading to a commercial?"

BOB insisted that this be on the album after re-writing, playing all instruments on, and singing it into the recording equipment while Ed was in the studio restroom.

The World Series paid top dollar given its perfectly hook-y chorus: "Sinker to hoooome, come ooooout and catch it"
